Wheels to gravel

Have you ever thought about what it would be like to long board down one of the steepest hills in your town just for fun , well and for fifty bucks. It was just a summers ago when I still lived in Silverdale Washington. My best friend Kayla and I had our whole day planned out we would go into town and long board around then later meet up with our friends at the skate park. We left my house started to skate down the flat part of Ridgetop hill we then stopped and collaborated a plan weather we should walk down the hill or to see which one of us was stupid enough to long board down the long and steep part of the street. Even the most dexterous long boarders wouldn't dare to go down it. It all started when Kayla said "I'll pay you fifty bucks to long board down the hill as far as you can go." So I tell her "Yeah I can do that with no problem." I lay my board down on the rough sidewalk, putting all of my trust into my balance so that my board won't wobble. I push off, I notice my self going just as fast as the cars driving by me. I see Kayla running on the other side of the street trying to catch up with me, shes starts yelling WATCH OUT. I look up and see that the side walk turns into gravel and before i could decide if i should jump off my board or just stay on. My wheels had hit the gravel, trying to put my hands out in front of me so my head won't bounce off the concrete. I did succeed with that my head did not hit the side walk but my right side of my body did. I was pretty resilient for someone who had just flown off their long board. But when I had noticed my bloody knee I started to panic a bit. Kayla runs over and grabs my board and comes over to me to see if I was okay. Once I told her that I was okay, she starts to laughter so hard and says "That was so funny to watch I should have recorded it." Once she stopped laughing at me I told her we need to find a place to clean my knee up, we looked around to see where we could go but the only closest place was Taco Bell. Walking in people stared at us, we asked the lady at the counter for a first aid kit and went into the bathroom and we we're disgusted by how dirty it was. But we ignored the filth and cleaned my knee up and went on with our day.
