4-12-08 - Nick's Brush with Death

[tiney]

One of Rob's old friends visited this weekend. His name is Nick, he's very nice, and his parent live in the Turks and Caicos in a Jurassic-park type estate.

The boys went biking on the trails as they normally do and Nick had a brush with death. Whenever Marty and Rob go out on the trails, they get all banged up because of the trees and the crashing and the falling. Somehow the bikes survive.

Anyways... Nick at one point got some roots caught up in his bike and he fell onto a sabal-palm-branch-bush-thing. Basically the branch went right through his shirt and that's the hole and the picture doesn't show the second hole on the back of the shirt. He's also got some cuts and bruises but he's alive. I think it's weird that a plant almost impaled our friend.
