Lets hear about your funniest crash!
The funniest one that I can remember (or at least I was told about) went like this...
I was on my KDX 80 (long time ago) we had let the barbedwire gate down into our field and was climbing a small hill. There was a nice flat going up to the hill and the gate was right at the bottom. We had climbed the hill a ton of times, and I was making a run to do it again... and the next thing I knew I was flying through the air... the next thing I remember after that was my cousin and dad standing over me. Once they realized I was ok (just a temporary KO) LOL.... They started laughing and told me what had happened. I guess the barbed wire got wraped round my front fork and about 10ft up the hill I ran out of slack LOL.... The barbed wire went tight, the bike done a 180 and I done a superman into the side of the hill! I ALWAYS ride with my helmet so the only thing I ended up with was a headache and a dent in the ground! They stll laugh about it from time to time!

Gotta tell you this as well I had a 70 Honda 3 wheeler that could climb trees... well at least it could when I was riding wheelies and was to bussy watching the crowd to see what people thought to pay any attention to where I was going!
PS
Just a side note a Honda 3 wheeler will go about 5 foot up a tree if you hit it in 2nd gear and don't let off the throtle until it lands on you.
PSS
My dad can cover 30ft of ground pretty quick when I have Honda 3 wheeler on top of me [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Lets hear about your funniest crash!
ok, here is one that I laughed at LATER....
I just got done having my wife coat my arms, face, head and shoulders with sun tan lotion..... (You know where I am going now) Just not even 5 min after we got my bike warmed up I took off and straight ahead in front of 5 trailers in our group I hit a small but steep hill, it was almost like hitting a small wall but my tires went up and the back tires hit it and just before I knew what was going on I felt this force pushing me over from the rear. I was like, what is going on here but then I started looking down and saw that my bike was going to tumble head first so I bailed off the bike and did a flip or two before my body stopped dead in the sand on my back while I seen my quad go end over end front side then went sideways and did a barrel roll before it landed completely upside down. I just laid there and thought to myself WTF happened...... As I was getting up, I see 4 quads racing towards me pretty fast, two were some friends and two were my daughter and my wife. They thought I broke my neck at first and were all worried for me but as I got up and took off my helmet, everyone fell to the ground laughing and I was like WHAT??? Well, I had sand stuck to me from the top of my head around my eyes where my goggles where and covering my arms from shoulder to fingers. It was just fresh as you can get with the lotion. I had to ride back and look in the mirror of my truck and had to laugh myself. Everyone came over to look at me and man did I look like a sandman or what.!!!
The only thing happened to my bike was my left headlight broke off and my back was out for the next few days. I just wish someone would have had that on tape[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Try this one on. I was unloading my atv off of my truck the ramps slipped rolled back on top of me. Here is the kicker all my friends was there. They had to lift it off of me. After they knew I was ok we had a good laugh. The same day I got back to my truck there was my ramps with about 25 rachet straps attached to the ramps and truck...

Lets hear about your funniest crash!
Too many come to mind...
This one happened during one of my MX races when I was about 11 or 12 years old. I was at the starting gate on my YZ80 revving up waiting for the gate to drop. The night before I spent a couple of hours going over my bike and polished it up, including putting a lot of Armor-All on the seat to make it nice and shiny. The gate dropped, I gas it, my a$$ slides right off the back like I was sitting on a slab of ice. I hold on for dear life causing me to grab more throttle. I went about 100 feet down the starting stretch with my legs dangling off the back of the bike and me screaming "OH SHHHH!!!!!!!!!!TTTTTTTT" until I flipped over the first berm. Lesson learned...never polish your seat before a race.
