Went over a ramp, wheel pops off and my front fork digs into the same pavement, ass over tea kettle and chin RIGHT into the pavement. 20 stitches, anesthesia directly into the wound [that part was the worst pain my life, which I guess is a bad AND good thing].
I don't know for sure that the kid loosened my wheel, but he was around my bike right before it happened and I know I didn't loosen it, and the first time the front wheel came off the ground it just went flying. I never said anything about it to anyone to tell you how much of a bully he was.
Saw him at the old Crest Drive-In over a decade later and he just looked so small and sad [not literally small, he was Zoftig boy]. Figured that chapter of my life was closed.
My parents still joke that they laid low from child protective services for years after those two weeks.

the city was pouring some concrete like a big patch in the middle of the road way. My buddy thought he'd make some tire tracks in it. Turns out, the concrete had'nt quite set enough yet. he rode over it, and his front wheel went about 1/2 into the cemeber. flung the bastard over his handle bars a good 10'.
...needless to say, it was awesome.
