I had access to one at 15 and we also owned a ranch in which i discovered biking. It was extremely liberating and i took to it immediately, just liked the feeling of the air and mobility a lot.

Ended catastrophically when i took too much liberty and got myself addicted to reaching even higher speed. I fell down at what felt like a million MPH and had so many injuries that i thought it was over (upon further inspection later, i was lucky to miss an enormous boulder only a few feet away).

Struggled all the way back to the house (nobody with me) and swore never to be on anything with two wheels again. Still have marks from that accident about four years later.
