I started BMX practice today, wrecked pretty good, what was your worst wreck? |
I been riding my bike for a few years and Im pretty nimble on it but I could never do tricks. My friends decided today I would "start my training" so I did. Well I ended up on my back in the middle of the skate park after a failed attempt at a manual down a quarter pipe . My friends said it was pretty awesome. I didnt like it too much. So the question is... what was your worst wreck on a bike? BMX or not. I bored. I want to hear some stories. Was biking off road on a hill on a tight path. I was biking with the hill, so downhill was to the right, uphill to the left. A small furry creature (a rabbit) ran across the path right in front of me. I swerved to miss it, and the right side of the handle bar clipped a tree, twisting the bike down the hill. I ejected off the bike, had a bit of a fall tumbling down through the trees with my bike following me. When I stopped and looked back, my bike was stuck in two trees, a few feet in the air right behind me.... if that thing fell on me, ouch (it's 40 lbs). It was suspended in between two trees only a foot apart... good thing I made it through those trees during the fall, or I'd be a pin cushion... Got lucky though, broken tooth, scar on the back, and the whole side of my face was torn up... no stitches needed, though! haha! My bike needed to be fixed though... oiy. I was with my friends at a church grinding a 24 rail. I had done this hundreds of times with no flaws. There was about 15-20'' to get speed and no ramp to just 3-4'' to get onto the rail. I started gaining speed and got onto rail. Got down a few stairs and got a pedal stuck in the rail. I flew 10 stairs and knocked my head against the stairs, tumbled down 8 stairs, and lie bottom of the stairs with my bike on top of me. I was rushed to the hospital. After x-rays, I had a broken skull, a broken nose, a bone in my cheek broke, 3 places in my wrist broken, and a fractured foot. I was in the hospital a week before I was let out. I soaked the casts off of my leg and wrist in my bathtub and put braces on. 3 weeks later I was on the 24 stair again. Was that a good wreck? That happened when I was 13, a year ago. P.S. The bike was not broken at all. The bikes was only scratched up and a little dented. I was riding a Haro Forum with 3-wall rims, 3-piece crank, Haro fork and bars, and Wellgo petals. And the doctor said if i had got to the hospital a minute late, I could have easily died. well first of all a manual is to be done on a wide long flat road when you are learning, I did a manual on a BMX and broke my ankle I was in a cast for a month, well first i hope you wear a helmet every time!!!!! i always do. i mt. bike and have had some nasty ones (just recently dislocated my OTHER shoulder for the first time and cracked a rib) but this one was the worst. Went down a nice downhill section that leveled a little at the bottom and came up a small lip to a washed out area so i came down the hill without enough speed and tried to clear this 8-10ft gap and cased the other side very hard, hard enough to rip me out of both clip-ins which never has happened so i had no feet to land on so my *** and nuts were the first to impact and nailed the nose of the seat (not a cushy section). so that was it and i went home pretty sore. later that night the nutsack swelled to about the size of a good sized orange and turned totally black within a day or two, stayed that way for over a week and finally started to clear up. scariest shyt of my life man, NEVER endanger your nuts man!! i thought for sure theyd just rot and fall off. i can still get a nut and they are fine now luckily!! whew, now back to blocking that accident out completely! OK, I was riding a quarterpipe ramp that my friends and I built in my backyard. I took an extremely long running start (bad move #1)I hit that ramp doing some serious speed, looking for major air, and I got it too! The ramp leaned back toward the bushrow we butted it up against when I hit it (because we didnt anchor it properly), which basically threw me at an angle. I launched like Evel Knievel did over that big canyon (you know the jump), only I went one way and my bike went another. Coming down without my bike under me after about a 6 ft air. Not the best way to come out of a big air, but....... I did get air! I was picking thorns out of my nether regions for a month! One time me and my friends were riding around a neighborhood trail and i was going full speed on what was usually a smooth trail but some kids had built a large dirt ramp along the trail and i didnt know about it. Picture this, a guy on a cruiser bike going 25 and hitting a 3 foot dirt jump not expecting it either. as i hit that thing i flew through the air about 5 feet off the ground then as i came down i bent the wheels of the bike then the wheels then locked up and flipped me off through the air right on too my back then i rolled a good 8 or 9 feet i broke my wrist and a rib |
