Went over a ramp, wheel pops off and my front fork digs into the same pavement, ass over tea kettle and chin RIGHT into the pavement. 20 stitches, anesthesia directly into the wound [that part was the worst pain my life, which I guess is a bad AND good thing].
I don't know for sure that the kid loosened my wheel, but he was around my bike right before it happened and I know I didn't loosen it, and the first time the front wheel came off the ground it just went flying. I never said anything about it to anyone to tell you how much of a bully he was.
Saw him at the old Crest Drive-In over a decade later and he just looked so small and sad [not literally small, he was Zoftig boy]. Figured that chapter of my life was closed.
My parents still joke that they laid low from child protective services for years after those two weeks.

I busted my head open so many times, my parents said I knew where the ER table was and would just jump right up...LOL.
