Randomly, in the spirit of Halloween, I figured I'd share my mostly minor mishap today. It happened on my spare junker BMX bike today while doing front end spin around sort of balance tricks.

Apparently I need to get some end caps for my handlebars, the sharp uncapped handlebars are what cut me. ☹️🤦

Edit: Don't mind the wristband, that's a 1.5 pound sandbag weight to help exercise my left arm.

Yeah, apparently so. I've only been practicing on this junker/fixer-upper bike since the 10th, I'm still noting a number of fixes and upgrades it eventually needs..
