50/50 into a nothing!
So... there I was, testing out my new handbrake (damn that thing works a treat). I had my highchairs, spreaders and 50/50 going way further than I had before. I did my best ever rolling highchair stoopie today and I even did my first ever flamingos too!!!! And was amazed how good they felt
THEN
I'm up in a 50/50 and KAAAASMASH!!!
When I was on the ground, wondering where my other shoe was and bits of my skin, I realised that I must have nudged my kill switch with my right leg and as the bike shut off I was just riding the back brake. It came down super hard and I flew over the bars and was runover by the bike.
I think my left ankle is sprined and a right toe is broken, not to mention all of the cuts and bruises elsewhere, but the strangest thing is... I can't wait to get back on the bike to do it all again. Hmm, I think I'm addicted to stunting

As soon as I feel better, I'll be booking a re-match!!!

Re: 50/50 into a nothing!
Man that sucks the big one Box, i remember reading another post about that a little while ago somewhere. There were only a few responses to it but some of the suggestions weren't to bad i guess???
1) Loosen the switch mech and spin it around a bit on your bars so its not as easy to bump in future.
2) Install a saftey cut out switch, (there like the flip and switch airplane ones) i cant really see that as a good suggestion but
3) One guy had a mesh cover over the top but it had the back cut out so you could still get your fingers/thumb under it to hit the switch, he also showed a couple of pics of that as well. I'll try and find the post and see if there still there?

Re: 50/50 into a nothing!
Damn dude sorry to hear. You got a good attitude about it though. Is there much to fix on the bike??
Yeah I've had a few close calls on my bike since it's had it's fairing stripped and it's also the reason I decided to go back to fairing instead of making a fighter. The front fairing keeps your feet away from all those nasty things.
I've recently hit the kill switch by accident aswell as the brake. Coming down from one 50/50 my front foot hit the wheel and gripped and nearly threw me off the bike ( got it on video!) cos I'm also riding round with no front guard at the moment.
