This day was the first time I rode a quad and had my first crash. I was at David Polman’s house when I was about 7 years old and we went quading. He has a lot of trails. As we were riding in his bumpy and rocky trials, I thought I was good, so I went really fast and I crashed right into a tree. The quad tipped over and I fell off. Good thing I was wearing a helmet. I was also wearing short sleeves and shorts, so I’m glad it was a tree and not a pricker bush.
