if i crash trying something big-ish i'm fine, but i just dislocated my shoulder riding down the road, standing up with one hand off and i accidentally pulled the back brake (new pads) and i went over the handle bars and landed on my shoudler

I normally fall after lots of vodka and beer. It's normally while Im trying to do something rad like dropkick a sign, trying to break things, throwing stuff at stuff.

On my bike, who knows. Traction, gravity, weight distribution, riding while very tired, not paying attention etc etc.

Somedays I crash when an old woman hits me in the face with a piece of 2x4 because I ran over her family pet and it got broken a bit.

Once today, and it was too wet for hard braking and for my gazza and nbx.

I fall everytime I ride something new... at least once, if not more. Sometimes a great fall is better than actually landing... it's more entertaining all- around.

I agree, in one run today everyone fell at least once, and they were all falls where we just skidded out because it was pouring rain.

when crash it is either cuz my brakes arent working, or i misjudge a line and go steep and catch my wheel on a rock and flip. dont normally crash of drops and jumps unless i sink into the landing cuz it was horribly built
