lI1|1! Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 the last time i went down was on those ballard bridge tracks. i'm normally super careful but it was raining and slick. my rain gear saved me from major road rash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crux Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Roadie in the rain and racing a deadline down the sidewalk east of the tracks between 4th Ave and the Seahawk's stadium: Where the first gravel parking adjoins at the bottom of the hill, my front wheel found the crack and stopped like a dart hitting the bullseye in an Irish pub. Despite my best post-flight efforts to pull myself together, the best I could do was walk my broken bones up the hill to Harborview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JosephH Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 '77. Was late at night, I was pretty stoned and thinking about a girlfriend to-be when the rear end of parked 1968 Shelby Ford Mustang GT500KR leapt out and ate me and my bike. I did a full summersault landing on the front windshield butt-first and went flying off the hood. I would have landed on my feet except I hadn't realized it had happened yet. Good thing it wasn't a van... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dechristo Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I did the same thing, a year later, into the back end of a full-size station wagon. I was screamin' at night downhill on a street that teed into another. Sweeping wide right to keep maximum glide-speed through the oncoming left-hand turn, I made a quickcheck to the left for oncoming headlights, then, starting the left-turn, looked right to check for merging traffic. No cars to merge with so, I looked left as I finished the turn - just in time to launch. I had to pull like a summumma-bitch on the front wheel in order to straighten the forks enough to ride home.

i_like_sun Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I can't seem to post the actual uTube video, but this is a kid I grew up riding BMX with, and he fucking rips! He's a bit of an asshole, actually, he's a major asshole, but he still knows how to ride a feaking bike! Check it out: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
