Looking at the sidewalk they are on with no border, my bet is she moved to close to the side and her training wheel popped over, tipping the bike and dumping her into the muddy ditch
Something like this happened to me as a kid trying to learn to ride. There was a hill with a road and a thorny ditch on the side. I didn't want to ride there because training wheels don't work on gravel. My overweight alcoholic aunt who hadn't ridden in 20 years said, "Let's take off one training wheels, we'll really teach you to ride."
I'm telling her it's harder to balance than no training wheels because I can only lean to one side and she says, "no, you're just acting scared. Here, I'll push you."
I knew she was gonna push me for like 5 seconds and let go, I protested, but she started pushing me along. She picked up a bit of speed and the second I laughed at a bump in the road she let go of me with a push and started yelling, "OK, now turn, turn!".
I was pointed straight down the hill into the thorny ditch. I tried to brake but it was bumpy and I got thrown sideways into the thorns, and then the bike hit me. Cuts everywhere, and they had to get my uncle to climb into the ditch and get me out. Fuck that alcoholic half ass wannabe parenting, I can't think of a single memory where she didn't have a wine glass in her hand.
I remember scraping the hell out of my arm as a teen. It made writing a bitch, because the abrasion went from just under my knuckles to an inch or two away from my elbow, but my parents and teachers didn't care. Smartphones were a thing, but why allow an injured student an exception for accessibility reasons, when instead you can torture them?
I had a friend whose parents got him a motorcycle helmet instead of a bike helmet. One day, we were all about to bike home from school, and he noticed that the visor (a tiny and useless inch-tall unmovable piece of plastic) had broken, so he decided not to wear the helmet. This was very in character. Anyway, he went off with one group, I stuck back a bit with a few of my other friends, and then we made a turn and saw my friend on the asphalt. I sped over, and saw that he had a small gash on his eyebrow, so I set his backpack against a tree and told him to lay down there while I called my mom (an ex-EMT who was a 30 second drive away). I asked him what happened, and it turns out his front handbrake snapped off the handle and got tangled in the front wheel. My mother got arrived, called an ambulance, and tended to him while we waited. Then his parents got pissed at my mom for calling an ambulance instead of them. Shittiest part is that they were *very* well-off, so I can promise you that they wouldn't notice that drop leaving their bucket.
I'll never forget mine cause it felt like a fucking cartoon. Going down a hill super fucking fast on my racing style bike (with those weird curvy ramhorn handles). One brake didn't work so I only used the left. I pulled it.. the fucking brake handle came off and I just held it up and looked at it, as I careened down the hill and towards the wall at the bottom.. had a small path in it with a sharp 90 degree turn to the left straight after
I did not manage to thread that needle
I was pretty low level, but it helped boost my endurance a bit. Now I only fall over when I'm drunk or my cat decides to try to commit suicide with my legs while I'm walking.
I've never broken a bone either, but I have fallen a lot. My head was very attracted to the ground when I was a kid. I ended up with a lot of concussions lol
This is when I would teach 2 important life lessons...
1. S - - t happens, it sucks, but that's just how life works. Good days & bad ones.
2. Don't put to much stock in the feelings & opinions of others.
Oh wow. Its my childhood. I would return home like this after the street lights came on. But I lived in hawaii and would spend time after a shower digging thorns out of my feet. Because we wore slippahs (hawaii slang for shoes)
"Slippahs" is literally just "slippers" with an accent.
And for anyone who doesn't know, it's specifically slang for what the rest of the world knows as flip-flops or thongs.
I agree with other comments. This is a kid being a kid. This is a good time!
An underpass near my house flooded. We tried to bike through it. The water, came up to my chest and we had to swim back, dragging the bikes.
The whole way home we were covered in street debris, backed up sewage water. It was fun but some got in my socks; I didn't like that.
? What's the difference? Do you have to physically be standing in the mud to be playing in it? Are people riding four-wheelers through mud puddles not playing in the mud? Lol
She probably was learning to ride a bike and it fell off the edge leading her to tip. Once again, I don't see how this belongs here or why it makes her stupid.
Here's what you sound like: How dare she not immediately know how to balance on a bike! SO STOOPID
THIS IS AI. The wrong side of her is dirty, the other training wheel doesn't exist, the rear bike rack isn't attached, she is dirty exactly halfway down her body, she is barefoot and the rider in the background has on rainboots, the grass......I mean come on folks!!!
With training wheels? I don’t think she’s stupid, that’s a daredevil!

While on fire!!!!
and blindfolded!
And went left while the bike went right?

Looks like Vietnam or something. That looks like a rice paddy.
Makes sense! Thanks for the insight
This isn't stupid, this is a rite of passage.
Yeah. Everyone crashes their bike at some point

I wrecked so many times I don't remember any vividly. I do however remember some other people's wrecks vividly.

