Vinny

One day I was influenced by my friends to hit a ramp on my bike even though i'm not good with ramps. It was a snowy day a and there was snow on the ground and my friends convinced me that it's snowing it's not going to hurt. My friend said “Ok i’ll post this on instagram” I said “ok you have my” permission. I did it I was at least 8 feet in the air when I went of the ramp I landed square on my face. I didn’t really hurt but it did leave a mark or two, sure peer pressure is bad but you still have to realize what it is.

After I did the ramp it really didn’t put a negative influence on me beside maybe a cut but I wasn't bleeding too bad. I would say it’s a positive influence because it didn’t hurt that bad negatively didn’t affect me.
