Sternum to concrete floor, aged 16, trying to impress girls with trial rear-wheel bunny hops on my mountain bike. The pain in my rear end went after a week, the hole in my dignity has never healed, and the experience presumably affected my ability to form meaning relationships with females, hence what I'm doing on this forum instead of having a blazing row down B&Q on a Sunday afternoon...

A galvanising experience for a young man, best crash ever.

...not a patch on the Alma underpass mind.

Are you using the latest build?

^i think it was a bad joke.

I don't do geek jokes on weekends, sorry.

yay! I finally have a favourite crash.
Me + polo+ wall+ back wheel of bike.
yay!

I just crashed into chair, braking it in half, while track-standing, playing on devil may cry 4. I really, really, hope evans give me a job soon.

Somehow I managed to get my stem loose enough to swing the opposite way of my wheel as I was coming to a stop, and over I went. Damage: Face, arms, tummy, left leg elbow, ripped shirt. Result: Two black eyes, road rash on my face, arms and leg....and a new shirt.

single track trned to harsh stairs ,no brakes, death in the air ,leg hit banister (see below) buckled wheel lucky!

That bruise is beautiful, it looks like a sunrise over a purple lagoon.

Wednesday, trackstanding, bullhorns. Loose stem head bolt. Went to move off, bars dropped. Ok, I thought - went to grab brake. Hands slip off bar as TT lever came out of bar. Bar tape slides off, leaving me pedalling furiously as I head over the bars, first in the line of traffic.

smooth!

never had a big crash. but sometime in may i was riding down this side street near my school and i could see all the track people going around the track. and there's this stupid, small, but high speed bump that i tried to go around but i guess i hit the sidewalk and fell kinda hard. all the people (some) saw it. oh well

This is also my favourite crash.

I was 10 years old and about to meet a girl for my first ever date. I had a new green Shwinn 10 speed. I even put on a shirt and tie! Just as I saw her across the street a cop pulled me over to give me a ticket for riding on the wrong side of the road, When I tried to stop I managed to use the front brake only and did a flying flip arse over tits over the handlebars! I landed on my feet with the bike behind me and still holding on to the bars, Girl watching and laughing the whole time. The cop still gave me the ticket.

I like to think so - it takes a lot of effort to stack in such an embarrassing fashion. I hope the people in the queue behind me who didn't even bother to check I was ok weren't too put out by the incident.

Describe your favourite crash
Mine's a septic with literacy issues...

Drinking with Murtle all day on the first lgfg drinks session (just me and murtle) riding home, distracted by a billboard and rode into a curb. Got back home to wait for my girlfriend to get home, we were going out for dinner but we had to get a take away due to the state of my face.

Thought she'd have got used to it by now...

very etertaining

About a year ago tried jumping off my single speed to see how far it would go by itself (smart aint it...)and i catch my leg between the rear wheel and the seat tube and the chain rips the skin of my leg. Alot of blood and admitted into hospital for 3 days because of blood poisoning from greasy chain.
