Despite my size I never broke a frame or forks BiTD :daumenhoch:
CW cruiser bars snapped whilst starting (replaced by Revcore bars 8) )
Countless wheels, seatposts and bearings broken.
I moved on from SR type stems (to Pro Neck/Hutch etc) when I was about 12 but I saw many, many break so I think that was a lucky escape.
I shredded a couple of tyres.
Broken chains and freewheels (of many brands) ran into double figures easily.
I think I bent a few 1-piece cranks and bars but not snapped.

I never broke a frame because I was only 8 stone when I was 12 bitd...

Regularly and flat spotted wheels over the jumps and once snapped a stem with my girlfriend on the back having a taxi home from school..she forgave me  :LolLolLolLol:

Rode the pedal bearings out and bent Sugino 1pc cranks a few times...

GHP Frame DT snap
suntours stems x2 bent
robbo pro bars bent
endless 1pc sugino n takagi bent (altho takagi 180s remained my crank of choice  :daumenhoch:)
401s bent
i could also never get mx1000s to work as well as the earlier 1080s? 90s? cant remember which was the size but they worked much better than 1000s and the extra flex was quite nice  :daumenhoch:

on the flip side
GHP Forks, tufneck square corner stem, dc tech 3, elina LB, GT layback n suntour beartraps all saw me out, awesome products  :daumenhoch:
also gotta mention i had a 1.75 comp2 on the front n a 1.75 grippa on rear, those tyres lasted me about 2 years :daumenhoch:

Utterly demolished a rear Tuff2 when imiss-judged the height of a set of steps I bunny-hopped up and snapped my chain and removed a lot of the chrome on my rear drop-outs at the same time.

Never damaged my Mongoose Cali frameset despite all the accidents I had...... But certainly sacrificed a lot of skin to the BMX gods and still do now!
Still limping......
