How Much Stuff Have You Broken?

I was just wondering how many replacements you all have made on your trials bike over the years and what is the worst crash you have had?

Jack

Broken frames: X2 (almost on a third)

Broken hubs: X3

Broken pedals: 1 snapped pedal body, many with ruined cups

Broken chains: many

Edit:

Forgot there was a freewheel that exploded as well

1 frame

11 rims 8 rear 3 front

1 crank arm

3 disc rotors

1 set of handlebars

1 set of forks

1 seat post

countless chains

2 rear mechs (not on trials bikes i may add.)

My worst crash to date was bout 6 years ago. I was downhilling on my fave spot when i came through an off camber rooty corner through an old farmers gate at quite a rate when i was confronted by a woman walking her dog. I swerved hit the brakes, smashed into a tree, flew over the bars and got tangled in a barbed wire fence!

cant remember how much stuff I have broken, its been plenty in the last 11 years I can tell you that!

Worst crash? Hmm, had a few. I have a habbit of falling on my back (did it twice today off a 5ft shed!). I think the worse was at the 05 bike show, I managed to get myself up to one of the highest points only to mess up and miss my footing and fall 10ft onto my back on my bike. But there was also the time I fell off a 9ft section at Tech 04 when my trousers caught on my pedals, I fell onto my back on a curb. But there was also the time at Koxx days when I fell off a 15ft rock onto my back.

6 chains this year since changing from stock to mod.

1 front echo cnc wheel

1 hope master cylinder

plenty of innertubes

Worst accident would have to have been when I was 13 when I rode BMX and when for a jump made of 2 rear tractor sized tyre's with a piece of plywood at either end. Then as I went for it my front wheel caught the tip of the ply on the landing and sent me front flipping under 1m with my bike aparently (I was told that part later when I came back into the real world). I was lying face down with my feet caught up in the frame and my ribs on the bars. Then 4 day's later after I had travelled from portland, dorset up to ardrishaig, Argyll for my auntie's birthday party I collapsed in my Nan's kitchen. I was then taken to hospital and for 5 hours they tried to find out what was wrong and then the Dr. pressed in the area of the spleen and they lost all signs of me being alive (so I was told by the Dr), I was then airlefted to glasgow yorkhill with a spleenetic subcapsular hematoma which would have killed me if it burst and it nearly did. So here I am today riding trials and I have promised everyone in my family that I'm never going on a BMX ever again.

Nearly everything. Bar and stem i havent broke. And for somereason i never break hubs. But now that ive said that. Im going to blow up my Profile bearings probably and snap my bars probably.

Done in a few rims, Bb's, Cranks. Things like that. Chains, Gone through loads of them.

Worst bail; Bus shelter. Chain snapped doing a gap off it. That was fun.

I blame Mcinnes though. I had made the gap nothing short of 2 minutes before, But he deleted the clip <_<

I never knew that bit of the story. Haha. That's pretty scary actually. If Mcinnes didn't happen to have deleted that clip it wouldn't have happened?

Duuuude. Lol
