Lots of fun stories to read here, glad nobody gets really hurt after crashes though! =)
I haven't destroyed a lot of bikes, but I had a couple of close calls and one bent fork/frame!
The bent fork and frame I've already posted about, my stupidity led me to put my foot on the FRONT wheel when my chain slipped while going downhill. I flew over the handlebars and my front fork and both top and down tube of my frame got bent..!
On the same bike, before that crash, I was going downhill and spinning like crazy when one of my crankarms suddenly fell off.
Needless to say I freaked out, but managed to slow down abit with the other foot which was still attached to the bike, but there was an intersection coming so I rode straight into the nearest bush. Some scratches etc, but nothing serious with neither me nor the bike..
