The noise those pins made when they came out haunts my dreams. And the unscratchable itch afterwards.
What have you broken on your bike recently?

Same to you sir
Or the old fashioned wet sponge in a bucket which preceded it.
Fairly sure this rider broke everything on his bike:
Holy fuck
Guessing some trust was broken in this one.
Pinkbike on Instagram: "Another one bites the dust on the final jump at Red Bull Hardline @lewbuchanan still put in a full quali run after this crash. You must be made of nails "I had this huge get off yesterday which I ended up blowing both my ankles out that are swollen and bruised, landed on my tail bone and was struggling to walk but I’m so thankful to have had the chance to lay down a run today and stomp everything and be in for a chance to just do a clean quali run. This was no ones fault, just one of those things and main thing is I’m still able to ride!" - Lewis Buchanan #pinkbike #mtb #mountainbiking #bikelife #hardline #downhill"

Originally I was hoping they have the very best EMTs in the UK there, but after seeing the magnitude of all that nonsense, just skip the medics and have an organ collection kit near at hand. Just...fuck..
Lol hell that's medic not emt...
Got hit by the car, ran over by it, them backed over and spit out cartwheeling...when it was almost done mother earth and gravity bitch slapped him..."BAM"

I think @jackalope is also referring to the moto-racing for seeding places and how no one was seemingly seriously injured.
Lol
The moto part was funnier than hell.
Rarely does anyone get seriously hurt doing that crap....I think it's the higher powers way of preserving man kind for the inability to think past the moment and fun...
That part looked like a blast if we are talking about the pit bikes...
Another front tire today ..broke out the tire repair kit for my truck cut the plug in half lengthwise and 2" long, used an Allen wrench to shove it into hole folded...back in business...stans sealed it and kept pump on me to keep airing up for ride but plugged when I got home.. procore is a must now.

MM 2.6? What casing?
2.35 mm gravity 28psi (last one was DH) The rocks are like razors ontop...I swear when I ride slowly you can hear what sounds like a prison yard and the rocks saying they are gonna shank that rubber....
Just got a good deal on procore so I bought the kits for both wheel sizes...
Done with flats man...figure that center tube can take a hit now and possibly take it or it'll blow apart too

It was a crap ride today anywase...figured it was fate telling me something when it popped 100 yards into climb to top on a small downhill part...
So I let stans fix it and told fate "prove it"....rode anywase little pssssst , pssssst here and there on every landing and rock pile ...add a little air and keep trucking...figured I didn't give a crap if it went flat on rocks I'll deal with it when/if it happens...
Was there to see what mounting works for my GoPro and watch suspension

How big is the hole?
The bacon strips or Stans darts work well to help plug holes.
Well let's get breaking some different shit...lol
Give it a few more rides there will be different stuff...
Let's not start getting salty now...lol
Almost.broke my ass if that counts... I crashed today went over backwards. Came in hot trail, went right left I went straight
Off a drop into high grass and rocks thought I saw some big ass rocks so I manualed as I went off figured backend could take hit it would force front down...figured I'd ride out of it...
Well no rock I wheelied out and went over backwards...bruised and scratched few swollen spots...
So evidently taking the C-clip on and off a bunch of times to revalve my shock weakened it and it failed, blowing off the reservoir cap like a shogun shell. This is at our new local bike-park.
Really shitty part is I was liking this tune quite a bit...

I broke nothing at San clemente jump lines...I did lose 1 earphone that fell hit my front tire and shot through the air to never be seen again...wrecked and lost the other one it the stupid bush that tried to eat me.
But bike survived tires survived seat survived..aside of having to straighten out seat and bars...win win..
And yeah that purse humping the top tube is why your shock blew , cause your bike was embarrassed....wanted to go home...
Sucks about shock...bummer if it was a good tune...

Negative ghostrider this wknd, but Wilsons is on the schedule the next wknd
I’m up in the north woods of Maine so no joy for me as far as the Shoe.
Also Four Loco only in my all mountain fanny satchel.
A buddy just blew up his shock.
Split the air-can at the valve and spit the valve into his leg.
Landed a small step-down. Not a big hit by any means.
Not sure if can split first ejecting the valve, or if the valve let go and the can cracked on bottom out with no supporting spring.
Anybody seen anything like this?
ps - Maybe we need what have you broken on your body recently thread?
