Has anyone taken any good falls on a bike? - Page 2 - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

this was a favorite of an uncle of mine:

A young boy was riding his bike around the block, showing off for his Mom.

On the first lap around the block he called to her, "Look Mom, no hands!"

The 2nd lap around, "Look Mom, no feet!"

And on the 3rd lap, "Look Mom, no teeth!"

:lol:

creekster, guys across country are now buckled over at their work desk with legs clenched together, thanks to you.

I recently took a friend of mine out mountain biking who just happens to be an eye surgeon. The trail we went on was not exactly a beginners trail, but there were some fairly technical spots.

So over the course of the ride he goes over his handlebars twice and he lays the bike down a total of 4 times. This is just weeks after his bro in law, who is a maxillofacial surgeon, broke both of his wrists while mountain biking in grand junction, CO.

A fairly skilled roadie, yes. Mountain biker, apparently not. The $3 million in equipment in his office says that he better stick to the pavement from now on.

I don't have great stories to share, but I did come across this in Men's Journal. Brave Soldier is a skin product and they've got a gallery of road rash. Enter... if you dare...

They should have contacted me.

One of mine took two to three months to heal.
