last month i was at my girlfriends house and it looked like it was going to rain so her mother told me to hurry up home. so i left in a hurry and it started to rain. i was going around a turn 60 mph and the front end slide out and all i no is that i was doing summersaults, back flips, and sliding down the road, then i hit the gras and went into the woods. i had shorts on and a short sleeved shirt. when i got up my hole back, arm, knees, legs were road rash. my shoes flew off when i was doin flips so i had this deep ass cut in my ankle and rash. it was not a good day for me. :D

my buddy (on dirt bike) was flying around a turn at about 50mph. he hit a rock and superman'd quite a ways, that's not the funny part though. when the rode down and told me he was hurt i called 911 (they said he couldn't get up....) ambulance took him to a hospital an hour and a half away, and his nurse called later and said he had broken his back, but was going to be okay. again not funny. the funny part is we all started drinking our asses off that night, under the impression that breaking your back is a free night at the hospital. we were wrong (all he broke was the wings on four of his vertebrae, apparently not so serious), they released him very soon after he got there, but we were too drunk to come get him. finally he gets a ride and since we didn't bring him home he had his cute little blue paper gown on still. we thought it was pretty funny, but yeah, he was pretty mad. we nicknamed him "wings"

One morning before class I was going to pull my bike out from the garage and park it by my front door so I could just hop on and ride to class. I lived in an apartment and my garage was about 40 feet from my door. As I pulled out i decided to take a quick lap around the apartment complex. As I rode around the complex (with no gear on what so ever) I had noticed these girls up on the balcony of a neighboring apartment. I felt like a hot shot so i decided to put up a quick wheelie for them. The first one I pulled off nicely but thought it was'nt good enough. I went back to do another. Again I pulled it off but felt like I could do better. By this time my roommates walked outside and were standing on the curb by the dumpster. As I pulled my final wheelie it came up great and I took it to about 12 o'clock. I misjudged the distance it would take to stop, brought it down HARD and locked 'em up. It slid out from under me and my bike and I went sliding into the CURB where my roommate had been standing. They say the bike slid into the curb, flipped into the air, and the rear tire was high enough to break the fixture off the top of a 10' light pole. Then came down into the rocks on the opposite side and slammed into the side of the apartment building. I on the other hand went sliding into the curb with my left knee first, caught air from the curb and my body basically close-lined my roommate. He broke my final landing but got hurt in the process. After all is said and done, My left knee has a torn ligament and severe bruising. Road rash from head to toe, and a missing right shoe. The bike has about $4000 worth of damages. AND I get to pay for the chunk missing from the curb, The light pole and fixture, and the wall of the apartment building where the bike had crashed into. To this day I won't even ride a few feet without my gear. As stupid as I am I'm still stunting. It's the same bike to this day.

I would hope you don't ride without gear anymore. You probably would have walked away pretty clean had you been wearing some. Glad to see your still hear to tell your story.

ImPo Skyline. Did you at least get some phone numbers from the girls that watched your rocket air jordan a light pole?

Right, I've actually managed to throw myself down the road 4 times, with 3 of them really not worth mentioning so I will tell you first and best.

When I was nee more than a snotty youth of around 17 I bought myself a Kawasaki KR1-S (250CC, 135kg - dangerous fun!). Summer was upon us so I thought a sicky should be pulled and so I went off to join my mates for a day at the beach.
On the way home a women in front of me went to overtake a cyclist on a blind crest and being knieve I followed her rather too closely. A car came the other way, she slammed the brakes on and so did I but ended up ploughing staright into the back of her car at around 30 (although she had probs only slowed to around 20mph at this time). Did a full front flip with my lid never touching the ground and actually landed with time to see the bike finish it's unmanned stoppy!
Oddly, the first thing I asked was for one of my mates (5 of which were in the car behind me) to turn off the ignition as the battery was running flat - it didn't matter that the front end of my bike had gone!
I managed to dent the tank with my crotch and very luckily walked away scot free. Fortunate considering the ambulance took 45 minutes to get to me.

Ironically the only reason I hit her was because I thought the cyclist was my grandad and so I was looking at him. Turned out he was on holiday at the time.
Suffice to say I haven't made that mistake twice!!

While traveling down the highway on the way to the Carlisle, PA bike show...Now It's me and 4 friends (5 bikes total) you would assume we took up more than enough space to be seen. WRONG. Some 17 year old punk driving his daddies Escalade decided to have a conversations with my rectum he rear ended two bikes simultaneously thats how quick he came up. I dont remember any more of our accident. Skingrafts, two broken ribs, Mild Concussion, and one toe that had to be re-attached. I HATE SUV's.
