I wasn't much of a rider BITD, somethings never change, so not many big crash stories to relate, but some good stories I think none the less:
Small table top jump with tyres piled up to jump over Wayne Brooks lands flat on his MKII Super Tuff snapped
the chain stays away from the bottom bracket, think he hurt is nuts too.
Same jump, there seems to be some confusion who it was, I think it was James Greetan, my mate Wayne says
it wasn't, it was someone else, the memory is cloudy, but the clear bit:
Compund fracture of leg, bone sticking out of trousers. Seemed to take ages (remember when we didn't have cell phones) for someone to ride to his house (on a bmx, not fast) and get his folks, then they drove down to see him, then one of them drove off to phone an ambulance, which took ages to arrive, have to come about 8 miles. poor chap, squealed like a pig.
BMX gang, me and three mates, up to Walton woods to find the roman baths, they are underneat a much later round building. Anyway, dumped bikes in a pile,. wandered off looking. after about an hour found the baths just up from where we left the bikes. Got bored returned to bikes to find them gone. But not far, followed the tyre
tracks in hthe mud, they'd been moved a hundred yards up the track. Recover bikes, see dogs, here chap shout
oy this is private property, pedal like mad, here the shotgun, he wasn't shooting at his he fired in the air, but it
made one of my mates lose control and crash, I turned to see him fall over just after the shot, and you can imagine
what I thought. anyway he got up, we got away clean...well, we needed clean pants.
my best ever jump, 4 barrels lay on their side on a mki burner. five barrells saw me eat dirt big time.
