I exploded a double track because I forgot to tight some of the spokes before doing a 5' drop to flat, it was really loud! I also have a totaled sherman breakout, because some idiot tried to do something(unclear what) to it by placing ~5 washers in each lower! They weren't even the right size and now it has to be rebuilt.

buddy did same thing, but wheel was true!!!, he no longer rides double tracks, it sounded like a shotgun going off, he cracked it along the seam..it was just a little 15ft double and a BAD case..i once went off a little 8 foot drop and someone put a rock in the tranny, i nose cased the rock and totalled my brake lever on my avid carbon, had to replace it..i HATE kids who ruin jumps for fun

I sheared the headtube off of a 2005 Kona Stinky. I also had a DHX 3.0 explode into 2 peices while I preloaded the spring. Other than that, I seem to be good at breaking rear hubs, specifically, mid range shimano's.

The rmx, I went off of a jump and was way too far back so I kinda did the opposite of an endo and landed Right on the Rear tire with the front Pretty much straight up, Bruised the hell outta my tailbone, Luckily no broken anything...excepth the frame, It kinda did a super pogo Jump after the impact and a couople of flips and In the End .. brocken pivot on the Drive side.

motocross guys refer to that as a boner air!
