Wanna hear about the one time I gave my coach a heart attack and she had to take five until her heart slowed down?
Okay, so we have this vertical that's at the top of a steep hill. Lemme just say that I was already fucked before we hit the jump.
I was on Aspertain and we were going to go from the bottom of the up to the vertical and over. Well for some dumbass reason I decided to lean too far forward, which meant that as we're going up the hill, I'm forward - when we hit the jump, I was forward, not balanced. I was jumped onto her neck and my heels hit her flanks. We flew over the vertical without knocking it, and as soon as she landed she immediately started bucking (reminder: I'm on her neck).
I had two options, really. Get my shit together, or fall.
I'm not sure how I managed it, but I hauled my upper body up, jammed my heels down, put my leg on, and managed to bring her head up and stop her. I wasn't even thinking, it just happened. One second I was nearly off, the next I'm grinning at my speechless coach.
And that' how you know I'm batshit.
