The only time I ever wiped out last winter (my first winter riding a bike) was when I tried to lock up my rear wheel and do a sideways skid to throw a bunch of snow on a cow-orker. I succeeded in throwing snow, but I also ate quite a bit of it myself, and I was really scooting along. Nothing damaged at all, and my cow-orker thought it was intentional. Others who saw it thought it was awesome. I thought it was awesome that my laptop didn't get broken in the fall.
Regardless, it was probably the funnest 5 seconds of last winter.
