Mountain Biking - Bad bail pics (yourself or others)

Ok, well one time I went off a jump down a hill over a ditch thing in my yard and the front wheel got stuck and I flew foreward and hit pretty hard on the ground. I slid about 5 feet with the bike on top of me. I had made it maybe 3 times before that. Yes, I know I'm not wearing a helmet, I'm sorry, I'm a bad person. Yes i know that isnt a bike that I should have been jumping on, my ways have changed, I no longer do stupid things like that. That was back in my "Hey SWEET JUMPZ MAN" days.

That was one of the ones I made it on.

That was the fall.

haha thats great!

looks like the sweet jump shifted out of place.

Yeah, actually the surface of it broke and my wheel got stuck in it. This tumbled me inot a sumersault and i got screwed over.

Nice!

Here's mine - - Me: roll to drop to face. :o

Im never in front of a camera when I bail or do something stupid like ride into a tree.

The one you guys had as an avatar? That was a great pic.

Here's a picture just after I fell off the wooden crossing. Not a very dramatic pic but it hurt a lot.

The kid in the last pic looks like he just dropped a log...

That is soooo gonna hurt

Looks like he just wants to take a dip to me. That is the funniest shot though.

Is that water or a drop. I thought at first it was a cliff edge but now that you mention it....I guess it is water.

well after those pics above, it's not worth posting mine

Trust me dude, we all want to see it again :)

That is such a great shot, MX. The video is a hoot to watch, too.

Ummmmmm....I think you were Way SHORT ......LoL

MX :lol:

I bet when you went off that jump you were thinking "damn this is easy". Then you didn't quite make it..

MX :lol:

You should watch the video on his Myspace. Listen for the funky "sproing!"

Love the hand dusting at the end :)

oops.

MX :lol:

Looks like you would have completely TACO'd your wheel.

Everyone needs to auger off that drop in Sedona. Lee did right after I snapped this:




The upper ones leading into it went smoothely. My rear tire blew out upon landing; I think i'd have had it cleanly otherwise.

Or maybe not.

That's a good reason.

Lee is the best camera fodder that I've ever ridden with. He is blind in one eye and doesn't have any depth perception. Coupled with a Shore attitude of "yeah, I'll try it" his blind fearlessness leads to some great wrecks.

The shots I've seen of him (and by him) have always impressed me. I know a few riders with some vision problems who can school me big time on the trail; very cool to see, and humbling as well.

Nothing to be embarrassed at! nice vid, and thanks for the post!:beer:

And I thought Bike Forums was getting boring.. this thread is great! I wish someone had pictures of me bailing..

Finally got to ride down there last year. Wasn't too troublesome, but I can't imagine myself trying the Huffyboy way.

I like your porsche vids, but its a shame to see all those ferrari owners who can't drive worth a 5hit..

"Video Leeching has Ended" What section is this video filed under on your page?

my first mtb jump. i guess i am so use to having an engine between my legs :DHaha! Finally was able to watch the vid. I know what you mean about jumping bikes; I got myself in all kinds of odd, scary stuff at first without a throttle set things right.

Pete, that was your shot of the endo-to-water? I remember that being a caption contest pict a couple or three years ago on MTBR.
