Hi Team 
Well I am stuck down South and thought I would start up a fun thread.
Post your funniest crashes, here goes one from me:
Was cycling out at McCleans Island with a friend, good incident free ride. Anyway at the end of the road I ripped into the car park, pulled a BIG stoppie. The bike started to fall to the right, no worries, just put my foot out. Ooops , it started to dawn on me I was still clipped in. Picture this; you are falling to your pending doom, trying to get unclipped but hit the deck before you can save it. Only good part was I took the full impact, elbow hit before bars, thigh hit before frame etc. Anyway, it made a hell of a noise as I hit the deck and brought plenty of attention  . Running flats at the moment 
A bit lame I know, but gets the ball rolling

I went to bunny hop a 5cm high traffic island on my DJ bike and clipped it with my back wheel which sent me straight over the bars onto the road dislocating my shoulder and breaking my nose and taking off lots of skin.the impact smashed the seat rails on my bike through the seat!
On my XC bike i was bombing down a fast hill and hit a tiny tree root but it was sufficient force to snap the arch of my forks which in turn left me with very little steering and nowhere to go except off a bank into a pine tree! No injuries except my pride when the owner of my LBS who had to comne and pull my bike off me told me he was right behind me and saw the whole thing!
The bike came off 2nd best with snapped lowers, 2 buckled rims and 2 bent rotors.
