The Ride of My Life
My foot jammed underneath the foot brake - this was a manual ATV. My heart races as I speed down the biggest slope on the whole mountain backwards. I cannot move. The ATV was hitting rocks that caused the handlebars to move side to side. My friend, hollering my name behind me as I am about to bash into him. Suddenly I hit a rock I turned to the other direction. I continued to go down passed him the edge of the cliff is just behind me. I get my foot to the break but I hit another rock and the ATV goes berserk it changes direction completely but I missed the cliff. My heart slows down knowing that I am not going to die on this cliff but I do not know what awaits behind me. My helmet slips round I am blinded and beginning to suffocate. I near the end of the hill. The instructors followed after me. My friend jumps off his ATV and runs towards me and I keep thinking in my head "this is it". There is a copse of trees behind me as I look over my shoulder. The biggest tree lay ahead. "BOOM". I tumble off and hit multiple trees I am covered in dirt. I close my eyes and think to myself "I am a survivor".
