I built a bike one time out of spare parts lying around in my parents back yard when i was like 15. Made a mountain bike. It was chrome and was freaking sweet when I was done. It was my greatest acomplishment (besides putting dual carbs on a 3.5 hp lawn mower motor and gutting out the combustion chamber with a hammer and chizel and mowing down 5 foot tall grass. It spit fire out the exuast hehe) Well i washed up all the grease from building it and after showing my freinds and family I went to take it for a test ride. The local skate boarders had just set up a ramp outside my house and this was a perfect durability test. Rode off in the distance for about half a football feild and rode myy ass off and hit the jump. Well i guess I hadnt tightened up the front wheel enough because in mid air it came off and flew off the bike. I screamed as the front forks hit the ground,bent and catapulted me off the front of the bike. I hit the ground arms forward saving my face from too much injury but I had friction scabs 1 inch thick the ENTIRE leangh of my arm for a month.... Does that come close to getting launched down a runway?
That had to hurt! Did you go to the hospital? Did you get to see the white stuff (bone)? That would have been the ultimate trophy....lol j/k
I'd say that was pretty close..
