I broke my arm whilst doing feet trials. I was at my local youth club, I had some gym mats on the stage, then when I went to sidehop the top mat slipped and I fell back on my arm. The bone snapped clean in two, and my arm 'moved'. The doc said I was lucky not to have had a compound fracture (bone come out of skin).

Here's a picture of my second cast anyway, I had 3 in total:

last week i snapped my bottom bracket. it was a onza one though so as you probably know there not that good and dont las very long. i snapped it doing a drop, it was only about 5ft high i would say. a few days before it started to creek so i new it was going to snap eventually. when you do snap it though it feels so smooth on landing, i no that might sound a bit daft but it does. i wasn't really bothered about snapping it though because i had some echo cnc cranks at home waiting to be put on when i got a isis bottom bracket so therefore i got a isis bottom bracket a couple of days later. i got the truvatic giga pipe with a 128mm axle because i am running front freewheel and it is mint, its very strong and amazing for the money. i got it off of tartybikes and i am very happy with it.

cheers lou.

tryin to go through some stuff from when i started riding about 8 years ago...

bent Easton Elite xc frame and Z2 BAMs, trashed FSA headset. stuffed my first custom bike into a tree 5 weeks after completing it after 13 months of doing a paper round to build it. nearly cried! (insurance paid out £600 for new stuff though :rolleyes: )

snapped FSA Sidewinders

bent PX downhill bars in 40mins. took back to the shop same day i bought em :P

snapped Profile DH bars

twisted axle in dmr chieftains

crack arms in DMR chieftains

bent Z1 CRs

FUNN rear DH wheel (early Halo rims, complete tripe. still got the hubshell somewhere)

SNAPPED woodman sealed headset (£80 unit, cup sheared off in frame!?)

totalled about 4 LX rear hubs (shop refused to sell me anymore)

club roost stinger frame (flaired headtube)

couple more sets of Sidewinder/PowerPro cranks and UN52 bb's

snapped Stinger Evo warranty replacement clean in half within a month (first frame i rode trials on about 6 years ago)

broke about 4 axles in rear hope xc

shattered 2 ratchet rings in hope xc

bust 2 D521s

trashed 2 X517 rims radially laced on hope mono hub

trashed F519 3X on same mono hub (7ft drop, nose dive drop, hub hit floor goin through rim. hub still going strong on a wheel now!)

3 pairs of Azonic DW bars (resulting in 1 dislocated thumb)

bent 5 pairs of V8s that i can remember

2 pairs of Club Roost 2D pedals, 1 pair of 1Ds

couple more UN52 bbs

about 6 various hs33 levers and blades

tore the bottom off a set of Fatty's with 203mm BB7 power! (pics below)

snapped another UN52 bb and broke me ankle

more recently, trashed a Mavic 121 CD rim (feel pretty guilty. them things belong in a museum!)

24Seven toaster pedals fell off the axles. can't believe how tiny the bearings are!

and probably lots of little bits and bobs i've forgotten

still riding hard, though when you get to my age (22!!!) i find you tend to break rather than bounce when you hit the floor pretty hard.

on that note, almost forgot! smashed 3 helmets, resulting in 1 KO, 2 concussions, and 1 very scary period of post traumatic amnesia! they do save lives, though i don't start the helmet debate. if you refuse to wear one, you get whats comin to you. and EVERYONE knows that.
