Default Bad weekend ride

Well I found out the hard way that it is a good idea to go over the important nuts and bolts before a ride. This weekend we went out and were riding for about a hour or so playing around on a little track. After about the third lap, I was up on a high berm when I felt the left rear tire moving around. I looked down and saw it and thought damnit I blew a bead but by the time I made it to the bottom of the berm my front end was in the air. The fawkin rim came off! So now I'm walking the track trying to find all of the cone washers and the lug nuts. I found two cone washers and two lug nuts so I called it good, got them finger tight and rode back to the truck to tighten them up. Not even a hour later one of the guys I was riding with on a 350X had a 2.5" wheel spacer blow apart and now his rim was trying to fall off.
