A year or so ago, there was a local street, heavily used by cyclists, that was closed down for about 6-months. One of the short-cuts required that you bunnyhop a curb. On one of my rides I mis-timed my hop (going too slow) and came down before clearing the curb. I went down but my Ti frame was undamaged. A couple of days later, one of the local women pro's did exactly the same thing and destroyed her aluminum frame. I weigh about 165 lbs.; she weighs about 100 lbs. Fortunately for both of us, no one was videotaping these escapades.
