    Well I just got home from a quite unfortunate mountain bike ride. For those of you who are familiar with freeride mountain bikes, I HAD an Azonic saber. This is how it went. I was on my way home from about a 2 hour leisurely bike ride, nothing big at all. So, right around the corner from my house I decide to hit a 4 1/2 foot stair jump that I have done over 100 times. Well this time was different. I was going quite slow but not too slow. I rode off the jump landed, and thats when it all went wrong. I landed perfectly....until my bike broke into 3 pieces! It broke right at the top tube AND the down tube about six inches in from the from my headset. The top tube also broke about 2 inches in from the seat tube. I hit the ground hard, but I am just thankful that I was smart enough to have my full face helmet on or it could have been MUCH more serious. I will post pictures tomorrow in a new thread. On the good side, and what really matters is I saw a black 360 spider :D

    Your bike broke into 3 pieces? I have never heard of anything like that, hopefully the company will give you another one.

    I remember once I was mountainbiking, I hit a rock, went over the handlebars with my leg stuck on the frame. After being in the air for about 2 seconds, I hit the ground (head first of course) with the bike landing on me with my leg still through the frame. My head decided to land of a nice soft rock and then paint it red in blood. I managed to bend the handlebars and the frame of the bike. Lots o' fun.
