Crashed my bike yesterday

Catwoman3700 · 11-27-2006, 05:50 PM

So I took my bike out and was practicing some stunts in a lot with a couple riding buddies...here's what happened: (taken from my bike forum)
Well, I had my first stunter's crash today. Got up in a full JC (and it was actually a good one this time hehe), threw up the obligatory "stick it to the man" fist, leaned a bit too far to one side, got halfway down, smack. I hit the side of my head on the pavement, let the bike go, and slid backwards on my back. Bike hit the curb and went into the grass (this was in a parking lot of course). Broke a fairing that was already cracked, but now it's in pieces! yess...., but I didn't break any levers or anything 'important'. And I was going to get a cage for stunting this winter. Eh...I guess I may be goin' nekkid! Woot!
Oh yea, I'm fine...bit of a headache, inside of one knee is ouchie, and my little foot got scraped up. I was wearing different shoes that fit much better on my seat, but they don't protect very well I found out. Doh.
And I was wearing the SAME pants I was when I crashed last time. scared.gif Into the garbage they go.
I should just keep my hands to the side...that's probably why they call it the JC and not "Stick it to the Man"

But i'm glad you are okay! I saw the title and thought the worst...

Jesus Christ! .......har har

Heidi.... you are crazy.......and have incredible balance. I can't even ride a bicycle with no hands, let alone stand up on one with a motor.

The stunt is more stable at a higher speed (within limits), so I was going about 35-40mph, staying in 2nd gear at about 6500 rpm (the bike redlines at about 15000)

you have crazy balance

Catwoman3700 · 11-27-2006, 09:39 PM

That's not actually me on the bike...it's a photo I found. But that's what it looks like. Its scary at first but crazy fun! I have opened myself up to the addictive world of stunting...you know, because riding sport bikes isn't dangerous enough for me

cougar4life · 11-27-2006, 10:08 PM

Damn thats crazy. I would say be careful but theres not really anything careful about standing up on your bike. At least you and the bike aren't hurt to bad.

Catwoman3700 · 11-27-2006, 11:52 PM

Haha thanks...yea stunting is pretty risky. I expect to fall alot more in the learning process. That's why I'm getting a cage put on this winter so I don't eff up the bike too bad. As for me, I learn to fall correctly and hope not to break anything.

It's so much fun though...seriously.
