Re: whats the worst crash you have had on a bike
mine was a 95mph wreck on a corner while i was drunk...
long straight away with about a 90degree corner at the end, forgot the corner was there, leaned in, back wheel hit gravel, rest is history....
few broken ribs, lots of road rash, you could seriously see my knee cap.. pretty gross but could have been a lot worse

Re: whats the worst crash you have had on a bike
I was hit stoppies hard on the f4i. I came in hot about 65 mph. My brake line kinked as soon as I grabed the brake the bike shot up into the air about 10 feet and me in front of it. I saw it coming for me and bam it slamed into me. I got drug for about 50 feet then the bike deside to tumbl off of me. I got preaty fucked up Broken wrist, 5 broken ribes, left knee down to the bone, fractured color bone, left arm had saver road rash, saver concution I had to go on pills for it. Needless to say I still love stoppies but I have a certin respect for them. They still scare the hell out of me.

Re: whats the worst crash you have had on a bike
Flipped a stoppie last January, got an awesome list of injuries from it:
Broke my jaw in 2 places, had it wired shut for 6 weeks
Ruptured ear drum, couldnt hear from the left side for a couple months, but its back now
Broke my hand, and it still hurts
Cracked 2 teeth, one right in the front
Bit through my lip, needed stitches inside and out, i have a permanent fat lip
My helmet strap tore my chin open, 6 more stitches
Did something to my knee where i couldnt walk right for a couple days. Not sure what, hospital didnt see anything, it was fine after a couple weeks
And when the bike landed on me, I got some 'jacket rash' on my back.
I was wearing full gear thank god. Im still afraid to go back to stoppies, even little ones

Re: whats the worst crash you have had on a bike
Foot slid off the peg mid-wheelie as I was coming through some sand in the lot. As I was falling off, I pinned the throttle trying to hold on. Tire broke loose, then caught traction and highsided me into a curb. Broke 2 bones in my wrist and rotated 2 of the other bones 90degrees out of position. When I went to take my shirt off I realized that I seperated my shoulder too.
Got a screw and a couple pins in the wrist. That was almost a year ago and its still hurts with minimal range of motion. I didnt want them to operate on my shoulder, so Im stuck with the lump sticking out of the top.

Re: whats the worst crash you have had on a bike
wheelie gone bad sat it down into a tankslapper then into a curb .... rolled a couple times with it .. handle bar went through my face sheild & broke some teeth my nose & ripped open my lip .. pegs went through my knee & ankle .. broke my arm in half needed plates screws & pins (still doesnt work right) bike landed on top of me & my back was on a curb ( hit two curbs while rolling) it cracked my spine in my lower back ( still deal with a lot of pain) & both my scapulas were broke in half .... really bad wreck !!! I also had road rash every where & oil /gas from the bike went all over me !! burned & ended up causing a major infection that I had to get rid of before I could have surgery to fix everything ... so I spent three weeks with all my broken bones but couldnt fix um till I got the infection under control .... IT WAS BAD!! if you have ever been in so much pain that you couldnt **** right or even wipe your own *** then you might know where I was at ....
that was my worse but I got two other good ones ....
1. compound fractured my coller bone !! ( thats really bad)
2. torn ACL & broken knee ( the longst recovery time )

Re: whats the worst crash you have had on a bike
When I was 16 I was still rocking the hell out of my Iron Horse ARS Comp aluminum BMX bike, we used to have bunny-hop comps in front of my house, we'd start out jumping over a skate board, then we'd turn it on edge, clear that, then stack them 2-3-4 high, keep doing it till be cleared them, then we graduate to things like recycle bins and residential garbage dumpsters laying on their sides and bicycles flipped upside down. I think it was the first time I tried to clear the recycle bin I popped up a fraction too late and the back wheel caught, put me into a nose dive and I went over the bars onto the road. Thankfully I had reflexes like a cat and I got my arms up to protect my head and I walked away.... It could have been bad!

Re: whats the worst crash you have had on a bike
I've had a few interesting ones... Lowsided on some dirt, lb yarnell hill. stayed on top of the bike, slid into a mountain. bike hit wheels first and stood up, putting me head first into it. Knocked myself out and cracked my helmet, leaving a 56 mile ride in an ambo to the closest hospital.
Was "test riding" my rm after getting back from the shop. No helmet *sighs*... Was rolling through a corner with a Berm on the outside and a ditch outside that. Hit a big rock and the bike goes airborn, front wheel hits the berm and pitches me face first into the ditch. The bike comes in right after and lands square on top of me. Got rash down my face and back... Went to Mexico the next day and dove into the ocean... That wasn't my brightest moment.
One thing about riding dirt before ever touching the street is that it teaches you that there is a definite art to doing down and not getting hurt... Which I think is why i've walked away from *most* of my crashes

Re: whats the worst crash you have had on a bike
so far i have been riding for 13 years and been rediculously lucky. only had scrapes and bruises. never broke anything. worst crash was carving corners through the woods on my gixxer in belfair washington. was scraping peg and couldnt lean over any more, was going just way too fast. had no choice but to get on the brakes and slow down. thats when the rear tire locked up and high sided me. bout 40 mph around this rediculous sharp death curve that says 25 but is more like 15. that thing went from being gorgeous and minty without a scratch with a fresh yoshi pipe i put on THAT DAY to being crunchy as ****.
