Moms with sons, look away!

oh man.

All I could do was look and have my face in that prefect little "O" just as every kid on the side line did.

I hate not knowing the outcome!!

he'll make it. all he's got to do is reach back, grab his bike, situate it under his crotch before he hits the pavement, and, bingo, roll away to the noisy admiration of his peers. done it a thousand times.

You're a bad influence. See me after school.

And BTW, it's not just moms. I had a boyfriend who did stuff like that. Being about nine years older than him, I really tried not to do the 'mom's scared' thing, but... yeeks.

My son will never own a bike.

And though some of you are upset because you don't know the outcome, I don't want to see the landing on that. You know it frickin' hurt!

It's not just boys... My cousin's husband has crashed his motorcycle a few times, broken his rips numerous times, fractured his skull, crushed his nose, and had to have corrective surgery on his face. He still rides, and what could she do except insist on a hefty life insurance policy...

Sweetcheeks, we all know the outcome. SMASH!

Things were looking a little grim for poor Elliot, on his first solo flight after E.T. abandoned him above the corner of 5th and Maine to use the phonebooth.

That would be my son - only rollerblades instread of a bike. I have a lovely shot of him upside down over a car. He landed OK...after breaking the windshield I got my brothers curse.."May your kids be as bad as you were." My brother was a stunt man for a short stint...breaking ones leg in 16 places fom the knee down ended that. I am surprised my son has never broken a bone! He's 24 and just as aggressive on a snowboard. Ahh...thats where the gray hairs are coming from! Thanks for the pic turkey. *goes to call son*

One of my ex-boyfriends was a professional rollerblader. He about gave me frickin' heart failure.

I think that's a fake.

His right foot appears to be blocking view of a portion of the left handlebar. That puts the bike in an impossible position. Maybe it's just me.

Could be...but I've seen my sons videos - thats not far from the truth. I feel bad laughing at some. (I'm sick that way!) A lot of "landing on the rail with your nuts" shots....maybe thats why I don't have grandkids!

Oh my . . . I'm *not* looking forward to when my boys (two of them) try to do this with their bikes. They're five and seven right now AND already setting up ramps. It makes me cringe, so I've hidden all the wood.

I hope the kid didn't die.

Or, alternatively, that it was kind enough to kill him.

I have one of those husbands. 40 years old and we still deal with broken backs, limbs and have various body parts pinned together.

Are there any pictures showing what happened to this kid? Did he come out of it okay?
