ok, coming back from a biking trip me and a friend had ours bikes on a trunk rack, well we had to cut the ride short because of a really bad thunderstorm. so we camped out at his granparents house till it was over...

when we finally left there was a huge tree down in our way, well he drives a little geo metro, so we barely fit around the tree and about half way round we saw a powerline go up the windshield, tap across the roof, and hook our bikes....

well he kept driving and our bikes got ripped off the back. we pull over and get out of the car (its still raining out) and walk slowly twards our bikes, see the powerline about ten feet away from the bikes so we run and grab the bikes by the tires and run! we eventually made it home safe, and really wet.

You'll always hurt yourself more on the stuff you're familiar with. On new stuff, you pay a lot more attention. When you're on your regular stomping grounds, you tend to do things a lot more by memory than what you see.

Back in the days of having gears, I was doing a wheelie down the sidewalk. My back tire slipped off the sidewalk and got jammed up in a crack. As the front end came down, I locked the front brake and sent myself over the bars. I ended up with a nasty cut on my knee and of course there were plenty of people around to see the whole thing.

Another good/stupid one, I was going down a hill by the river. It had just rained but I had done the little drop a hundred times before. After coming off the small drop and trying to turn, my back tire washed out and I ended up doing a 10 foot slide through the mud and on to the sidewalk.

actually the dumbest think ive ever done is try to hitch up to the top of our local trails by holding on to my friends arm who was in a honda crv ... he had to shit and we were going almost 50 .... i lost my balance because the car bucked, flipped over and my bike hit the side of his suv ... it caused almost 1g of damage and i almost died ... so remember kids, dont be dumb like me

i was peddeling down the road as fast as i could when my stem got loose and my handle bars slid to one side. i went over the handle bars face first into the pavement and was knocked out for 4mins. i woke up to the head lights of my dads car cause my buddy went to my house to get him. my entire face was road rash and i had to get a bar put on the inside of my teeth to hold them in my mouth. always check your bike over before you ride and wear a helmet. it would have helped me and i wont make that mistake again
