    Look at the expression on the face of the kid watching... comic! :lol:

    Maybe if the rider let go of the bars and jumped clear, the crash wasn't too bad?

    I had a grip come off the bars once in mid flight when I was a kid. The end result was not pretty. :eek:](*,)

    This guy isn’t a true weight weenie either. I mean who only installs one brake...true weight weenies go brakeless. He redeemed himself though with saving weight with no shirt or helmet. :bang:

    If the brake cable wasn't there he probably would have done a back flip.

    hey Kid A your avatar has a striking resemblance to the kid on the bike is that his dad? :-k

    I did the same thing off a loading dock. Came to the end of the dock pulled up real hard and the gooseneck came right out. I bailed but still landed on the bike. No broken bones but I was hurting a lot, in a lot of places for a long time.

    This sounds very similar to the old 'loosey gooseneck' problem on my old BMX bike. Those allen heads would always rust out, and you'd be pulling up off a jump wondering why your handlebars and moving back and forth. #-o
