I know its similar to the MS Paint your mishaps thread, but lets hear about your first fall and how vividly you still remember them, or perhaps chose to forget.

I had a exciting weekend and learned to skid, never really tried prior, big deal though.

And I also had my first fall. I will now be purchasing clips/straps first thing on monday, pay attention especially when riding at night. No fuddling with ipod and 2 hands on bars at all time. I also just got my new bullhorns, so I actually want to be holding them.

Ended up with 14+ bruises, cuts, or swelling. Scrapped and swollen elbow, swollen, cut, bruised inner thigh and 2 puncture marks and bruising on side of knee from pedals with no clips and straps are the worst ones. It could be worse but after july 4th partying as well, I feel like I was in a motorcycle crash rather than going down on my bike.

Lets hear your first time.
