What has been ur worse fall...?


I just wanna hear peoples stories on their falls. I personally have fallen off my pocket bike twice in the same day. The 2nd time i took it out for a spin it started wobbling and i fell, scraped my knee, bled like crazy but i didnt care. I got back on it and just went full throttle off the whole it started wobbling again, i let go balanced and it started again and i hit a bump and i skidded across the street. I ended up having no skin on a part of my right hand, having scrapes on my arms, fingers, and legs. Then i go and kick it cuz i was mad and unfortunately my toe swelled up and looked like a hotdog lol. I come to find out my rear axle was bent so maybe that's y i fell. Just last week riding a goped i flew off cuz i braked too hard and landed on the same hand and scraped the skin right back off.

Re: What has been ur worse fall...?

It doesn't matter if your going only full throttle for only a little while you still need protection...

I agree 100%

As for my worst crash (on a pocketbike anyways) I was riding in a parking lot during practice and highsided. Hit the back of my head and knocked myself out. Thank God I was wearing a helmet!

Re: What has been ur worse fall...?

it wasnt me that fell it was my girlfriend lol she was riding my pw50 dirtbike for like the second time ever... and she fell because she mistaked the throttle for the brakes...(shes blonde) she screamed and jumped off the the back and fell scraped up her knee pretty badly it was funny bcuz the thottle stuck on the dirtbike and it rode by itself for a good 150 yards before jumping the curb at like 20mph and flipping twice...it was funny... she felt a lil dumb... then i fell while going a pretty long wheelie on my x18 cuz o popped the clutch too hard trying to shift from 2nd to 3rd.... we both ended up in pain that day and my left plastic didnt look to good to eiher

Re: What has been ur worse fall...?

i did a wheelie on my x6 which sux cuz its an automatic (one speed) i pulled back too hard and looped out i tried to let go but was too late with my descision....i road burned my ribs shoulders elbows and knees...it was hard to breath for a while, i'm cool now....my wrist still hurts abit too...i learned an important beginners lesson....ALWAYS GEAR UP....it only took a second but the whole wreck seemed to last fer a while (all matrix style)...i was at full throttle (around 45) and was not wearing a helmet...i'm such an idiot. i was lucky as hell i didn't crack my head wide open...i'll never ride like that again. so while i recover, i'm shoping for a helmet and full leathers...like i said never again

Re: What has been ur worse fall...?

Just the other day I was racing at this safety council thing, and I was doing around the track and my chain fell off, so I brought it back in and fixed it and the I forgot to re-aline my rear tire and I was going into a conor at a pretty good speed. Then my chain came off nad rapped around my rear tire which my bike stopped and I flew forward and i had no protection at all.

Re: What has been ur worse fall...?

next time wear some gloves because your hands are one of the worst places to scrap up. wear long pants a jacket a helmet and some gloves and you wont had to deal wit bloody knees and hands

Re: What has been ur worse fall...?

I have a gas skateboard (free from neighbor from ebay) and was going full speed and fell. its only one wheel drive so if you let off the throttle to fast its wobbles REAL bad. well thats what i did at full speed. let off the throttle to fast wobbled and fell. road rash all up the right side of body and my leg dident feel right lol. i was in shorts and short shirt with a helmet but thats it. bent the axle on the skateboard. since then i have never toped it out. even if i had more protection i wouldent. scares the crap out of me now after that. i have a tendensey to break bones easily so after crap like that i lay off of it for a while.
