How I got my nickname!
I thought I had better explain why I am called Crash2511. Crash is a nickname I use for everything. the 2511 part came from my very first bank card code, which I no longer have.
When I was still at secondary school I had a paper round to earn myself some money. I have always been money motivated and when I saw the opportunity to earn more money by taking over more paper rounds for the shop I took it with both hands.
I was doing 3 peoples worth of paper rounds earning almost £30 a week it involved travelling 37 miles per week, doing a paper round every morning before school and on the weekends and monday - saturday evenings. I had to do my rounds in the sunshine, snow and rain.
It must have been winter because there was frost and ice everywhere I had got my papers from the shop and headed out about 7.15 am. I had posted my first half of papers and it was my favourite part, behind my house on Jervoise road Birmingham was a massive hill the locals call the green hill. I had rode my bike down this hill every day, twice a day for over a year.
I braked at the top of the hill which I didn't normally do, I was wondering weather to get off and just push it down but decided against it. My bike was pretty old and the brakes sometimes didn't work that great but I had rode down this hill a million times. I pushed off from the floor and went zooming down this steep hill.i turned around the corner on the bottom, I pressed my brakes and they didn't do a thing I was facing 3 small ballads and a 6 foot fence.
I chose to try and go between the fence and a ballard, i didn't fit i smashed into the fence breaking it and flying over my bike handles, It was a Sunday morning so nobody was around. I just remember waking up over the other side of the path roughly 2 metres away from the fence looking at the sky. I was in panic I left my things and knocked on the doors of the houses near by, my face felt like it was on fire. Nobody answered there door.
I walked back to the fence and picked up my paper bag and bike, the wheel was buckled so it was hard to move. I pushed it all the way back up the hill crying in some state of panic, I saw my next door neighbour walking his dog. I walked past silently crying and made it back to my house it only took 15 minutes. I shouted for my dad and he thought I had been beaten up. He shouted who did this, who did this and I replied shouting the fence!!!
I got inside and my dad got my mom and she tried to calm me and sooth my cuts and bruises. I felt so sleepy but they wouldn't let me sleep. I had given myself a massive black eye, split lip, a scratch on my cheek and a bruise on the tip of my noise.
I saw the doctor and had a week of school. The only person I told was my best friend Rachael but some how everybody in school new what had happened. I was so embarrassed I got beat up by a fence and since that day they called me Crash and drew horrible pictures of me.
Everybody that did a paper round for Arden News had to wear a helmet from that day on. Sorry people.
Now I use this nickname as a alias because I honestly don't mind it. Lots of people use the username Crash so I added the 2511 to make it unique. If you type into google "crash2511" here is a page of all my things and a few random people of course.
