An insane, unhinged parent has his child intentionally hit me with his dirt bike from behind,

and I barely make it away with my life. I just had the weirdest encounter with a parent.

For some context, I'm currently doing a walk across three provinces,

totaling in 1,500 kilometers. I'm from Toronto, and on April 30th, I arrived in New Brunswick

to walk the Trans-Canada Trail from the start right to Niagara Falls, in an attempt to raise

money for MADD Canada, which is Mother's Against Drunk Driving. I'm now on day 5 of my walk,

just hitting the 300 kilometer mark, because just walking alone can be tedious. I use my headset,

so I can rock out as I walk. At the moment, I'm fairly close to a town, so I am seeing a fair bit

more people than I did yesterday, and this afternoon, there were ATVs zooming past me on this trail.

To be safe, I was walking far on the left hand side, so in the worst case scenario,

I could see the ATV coming and have an opportunity to jump out of the way, instead of being taken

down from behind. What I didn't account for was the terrible parent and their goblin hell spawn,

taking offense to me even using this path. Mind you, I was on a state path of the trail,

it's easy to walk, not hilly, and I was just mining my own business, and rocking out like a legend,

when suddenly I'm flat on my face, down on the ground. Something took me out from behind,

and there I was, completely dazed, face down on the ground. My headset was not clean off my head,

and in my fall, I went flying 15 feet ahead, and down the embankment. When my brain registered

what happened, and came out of the days, and I hear a kid laughing and saying to his father,

you got him good, to which the father exclaimed that people like that won't learn unless you teach

them a hard lesson. Now keep in mind, at this point, I am in pain, and my adrenaline is pumping,

so I was upset. I stand up and I start yelling at them, so this parent actually saw me peacefully

walking down the trail, mining my own business, and didn't like the fact that I was on the left
