As the front tyre landed it snapped, it happened so fast, I didn't Know why I fell till I saw the broken bar. I was dirt jumping with it, and I'm right handed so I let go my left hand, all the stress should be on the right side.

how the fack are you guys snaping bars???i never even new that was possible...how easy can this happen...will the company you bought them from warrenty them???

the company wont cover it b/c its not manufacturer defects.. for the most part.

if u have crmo bars or 31.8 aluminum bars you shouldnt have anything to worry about.

I got a 25$ usd ticket for sitting in my driveway without a helmet. I had to show the judge a reciet of purchase of a helmet or pay the ticket...i wore the helmet to court and i gave her the reciept.

In the summer of 06 I broke my left ankle airing a qp. For some reason or another I took my foot off the pedal as I was landing on the tranny. I didn't even fall off my bike. I thought nothing off it, but when I went to put my foot back on the pedal it felt weird. I looked down and saw this.

My ankle was twisted back at least 90 degrees, if not more. Look closely at the pic and you'll see that my shin is facing up, but the foot it twisted. I was in the hospital for almost a week. I had surgery and still have the 6 screws and plate inside me. After almost 2 years it still hurts if I ride it too hard.

even though its a bmx thread, a crash is a crash. there are only so many ways to reinvent the wheel, right?

the result of trying to do a 360 into a foam pit. same thing as the guy with the broken ankle, put my foot out for some reason, hit the edge of the foam pit, snapped my leg, but stayed on the bike. only when everyone jumped down into the pit and crowded around me did i realize something was wrong.
