A friend did that in the 80's down Chatham Hill, only he went through the back window and ended up on the rear seat. Not sure who covered costs...

so what those posts have inadvertently proved is if you want to help reduce the chances of your bike being stolen & be more likely to find it close by if it is nicked then convert to a fixie

i pinched my brothers mountain bike on day in my final year of school after missing the school bus & as i raced across the playing field approaching the schools greenhouse desperately trying not to be late for an exam i was confronted with the schools smokers having a quick puff before class, on went the anchors, back of the bike locked up & slide to the left, clipped the kurb stones that lined the path to the playing fields. I somehow flipped right over sideways & landed on my feet just in front of heather the i wanted to bone i mean had a crush on the whole way through school.
apparently it looked amazing & if i had thrown my arms in the air and finished with "ta da" it would have almost seemed planned. But in all honesty i was s##ting myself & all i could think was don't go through the greenhouse glass, hit the wall or the people just don't go through the greenhouse glass.
was more dumb luck than skill that i even landed on my feet & not my ass.

Cycling to school with two mates in freezing conditions all the roads to school.had been gritted
Getting closer to.school and the was still gritted but the last hundred metres were only from the teachers cars so tried riding in the tyre tracks
From behind i heard thud and " this is gonna hurt!!!!"
With that my mate slid past me on his arse with his bike going past me on the other side i consequently fell off laughing and we ended up in a heap with our history teacher following us into school in an uncontrollable state of laughter
Same mate and riding home.from.school shouts to the group of girls how idolized him
"Watch this" as we all know nothing ends well when these two words are said
Needless to say the ice cream van man called him a multiple of expletives whilst wiping the tyre mark off the twister 99p sign

Ok - I'm probably going to regret asking - but I'm not seeing the point ?
(unless it's upside-down forks in the motorbike sense)

Afraid I don't know either as I don't go off-road. Hopefully there's a mountainbikerist who can explain as I can't think of any benefits.
FTFU

well about 3 months after school ended we went out for 5-6 weeks & were getting on well, but everytime i kissed her all i could taste was cigarette smoke, kinda put me off her after a while. Weirdly a few weeks after breaking up with her, i started smoking.
friend had one when i was young, i had a ride but not keen on no being able to free wheel down hills. Got off before falling off.
