When I first got my new all american bike I was so happy that my parents actually got it, for me it was so expensive. The day I told my dad about the bike and I showed him it on the computer, I was only looking and not ready to buy a bike but I found a website that I could make my own bike and I did it and made a really cool bike with green rims and blueish green handle grips and a checker board seat with green petals with a white rim on the front tire. I wanted a lighter bike for jumps because I have always hit jumps since like the first day I could ride a bike and now its my favorite thing to do when i'm not playing a sport.
I was so happy when I realized my dad was going to get it for me, now remember my mom doesn't know any of this yet.
“Mom guess what dad just got me?”
I said with a super exited voice my mom was worried, I could tell. She looked at me with a scared look and she said
“Do I really want to know?”
I said
“Well I don't know its really expensive...”
” She looked at me with a look that I have never seen before and she yelled BRUCE GET IN HERE”
and my dad kinda laughed and said “ did danton tell u the good news?” and she said
“No not yet but you are going to tell me.”
My dad said well danton... My mom stopped him
“Don't blame Danton tell me what you bought him”
My dad said “We were on the computer and danton told me he needed a new bike and we made one on a all american website and it was only 250$.” My mom said

“Ok what is he going to do for you”
And I cut in
“Ill clean the house and vacuum and mow the lawn every week.”
My mom said
“Ok.”
When my mom left the room I asked my dad “why did u tell her it was only 250$!?” And he said
“Well she told me not to spend a lot of money on you right before christmas so this is a early christmas present, ok?”
“Yeah thanks, but when are you going to tell her how much it actually was?”
“When ever she gives me my presents,”
he laughed, I said
“Ok haha.”
The next week came and I couldn't wait to get out of school because my brand new custom bike was going to be at my house ready to put together, as I got off the bus I walked very fast and saw the four boxes on my front porch... my eyes lit up and I let my dog out and ran outside and started bringing the boxes into the garage and I opened them and laid out all the parts and was looking for instructions, I didn't see them so I just started putting it together I already knew how to put a bike together. I got everything except the handle bars on and realized I didn't have the right ones... I was looking in the boxes and saw something all wrapped up and i couldn't tell what it was so i opened it and there they were.
My dad came home at 4 o'clock and saw me in the back hitting jumps already, he yelled
“Well come here and let me see it”
so I rode over to him and he said
“This is very cool and light”
and I said
“Yeah and it's super easy to pedal too.”
Then he said
“Well tomorrow i'll bring you to dylans and you can try it out on some real jumps” so I called my cousin Dylan, he is super good at biking and he said
“Yeah come on over and i'll show you some new tricks and we will go out to eat, ok?”
I answered with a very excited tone ok thanks I will be there at like 1:00pm
”He said ok cool”.
The next day we went to his house and he said
“Well lets see it”
as I was getting it out of my dads car he said
“Dang that is a super nice bike, dude.”
and I said thanks and he asked
“How much did u pay for that again?”
I said
“ Around $650, why?”
he looked at me with a surprised look on his face and said
“Well dude u got a super good deal on that then cause thats like a 900$ bike, I almost got one but I liked the design of this one better”
my dad looked at me and said
“Well thats cool” and I said “heck yeah it is.”
So we went to his track and got to the starting ramp and i said to him
“ Umm I think you should check my bike and make sure i put it together right”
the half pipe is what scared me when I saw it, I have never hit a real good jump with this bike before. He looked at it and said
“Yeah this looks fine, are you scared?”
I said
“No?”
I really was that 8 foot tall jump was intimidating for me because the last time I got a concussion on that same jump and have never hit it since and he told me
“ I think you can hit this one now ur a lot better than you were last year.”
I looked at it and took the first pedal and speeded down the starting mound and as I was just about to hit it I got a super nervous feeling, I suddenly remembered what dylan had told me when i first started doing bmx
“If u ever get a feeling that feels like ur nervous to just stop and restart.”
I suddenly stopped and went back up and he said what happened I told him I didn't get a good start so I went back down and hit that jump and landed I realized my eyes were closed I went on to the next jump and hit it spun my handlebars and he yelled “DANG YOU DID GET A LOT BETTER DIDN'T YOU?”
As he got onto the half pipe I was very scared, I have never been on one before and he was very good at it. I really didn't want to, so I didn't I told him
“Maybe next time I come over and i'm used to the new bike”
and he said
“Alright thats cool, im glad u didnt try. you have some common sense don't you haha”
I said my goodbyes to my uncle and aunt and to Dylan and went home on the way my dad said
“Do u like your bike?”
I shook my head yes and when we got home I went right to bed and it was only like 8:00pm I was super tired.
