the perils of longboarding

On an average day of longboarding in the city, you can expect to almost get hit by a car a few times. That's not to bad in my opinion, it keeps your reflexes top notch. And also, dodging cars is fun. Yesterday, however, something far worse than that happened to me yesterday. For the uninformed, while longboarding it is possible for a plastic grocery bag to get wrapped tightly around a wheel. Usually the worst possible effect this can have is coming to an abrupt halt. This problem is much greater though if the the bag is filled with dog shit.
