Sadly in my mind at the time was, I just got my car painted, no way am i crashing it.
Reality was i was a not so well off kid who just got sponsored for skateboarding by santa cruz skateboards three months earlier, so i was at time feeling on top world. how quickly it changed when my knees went 16" thru my dashboard, seat torn from hinges, and two compressed disks in my back. I stumbled from the car and searched for my cross on my windshield that was like 15' away from my car, the motor was torn from the car and like 3 ft away.
Reality. things happened that are wildly unbelievable and to me in my mind still feels like yesterday. that was 1988.
I still managed to find a person with a car phone and call my mom with a mile marker and frantically telling her mike was trapped in the car.
