Both of my drops can be counted in this category.
1. I was rolling up to an intersection, went to put my foot down and it just slid out from under me. Then since I was retarded and had people waiting behind me, I wasnt thinking and just tried to pick it up with one leg on either side, which Im no where near strong enough to do, so by the time I went to the side some other guy had pulled over ad helped me out. Luckily no damage at all, I was able to slow it on the way down.
2. Went riding with a female friend of mine for about an hour or so after she got out of work, and as we were turning into her gravel driveway (me leading), I still had my fingers on the front brake and managed to wash the front end out. I basically walked off the side and never hit the ground but the bike was too far gone and hit the ground. Put some nice scratches on the side and a few dents in the can.
