So I am the super dude of the house and I ride a GSX600 and am the man.

So its raining and my youngest boy decides to take off up the street on his bike (fuck knows why).

So I jump on my oldest boys pushbike and take off after him and highside it coming out of the driveway... with my wife and oldest boy watching.


Too much power for such a novice rider. I going back to my GSX. Something I can handle!.

ouch

People who drive cars don't realise that the most common crash injury when riding 2 wheels, is bruised ego, and injured pride.
I have suffered aplenty.

I highsided my pushbike about a week before getting my motorbike.

The road hurts when you are wearing tee shirt and shorts, and have no gloves on...

I honestly don't know how you can highside a pushbike???!!!!Yeah, this was my thought to. My worst two-wheeled pain is definitely from a push-bike also though.

Get a pushbike that is 400 times too small for you.

get a smooth piece of driveway

add water

a touch of gravel

Add as much ego until the desired effect.

for me it was when the chain de-railed while I was powering my way out of the driveway, leaning into the corner like rossi. I was just flicked onto the road

I remember my first ride on a geared pushy, grabbed a handful of front brake and Young Strat was a Flying V! I swear my brain thought Im outa here, cos all I remember is the start of the flight, and my cousins talking to me sittin under a tree.

Ask TS about pushbike crashes.

There was the one where he cartwheeled and took off the top of a 2m tall sapling, probably the most notable.... Then the stitches in the arm and the letterbox.... etc

There was the one where Milky got speed wobbles on a very small bike and cartwheeled into the road, with the bike flying over him (that was quite a while ago).....

There was the one where I lowsided on a big diamond plate in the wet at 30-odd kmh (slightly cut knee, bandaged up at the glass shop across the road, and carried on into town - damage, what damage?)


mmmm pushbikes......

Thing I love about pushbikes is you can fuck up a wheelie get up fuck up a stoppie then go lowside and the only injuries are to you not to your wallet, and they are sweet if your pissed

I've never owned a push bike with brakes good enough to do a stoppie. last bike cost me $30 and $30 to respray, cheap nasty but it worked great...until I realised I had put the pedals on too tight and couldn't add more grease to the bearings :argh:

wicked, we need a pushbike forum!
When I was around 8 I used to ride everywhere, I remember speed wobbles, wheelies etc.
Just got back on push bikes and tried jumpin off my deck. Chichened out and my head dropped the 1m.... Shoulda guned it and broken the frame...
