I revved that poor little engine for all it was worth, and then puttered off carefully. - I must’ve been topping out at over 10 mph when [ hit that ramp. I made it all the way to the top — actually cleared the barrel somehow. Sliding to a stop I let the dust clear, threw the bike over, and stood there with both arms raised — basking in the glow. sui ag Heath came rushing over. “I’m his hero,” I thought. “My turn... My turn...” He cried. The day wore on, and after I’d gotten 20 or 30 jumps under my belt, I finally decided to give in to Heath’s constant badgering.

Angered at suddenly being snapped back to reality I shouted, “Get outta’ here, punk!” Then I pretended to lunge at him. He fell back. I could do that then. I was 13 and he was 7. ecu . . As usual, he popped up quicker than a Bobo punching bag and asked, “Can I help?” sath “You might as well,” I fumed, “Miss America’s done gone now!” As great daredevils are apt to do, Imade some last-minute ramp adjustments. I took a few dry test runs to carefully calculate the precise speed I would need to clear the barrel., Finally, when I could think of no other suspense builders, I readied for my approach. This was the moment the world had waited for. I flipped the lid down on my helmet and gave one last wave to the Quality Health Care For The Entire Family EFLAND | EDICAL ' ENTER, Lic.

After putting a good scaring into him I gave him the helmet. The first indication he hadn’t been listening was when he went plum around front of the house to start his approach. I couldn’t see him, but then I heard him coming; cranking it down and winding it out every gear. He blazed around the corner: doing at least 50. I was screaming and flagging my arms wildly, but he only had one thing on his mind, and he hit that ramp as fast as that Honda would go. _I’m_not sure what the world motorcycle jumping record is, but I can tell you, I was the lone witness to it that day. Heath was probably still on the way up when he set it! He jumped clean over the whole back yard and landed with a thud just short of the cotton fields. He was a tough little fellow, though, because somehow he managed to hold on, although his legs were flapping along behind like sheets in the wind, and that knobby back tire was working his business over something fierce.
