STUPID BIKE TRICKS:   Low Rider Trick(Please don't try) posted by: Brandon on 11/17/1999 at 4:22:57 PM
A friend of mine used to do this "lowrider trick" where
using a ten speed bike he would sit on the bikes top frame
bar and rest his feet on the front wheel nuts, thereby
appearing to look like he was cruising on a Harley. I think you
can guess what happened next. Yes, while performing this
trick on MY new bike and cruising down hill his foot slipped
off the front axle nuts and into the spokes, launching him
and the bike. The bike came down with incredible force and
bent the back rim such that when viewed from the rear it was
in the shape of an L. As for my friend, luckily he landed
in the grass next to the road with sprained ankle and sore
head.

Riding a Stingray on an asphalt parking lot. Hit speed
bump, did cool wheelie, then front wheel fell off. Forks
buried in the asphalt (had a tough time bending them
back--the fork tips were splayed out about two inches per
side) and I went face first over the bars and onto the
pavement. Hot tip from 1975 or so--make sure those front
axle nuts are tight before popping any wheelies on asphalt.
