Riding four-wheelers can be lots of fun, but it can also be very hazardous as I one day discovered. It was a warm summer day and I was about seven years old. I was outside playing with my brother.This day turned into one of the most memorable moments from my childhood and I soon learned how dangerous four-wheelers could be. As always,anytime it was nice and warm, Braxton and I would go out to play. On this particular day, my mother was at work and my dad was inside the house. This day seemed to…

At Disneyworld, I was terrified. I faced Expedition Everest, supposingly the worst roller coaster in the entire park. Somehow I, who had always shied away from those terrifying rides, had been coerced into line. My protests about peer pressure were ignored. My friends reassured me it would be fun. In a strange way, I agreed. Not much, but some. I would never admit it, but a small voice in the back of my mind seemed to agree with them. So I resisted the urge to flee in the opposite direction, to…

The purple roller coaster with a Bizarro logo on the front came to a sudden stop. The silver gates that were keeping me in like a caged animal opened, almost like they were freeing me. But they weren’t, they were leading me right into my biggest fear. My heart was beating out of my chest, and I could hear the pounding in my ears- Oh yeah, you guys don’t know how this all started. It all started in the car on the way here. My friend Jack and I were watching Shrek on my ipad. We were in the car…

Cedar Point, the Roller Coaster Capital of the world, certainly lives up to its title. Scattered throughout the park are some of the most intense roller coasters you’ll ever hear of. I was fortunate enough to have experienced the phenomenon of riding atop the Top Thrill Dragster over summer vacation, which lasted only 20 seconds of real time, but will forever be embedded within my long-lasting memory. The fiery orange sun began to submerge below the line of the horizon, far out across the calm…

“How am I on this!” I yell as I wrap my sweaty hands tightly over the black side bars. The tallest roller coaster in the world, Kingda Ka. It looked down on us above our miniscule heads. I was with my best friend Jimmy, who is the crazy side of me. He asked me if I wanted to come to Six Flags with me one day. Of course, I said yes because Six Flags is a lot of fun. Why would I decline? Little did I know that I wasn’t getting the full experience unless I went on the big rides. The biggest thing I…

got up and unblemished the house to make it look like a brand new shoe. This about the first time I rode a roller coaster at Mall of America. Walking to Mall of America the wind was characteristic with joy of wonder inside my ear. When I arrived the amusement park was voluminous like the inside of an mansion. Entering the amusement park I decided which roller coaster to ride. Love is a roller coaster because of the unbalance emotion you go through during the events. Checking my height I was…

On the 24th of June 2016, it was my first time driving. My first driving lesson with my mum. I drove from school to 7Eleven, Pacific Fair. I felt nervous but excited at the same time. From Pacific Fair, I decided to go to Southport, by tram, to go to Culture Kings to go and buy a pair of shoes. I also took my skateboard with me, so I could get there quicker. I got off the tram, skating around looking for ‘Culture Kings’. While on my skateboard I went over some bricks, riding very fast and fell…

Crack, crack, crack, S-C-R-E-E-C-H! I quickly covered my ears. I listened to the roller coaster as it pulled in with panting people. As the metal gates swung open, I jumped back with fear, bumping my mom. "Sorry mom", I sputtered. "It's... it's... I'm really scared", I said, with my voice shaking. What if I fall off? What if the roller coaster stops at the top of the loop? I thought nervously as we walked over to the roller coaster. "Dad, are you really going to take your phone and your hat?…

Trying to conceal my mixed emotions of excitement and nervousness. I’ve always told myself that I would NEVER get on a roller coaster in my life, but here I was encased in the supposable safe orange bars that would prevent me from flying off the ride. “I’m so excited!” My former friend Jazz exclaimed as we began ascending sluggishly forward. It was too her first time going on a roller coaster and at that moment…
