JawD 99 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Just got my cylcing proficiency thing at school (early 80's) and decided to peg it down westgate hill. Got a flatty half way down when I tried to break. Back wheel locked up and I had a bald bit of tire. Buckled the rim to hell. Never fell off, never hit nowt and nowt hit me. But by fuck did I crap myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD 99 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Actually, canny one on my bmx. I had them wingnuts on the front wheel and they must have been loose. Was riding back along Links Walk from West Denton shops towards Westerhope. Went down a subway (under Linope road), done a wheelie out the other side and seen my front wheel fuck off in front of me. Next thing I know I'm face down on the concrete and look like a pretzel wrapped around a bike. Arms and legs all over. Mate was pissing himself laughing at me. Blood dripping on the floor and I was feeling all over my face but couldnt feel any cut etc. I'd actually cut my chin open. Went home and me Dad bollocked me as he'd had a few cans and thought I needed stitched did as it happened, butterly ones at the General and they stung like hell. Still got the scar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been there, quite an interesting feeling seeing your front wheel make it's way into the world on it's own, managed to bring it to a stop on my forks, didn't do them much good though.

Anyone any similar memories/ Remember cycling down Rosehill Bank for the first time, went a lot faster than I thought I would, was cursing my mate who persuaded me to go along with him when he went fishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
