1: Tried a front flip off a little kicker when I was like 11 on a cheap ass walmart bike, I did half of it. tup

2: Went to go off like a 10ft high concrete thing behind the bleachers at my old school (my first attemt of a drop), pussied out right at the end but didn't slow down fast enough and just sorta fell over my handlebars and landed face first into the asphalt, one whole side of my face was raw Two-Face (like that); it's a bitch when you can't eat without tearing the the scab on the side of your face. I later found out after I tried it again that if I would have just kept going I would've made it the first time. Facepalm

went biking in the pooring rain a few years ago when I first started MTB'ing. was ok until it started raining harder, couldn't see and biked straight into a pole. hit my knee hard and in a minute it swelled up A LOT and was a painfull bike ride home. also wasn't fun walking around at school.. my knee was purple for a week or more. I never bike in the rain.. just that one time, haha

The other day I was riding home with a mate from a day out, I slackened off my brake as it was rubbing on the rotor and making the ride very slow.
Then we started getting followed by these two kids on bikes and I felt the urge to show off a good ol' manual.
So I stopped, quickly moved my pads in so my brake worked (but obviously it didn't work enough), started doing a long manual then it went too high, pulled my brake and it didn't work as well as usual due to the quick set-up and I started to fall off sideways and my thigh caught on my tyre and got pulled under my seat.
My wheel is slammed so it rather hurt having my thigh pulled into a 2" gapMadder

Also took a run-up to a jump to show off infront of some Jehovis wittnesses that were walking round where I live but as I went round a corner to the straight towards the jump my pedal caught on the ground.
Kind of did a nose manual and smashed my knee on my bars.
Felt like a right twatEvil

I think I would hurt myself faaaaaaaaaar less if I stopped trying to show offlol
