Non-biking: I was at a busy grocery store and had just dropped off the groceries in the car. I ran the grocery cart up to the store with my GF watching. I hit a 1/2" high curb and the cart stopped instantly. I didn't. I flipped over the cart in front of a bunch of people coming out of the store. My GF was laughing her fool head off. I did eventually marry her. Who else would marry me?
If we're doing non biking now...
Back in the day, I was teaching myself to roller skate, I used to fall on my butt all the time. My solution? Tape a pillow to my butt.
back to biking:
when I was younger I used to love poppin wheelies. I got carried away though, and popped one so high that I flipped the bike over and landed on my back, and somehow took all the skin off one of my elbows.
