Slam!!! |摔了！|摔了!

It finally happened. After a month of carefree skateboarding around New York, I slammed in the most unattractive way this morning on the way to school. 

I should've seen it coming. Last week I hit a pot hole which sent me flying into an intersection but luckily I was able to catch myself and landed on my feet. Then yesterday, I was trying to squeeze between a car and the sidewalk and was met with the sewer grate which locked my wheels up and sent me flying. I had a full backpack on so the weight of it went over my head and almost caused me to do a forward roll but again I was able to stop myself. This morning, I don't know what the hell happened. I was pushing along half awake trying to make it to my 9 o'clock class and my board just stopped like I hit something. I slammed shoulder first into the ground, sunglasses and hat flew off, backpack stayed on. I looked to see what caused me to fall but there was nothing but smooth pavement and a gum wrapper on the ground. A passing car stopped to see if I was ok but I grabbed my stuff and took off before he could see the look of shock and embarrasment on my face. Got this shiner on my shoulder now and a scrape on my knee and elbow. My neck feels jacked and so does my back. Over 30 skateboarding rules! I was scared at first and contemplated going back to walking but the ride home today was so pleasant, I forgot about the bloody hole on my shoulder.

|這事還是發生了。在紐約自由自在用滑板代步一個月之後，今天早上的上學途中還是不引人注意地摔倒了。

我早該想到的，上周滑過一個小坑時被甩到十字路口，幸好我及時停住了腳。昨天本想在人行道和一輛車之間穿過，不巧下水道井蓋卡住了輪子，我飛了出去，滿滿的大背包往前栽，差點讓我前滾翻，又被我及時控制住。今天早上，我壓根就不曉得發生了什麼事。我正半醒著為9點 鐘的課趕路，可能絆到什麼東西，突然滑板就停住了。我的肩膀先著地，太陽鏡和帽子飛了出去，背包砸在地上。想看看是什麼絆倒了我，結果地上什麼也沒有，只 有光滑的人行道和一張口香糖的包裝紙在那兒。路過的一輛車在我身邊停下看我是不是有事，但在他看到我的狼狽尷尬樣子之前，我抓起東西就走。現在我的肩膀上 有了這個傷口，肩和肘擦傷了，感覺脖子和背也扭傷了。比30條滑板守則還有用！我一開始挺害怕，想以後還是改走路吧。但今天回家的路上那麼愉快，我又忘了肩膀上流著血的洞了。
