yeah, rolled a drop to nose manual, over the bars, lost a shoe. they were junk anyway. i have also lost my pants on an over-enthusiastic abubaca, dropped a little too far.

ive lost my shoes a bunch of times. not due to not tying them though. i always have them on tight enough so they usually wont fall off but i have had a few where my foot got tangled in the frame or crank arm or something and had it ripped off, and i couldnt get the shoe back on unless i were to untie it. i had a funny one when i was at blue mountain, i washed out in a berm on showcase and my shoe (i have no idea how) was a solid 20+ feet back from where i stopped and the shoelaces had been completely ripped out. not to mention i was booking it pretty good, but i dont understand how the shoelaces were completely torn out as they were .. haha yup thats my funny story.

I've got a top notch shoe story. So back when me and my buddy were starting to dirt jump, we had these 3 jumps set up. First 2 go down fine, come up to the third one and the jump wasn't packed very well because we had just built it. It kind of explodes as I take off it, leaving me with not much speed. My front wheel cases the landing and I go over the bars and start rolling through the forest. I get up to realise I'm missing my right shoe. Me and my buddy spend close to 20 minutes looking all over for it in the forest. Could not find it. We decide to call it a day, I ring my mom to come pick me up because there is no way I'm hopping my bike home. I go to pick my bike up and whadda ya know. My shoe had somehow got caught on my brake lever and was sitting there all along. I felt pretty stupid about that one.

haha iv only lost a shoe once and i was wearing my new 6.0's.. i was trying a bigger 180 gab and over rotated. i got a pretty bad high ankle sprain but my loteks i had before never fell off. i still use them just as much as the nikes. the loteks grips better, but the nikes feel better.
