Lizdc got her post in before mine. Lizdc sez that after every wheelie she jumps headfirst over her handlebars ON PURPOSE!!

So now we have two HD riders that have jumped with intent...one to save his life when he was a small child and the other a full grown woman...the kind you want to have at your next party.

Once, a long long time ago, my bike caught alight and was on fire and I had to jump off it before it had stopped, but, not onto my head and landed on my feet.

Threw sand on to the fire and put it out, turns out the fuel line was leaking onto the engine and ignited.

Does this count ?

Default It counts if...

It counts if you went headfirst with intent and it sounds like you did...dunno about over the handlebars though like Carpetride and Lisdc. I think urs is close enough though...

I can't rate Carpetride at the top 'cause he was tryin' to save his own life and that's pretty sane. Lisdc is at the top right now since she rates the craziest in my book.....in there with Evil Kinevil.

We used to call it "going out the front door". We were riding or mx bikes around a track one time, my buddies front brake cable was missing the little plastic guide that keeps it straight. Well he was going basically wide open, the forks were doin their job movin to the stops up and down, then the cable looped over the top of the fork leg. Guess what happened. Human torpedo, out the front door. He hurt himself on that one.
