| This is a story of what almost happened, that everyone agrees would have been one of the most triumphant stories of all time had it not been for a medical emergency. I guess close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, but here it is anyway.
I've been involved in BMX riding (specifically flatland) since I was 16. To this day (I'm 31) I have only met four girls who ride BMX, but well over 200 guys. By "met" I'm talking at least on a personal level; introduce myself, shake hands, discuss flatland, etc. The ratio of girls to guys involved in this sport is even more askew than that, I would guess in the neighborhood of 1:500.
When I was 28, I took my first trip to Austin, Texas for a BMX event known as the Team McDuff Jam. Austin is like a BMX Mecca; tons of riders, lots of street spots, The 9th Street dirt trails, and the world famous Oltorf Garage are all within minutes of one another. None of my friends came with me; they all had their excuses. So I took the nine hour drive by myself. I had arranged to stay at a friends house, along with another BMX rider from Austin, and a rider from Tokyo.
Upon arriving I found out that it wasn't just the three of us. I was walking from the kitchen to the bathroom when I almost ran her over. About 5' 7", 130 lbs. Just the right balance of having curves and maintaining an athletic build. PLENTY of tattoos, and very... busty. I'd put her as a solid 8. The first thing that crossed my mind? "Damn! Josh's girlfriend has some huge titties!" Yes, I actually thought "titties". And for some reason, I assumed this was the girlfriend of the home owner, as the other guys were married. After all, why else would she be there? I was wrong. This chick was there to ride, and that alone bumped her up from an 8 to a 10. Along with me and the guy from Tokyo, we were the only out of towners. Everyone else was an Autin local.
I had no intention of running game, for a few reasons. I thought I knew my limits, the top echelon of my "league". She was well beyond that. She's from Cleveland, I'm from New Orleans, and she was seeing someone. She received more attention than she wanted the entire weekend, and it was easy to see that it was an annoyance to her. Like I said, she was there to ride, not hook-up or even party. And this was a vacation for me. Vacations for me are relaxing, not exciting. So, I just treated her like a rider, and a friend. For four days we hung out, rode, saw the city, goofed off, partied a little (neither of us is big on drinking or drugs), and got into shenanigans, all with a large group of BMX riders, all of them men, 90% of them hitting on her. When it was all over, I ended up with her phone number so we could keep in touch, and added her to my FB list. Then I drove home after one of the best weekends of my life.
A few days pass, and she and I had been chatting quite a bit. I find out that her boyfriend actually lived in Atlanta, and when she left Austin she went strait to his house. And she was pissed. He was kind of lazy, just sitting around the house when she wanted to go out, not paying her any attention, not fostering their relationship, etc. So instead she was on iChat with me (might have been SPAM) while he was busy playing World of Warcraft. She had convinced herself that she should leave him, but wanted me to affirm her decision. It was her last time in Atlanta.
I'm not sure how it came up, but we both decided that New Orleans is the greatest town on Earth, and she should come visit me for a few weeks. There is plenty to do here, the weather in November is freakin' incredible compared to the ice and snow in Cleveland, and we know we get along well so it would be a rad time. Up to this moment, I wasn't sure if I was in the friend zone or not. Honestly, I would have been fine with it. Unlike most cases of being friend zoned, this girl actually makes a good friend. During our scheming she made it abundantly obvious I was not. We planned out the entire two weeks. I cleaned my house and washed my car. She bought her ticket. She emailed me the flight itinerary and which flight she would be on. She had already bought tickets online to see the Audubon Zoo (one of the coolest zoo's in the country; she's big on animals and such, totally her idea) and had me print them out. This was it. I was going to score the hottest girl in flatland BMX. I would be a sexual god amongst men in the BMX world.
But like the first sentence says, this is a tale of almost. Remember those big titties I mentioned? Well, they were't real. Oh sure, they're tangible, and they move nicely when she dances. But they were implants. About two weeks before she was set to leave, one of her implants began to leak, no doubt from a BMX crash. She couldn't afford the trip. Things just kind of went downhill from there. I was no longer fresh in her mind. A few weeks later and she met some dude. And the beat goes on.
One thing remains an unequivocal certainty; this would have been the greatest chick, not so much based on looks, but because she is so sought after. Imagine the after party of a large BMX event. 50 male riders show up to the after party, and the one girl who was also involved in the event is also there. She's pretty, fun, fit, and every guy in the room already has an in, and already knows they have something in common with her. Trying to score a 10 in a night club? Bitch please. Though honestly, whatever I did right must have been so subtle that I don't even know what it was.
