tryed some trail near my house on a connandale f 600 the one with the shitty head shock havent rode that bike since because i ended up in the er with a bloody face and almost lost an eye
Hit a jump that was pretty tame and a small step up without checking the landing. (I was young and stupid!) it was tame so you could hit it with speed but where I landed was so soft I stuck into it like a lawn dart and flwe over the bars. Looked up in time to get my hands up as my bike came falling out of the sky over my head.
I remember before I started biking seriously, and I was still on my 500 pound Walmart fully, I decided to build a lip off this little drop thing. It was only about 3 or 4 feet high, and I built the lip small, but it was so steep of a lip, that it was more like riding into a wall, but I didn't ride it as a test run, and I got as much speed as I possibly could, and hit it. It was realy jerky, and I flipped forwards and landed on my front wheel, still moving fast. When my back wheel hit the ground (rather roughly) I had to turn quickly to not hit the fence, but my handlebars got cuaght in it because it was chainlink. The bike turned suddenly, and I flew backwards, and my... lower regions... got crunched in between the wheel and the seat. And I fell on the ground. That was pain at its worst. We named the drop "GRINDER"
first month with my new dh bike. Thinking im all good we built this drop with an endless landing pretty much. We built the dropper higher and higher. Got to about 25 feet. our drop is on and up slope now theres 10 feet to pedal then drop. Im going up the drop type jump now and i know im goin to slow but i kept going anyway. My back wheel got hung on the edge of the drop and i ate shit
and i was going right fast and knew it but hit it anyways and landed flat. I slid on my back tire on my balls for like 3 secounds and then fell to the ground in pain.
Bike related or non bike related. on bikes im not sure but i have done a few stupid things,such as putting an apple pip in my ear when i was like 6 or 7 and i had to go to hospital to get it syringed out, got one of those free internet cd's stuck on my finger (it must have been on for about 1-2 hours) when i was about 8 and i once ran over my dad's car when free running first came out when i was about 11-12 ish
