When I was about 15, my 14yr old brother decided to play around with my bike a bit, I didn't know until I went down to the local trails, jumped the first section as usual, only to see my front wheel disappearing off down the trail without me. (he'd undone my skewer)
And then there was pain, yeah I remember... pain, and blood, lots of blood, as I'd used one palm as a brake and promptly lost half the skin on it.
Little bastard.
