I planted myself into the asphalt, or rather my ACM decided for me where to go rendering me changeless of stopping it, no typical stand up and balance gone this time it did it at speed but likely a bit under 20km/h and flat nice asphalt surface and clean get away only some 50 meters later.. Wheel: ACM 820Wh Speed: Perhaps 15km/h? I know it's annoying but again, wear wrist guards folks! Stupid newb me did not at the time, no guarantee of course but I will never stand on it again without and accidents apparently can and do happen even when not from our own input. Me personally will likely never go full on motorcycle jacket, heavy integral full face helmet and all that (unless deliberately stressing the crap out of EUC as part of experiment maybe), but I take chipped tooth, bruises and even broken Tibia/Fibula, Radius/Ulna etc or any other "normal fall damage" or a combination of it than breaking my Scaphoid again cause this specific bone will take it's sweet time to heal, if it heal that is and and can be in need of complicated surgeries. Wrist guards folks. On 1/8/2018 at 3:11 AM, da5id said: I think someone has to say "pics or it didn't happen" I will not plaster my ugly face which I blame on chipped tooth, scrape and bruises hehe..

I'll do the rest. Ya that's me on 8/18/17 while I was performing vibration test with both Luffy and the ACM 1600. Luffy did not make it over the transition between the grass and parking lot. Photographer was my secretary. Speed 50 Kph ....no injuries as it was a relatively slow test. Not that I want to relive the embarrassment here is a video that was posted awhile back. Poke fun at me as much as you like! You don't need to watch the whole thing. The fall occurred at 2:14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than happy to pay upfront ( say 50 cents) for you to produce that specific Marty Achievement Award. It would fit right in with the Brokebacke Mountain photo (maybe change the ‘helmet’ to ‘cowboy hat’). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those look suspiciously like push-ups to me and should be disqualified because they appear to be exercise. As you know, riding an EUC is "cheating" and should require no physical effort.

Sidestreet Reny Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Riding my girlfriend on my back while going uphill at night on a shitty wheel. The wheel shall not be named...but its name starts with ....a mixture of invisible odorless tasteless gases (such as nitrogen and oxygen) and ends with a circular component that is intended to rotate on an axle bearing. 3 or 4 stitches. I screamed like a baby when I hit the ground, never even got my hands in front of me. From what she says "we fell as you scooted me up higher" either way the wheel simply gave out. Thank god she didn't get hurt...at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoother Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 @Sidestreet Reny how the hell did you fall on your face, no time to deploy hands, and the only injury on your face is on the bridge of your nose? It defies understanding. By all rights, your whole nose should be smeared all over your face. oh, I see some bruising on your forehead too. That knee looks nasty.

The piggy back ride means ya hands are interlocked behind the back plus the hill puts my face 30 degrees closer to the ground then add the 100lbs of my girl on my back and....yep my hands were useless.
