The Big Died
Panic REV
|
Meaning:
The
typical reaction when a frightened rider sees that her front end is low in the
air [and we aren’t talking about the bike here].
If you hear this at the track, look quick cause you’ll probably see a
crash!! [The exclamations marks are mine!!!!!!!]

‘The
Big Died’ is my own contribution to the MX repertoire. I don’t think it needs any explanation. It is not that I have never ridden during my ‘glory
days’. I recall many sunny afternoons,
okay, one – or maybe something about that particular ‘one’ makes it stand out
from the rest.
It
could have been a scene from the musical ‘Grease’. I turned up with my girls (sister and the
dog). The local track was filled with
dust, petrol fumes and blow flies. Then
there was this cute rider with a brand new 750.
He made the fatal mistake. He let
me ride it. The front wheel was never
found and I still have the burn marks.
Bleed
the Breaks, Block the Pass, Kill the Bike, Dead Sailor, Idle the Screw, Run
Choppy, Wash Out, hey, call me a Squid (inconsistent or dangerous driver), call
me a Spode (a rider that has no skill, but does not realize it and never
improves). I must admit though, my
little sortie in MXF was a blast. I will
be playing this one again – probably on my own.
After all, no one does The Big Died like me.
Jasmine Neutron Star is the
first book of the Star Ways Chronicles.
It is a novel most suitable for young adult and teenager readers of
speculative, fantasy / science fiction, urban fantasy. It is a humorous account of Jasmine’s first
adventure into the world of light – Quanta.
She is a spirem – a new kind of superhero – and perfect for the sphere
of Terra.
