Frozen Pond And Dirt Bike

2006 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Every one has a story of something really stupid they have done, I am no different. At the ripe age of 15 a friend and I were riding dirt bikes in northern Indiana. We came across a pond that seemed to be frozen solid. First my fellow rider walked across the pond to test our theory. I on the other hand had what I thought to be a good idea. I decided to ride my Yamaha 125 across the pond to prove I was more a more skilled rider. I manage to keep the bike from sliding but what I didn’t realize was the ice had been breaking behind me. About 15 feet from the shore the ice gave way and I along with my bike fell through the ice. Luckily the water wasn’t any more than three feet deep. After making to the bank freezing I found that not only was my pride hurt but the abrupt change in temperature cracked the block to my 3 week old bike.

You WERE a bit young, but seeing as this is a first-person PA, age isn't as important! I liked the write-up, and hopefully the inconvienience of a cracked engine block taught you a lesson! :-) Thanks for the submission!
