Post your crashes, no shame here.

I am not ashamed to post my first crash.....after having my gopro2 for less than 24 hours. I sprained my middle finger on my right hand which is problem some considering I teach/play guitar for a living. The camera doesn't capture the height of the fall, but these are big chunky rocks I'm falling from and I ride a 29er. I probably had a good 8-10 ft for my head to go to hit the ground. I scratched my lens already but thank god the replacements are dirt cheap.

Yep it was dumb and its easy to rewatch it and see why I fell. It looks mild on video, but here's a picture of it with out moving.

Nice crash dude!!! i did something similar but didn't have the cam going at the time..

REALLY wish i had as some how I got right foot stuck between the frame and the front tire and left foot twisted around so I couldn't unclip... I was laughing cause I couldn't get out with out butt walking off to the side of the rocks so i could untwist the bike.. would have been an AWESOME funny vid

That used to be my bike but sold it to my cousin after my Yeti was finished. It was a large frame bike which I thought was my size but I found a medium was more my fit. I don't know how often he rides so not sure if/when he plans to customize the bike for his fit.

That looked painful.

I broke my middle finger....and I play guitar for a living. There's videos of me playing guitar on my channel too. Fortunately it's on my right hand and I don't finger pick much so I'm in the clear.

I can easily take over this forum with my crash videos, but here is a favorite of mine:

If you look closely, there is a small board on the stump I was trying to jump. I had done it a few times before, but this time it moved.

I've NEVER seen anyone "drop a step-down" SEATED.(Greg D.)
maybe I'm doing it wrong.

Not sure what you mean?

The picture makes the section look a lot harder than the video.

Great thread idea!

Here's one of my recent OTB experiences. I was riding "up on the bars" for a split-second, and thought maybe I could somehow save it....nope!