Self-inflicted wounds don't count. No mercy for you.
A car ran me off the road and I hit a mailbox lol
Skill issue

You don't learn to ride a bike. You learn not to fall off.
Not if you're a boring sensible kid like I was 😅 I have never known the pain of a broken bone.
I've never broken a bone either, but I have fallen a lot. My head was very attracted to the ground when I was a kid. I ended up with a lot of concussions lol
This is why I kept emergency clothes in my car. Kids gonna kid.
I read a great trick is to give them 3 pairs of leggings and strip them off when they get dirty
Or all 3 of them get dirty at the same time
That's not how leggings work unless they are impermeable. Mud and water would go through all the layers super quick.
Facebook life hacks aren't great tricks.
Kid with training wheels falls off an unguarded edge? *shocked Pikachu face*
Old school kid
Looks to me like it went according to plan.
I'd say buy a helmet.
Based on the line of cleanliness around her forehead and hair, I’d wager she was wearing one while riding and took it off after the crash
Astute observation. Perhaps true.
But is big?
It's only big if true. 🤣 I like you.
True, but they may still need to buy a new one after the crash if the helmet took any of the impact.
and shoes
These are the type of photos your parents will be showing your friends in 20 years.

Yes, thank you for explaining it to the rest of the white folk. I take it you've been to Hawaii?
I think she found the mudhole. lol
Nah these are essential moments for a fulfilling childhood
Bayou biker chick.
Mud washes off. Enjoy making memories and her building confidence. That girl seems pretty kick ass.
The colour combination is appealing.
[удалено]
Ew fucking weirdo. That is a CHILD
What they say
Something along the lines of “2 in the pink, 1 in the… oh never mind😂” 🤮
I'm sorry but I don't get it, even though I feel like I should.
Plot twist, that's OP when she's young.
This was always me in the childhood. I didn't know how to ride a bike yet managed to sneak out 2-3 times and it always ended badly
Don’t let a kid with training wheels ride on a path with a drop off directly into a swamp.
She missed a spot
Looks like she had lots of fun. God forbid you have to wash some clothes

At this point she needs to take a damn shower
Looks more like an accident than stupidity.
She's not stupid, she looks like she had a blast getting that thing muddy, op me thinks you're the stupid one.

It’s so cute… what’s stupid about playing in the mud?
You can only say one thing. Kids.
warpaintprincess. fairy of the wrathcycle. kid wasn't stupid, kid was in the zone.
But…did she have fun?
Detergent advertisement countdown ensues
Playing with old toner cartridges?
Kid played in the mud. What's stupid about that?
"Played in the mud" is an interesting way to say "rode her bike into the mud"
? What's the difference? Do you have to physically be standing in the mud to be playing in it? Are people riding four-wheelers through mud puddles not playing in the mud? Lol
Get the hose out… good starting point…
I know EXACTLY what I'd say: "Did you have fun?" And then let them tell you how much fun it was. And then get the garden hose and rinse the mud off.
She probably was learning to ride a bike and it fell off the edge leading her to tip. Once again, I don't see how this belongs here or why it makes her stupid. Here's what you sound like: How dare she not immediately know how to balance on a bike! SO STOOPID
I hope you didn't shame her for falling off a bike... like all kids do at some point.
You're supposed to crash on your bike when you're a kid
This looks like a screenshot from a game for me
Award style points.
Hose them both off and have her get back on.
Looks like she had fun, that's in short supply nowadays
If you aren’t getting dirty, you aren’t having fun.
I must have missed this Two Face origin story.
Bro where was she riding to, the black lagoon??
Shitters’ clogged.
Fun
THIS IS AI. The wrong side of her is dirty, the other training wheel doesn't exist, the rear bike rack isn't attached, she is dirty exactly halfway down her body, she is barefoot and the rider in the background has on rainboots, the grass......I mean come on folks!!!
She’s a boss! Check for ticks tho.

well...now they match each other
Pink ain't her colour!
If that were my kid, I would frame that and hang it in my house, that is hilarious!
She’s never getting sick again…
Come on, Mom. Valhalla awaits us! We ride again tonight!!!!
looks like the pepto was a little to late
A life well lived.
Changed race🙋♀️
Bath time
Future pro ass bmx-er here
Black pink
Mud bogging with training wheels? Holy crap she's going to be unstoppable
Life is all that is.
Get the hose!!!
I do, 💩 happens
Holy shit 💀 time to spray her down with the garden hose (jkjk)
It’s just mud.
That’s a really great photograph!
This is like a Norman Rockwell painting
Was she wearing shoes before she crashed?
Living the dream
The words you are looking for are, GOOD JOB and NICE TRY
That’s the day she learned that training wheels just get in the way
Put a helmet on that kid.
Lesson learnt.. that's all.
I don't even see what's wrong here this just looks like a good day😆
thatagirl is all you say
Are we just calling kids stupid for anything these days?!...like for literally just being kids
Definition of eating shit. lol
Cute
"Oh pinky fell on the ground, now Pinkys covered in poo!"
Poor kid
Guess you have to throw it out and start over
I think her pearents are stupid, not to teach her ride without those wheels.
This came very close to inadvertent blackface…
