All while riding dirtbikes:
Dislocated my left shoulder in midair, re-located it when I slammed facefirst into the ground. Torn rotator cuff.
Broke two ribs (about 3-4" from my spine,) and my left thumb when I high-sided over a berm.
Concussion, wrenched back, torn right rotator cuff when I wiped out going uphill at about 50mph.
Concussion, buggered up left knee, broken finger (right ring finger), badly split lip when I wiped out setting up to rail through a turn.
On the same hill. Going into the same turn. No... I didn't learn.
Launched the bike like a ballistic missile once. Beautiful runup, 5th gear wide open. Beautiful launch, beautiful flight (I *LOVE* slow-motion tabletops), beautiful landing.
Wiped out turning around, lost 4 teeth outright, broke 2 off, chipped several more. Ended up with a full upper denture from that 'incident.' Embarrassing. And really expensive.
Worst idea ever - Taking my buddy up on a bet that I couldn't get that hopped-up, over-bored, already-insanely-fast YZ125 to run on nitromethane...
