Crashes aren't funny when they've just happened, mostly....but often you can look back on a crash and laugh about it. Even if it's just because you got away with it, when you shouldn't have.
Sharing a laugh about it helps you get over it too, after all...we've all been embarrassed!
Let's hear your funniest and most amazing stories, from learning, to dirt or road...whatever...:thumbup
I'll get the ball rolling, since I've had dozens of stacks...many of them funny.
When I was about 11 I was showing off to my mates on a Suzuki T100 dirt bike.
No helmet or gloves....jeans, sneakers and a t-shirt.:flex:
I rode through a dry dam and up the other side, and tried to jump the road that made up the dam wall.
I had no plans further than getting big air, and being a hero. (Think Seth Enslow style, but 1992.:lol).
It turns out the road was about two foot wider than physics would allow a 35kg rider on a 100kg bike doing 30kph to cross.
The front wheel hit the face of the 4x4 wheel rut, on the far side of the road....the bike launched me over the bars and into the air, what seemed like 10 storeys up.
The valley continued down on the other side of the dam wall, and there was a stack of cut down trees, built up at the walls base.
Rather than drop from parachute height onto a pile of hard old spiky logs, I dropped into a comfy pillow of ferns, just beyond the timber.
The bike did a single somersault and landed half cranked, on its wheels, before washing the front wheel out and ploughing into the logs.
I picked myself up unhurt, much to the amazement and cheers of my mates!
I dragged the bike down off the top of the logs and stood there...shaking, laughing and crying, and panicking that I'd damaged the bike!
We banged the bars straight, and kept on riding...and it wasn't till years later I thought about how it could of been all over before it started!
I still cop shit about blindly flying into situations (trees:shake), with little thought of the consequences.
Meh...you only live once right? :lol
What have you got?...

Well that's what I did, and the bike (ZX6-E), spun on its side like a top. :2bitchsla I then learned you can cover a lot up with vinyl graphics.
