You just made me remember when I was 12 and crashed my 70’s banana seat with fire graphic red 3 speed Schwann style cruiser bike. Had the big pull back bars on an exaggerated “Z” stem. @Padawanbater2
The teenagers were jumping their new bmx bikes over barrels at the work site near the neighborhood and I got peer pressured into trying.
They were up to 8 Oil barrels lined up with the wood ramp leaning up on the first barrel.
I pedaled hard and hit the ramp fast but didn’t know what I was doing. Well I cleared the now 9 barrel long run but landed on the front wheel. Crack! The silly long stem broke and I went right into it with my thigh. Missed the worst parts by inches.
Man there was a lot of blood from that jagged broken stem. The kids all rallied together and got me and my bike home.
Ahhh memories.
