The Ghost Rider Tree
This is King Henry Apartments. Ben and I both lived in these apartments back in 2000 when we met. Ben lived in the upper right – 82. I had purchased a pink BMX bike at the DI and would ride it around the complex. This tree had a branch that came out by the sidewalk so I would ride by and then stand on the bar of the bike and jump up and grab the tree branch. Then I swing from the tree and the bike ghost rides off into the grass. Sweet Trick, right? Anyway, One of the days I was out riding and I did the trick but my hands slipped off the branch and I came right down on top of the bike and got the handlebars in my back. Ben happened to be home and saw it and came rushing out to see if I was ok. I think I popped right up and pretended it didn’t hurt :0 (that was probably when we fell in love)
