tried launching into a rockgarden on an all mountian bike. i ended up having to have 3 hours of dental work and the anaesthetic didn't work properly. it hurt a lot when the dentist drilled into a nerve.

Stupidest thing I ever done involving a bike?

.......buying a Kona Big Grin



Seriously though, once I had bought a wheel off a mate at my local trail, I had to strap it to my backpack to get it to the bottom. I was airing jumps and it would float up over my back while I was in the air. Then I thought "hmm what if it upsets my balance?" BANG! CRASH! I was under body armour at the time but I managed to get a huge rock smashing into my upper leg, the one place which wasnt protected.

Things I learned:

-It is not advisable to buy things for your bike when you are actually biking
-If you must, do not strap it to your back
-If you must, do not attempt jumps.
