i've been real fortunate that i haven't had any real bad crashes. i taco'd my front wheel going off a step down while off balance. broke the arch on my fork going off a step-up and hitting a tree upon landing, but i think my worst crash was off this long flat kicker we built up - threw you out instead of up. the tranny was sort of off cambre and was kind of soft.

i thought i'd boost it and see how much distance i could get so i hit it with a bit more speed than usual. when i landed my front tire washed out towards the right and i came down hard on my left shoulder. when i hit the ground my head snapped down, smashing my left cheek to the ground and knocking my helmet sideways. i got up, winded, left shoulder hanging down all ********. it was first time i had to just sit down for a good 30 secs and wait for my senses to come back. after shaking it off and dusting the dirt off myself, i picked up my bike and went home. i guess my pride was hurt more than my body on that one... haha
