I was riding with my bicycle. One of the elastic straps sticks out a little from my bag, gets caught somewhere, I hear a loud click, then see it spin in the air and finally land on the other side of the road.

    Speaking of bicycles, as a teenager I was riding my bike through the neighborhood & then started looking at all the pretty clouds up in the sky that day. Then as I lowered my line of sight back to the road I saw the parked car I was riding directly into and slammed right into it. Not sure if anyone witnessed the event but it must have looked cartoonish, or at least something straight out of Jackass.

    Luckily got out of that with just a few scrapes and bruises, and a lesson to always watch the road.

      This brought back memories of teenage me and my idiot friends doing our own jackass stunts… we mostly jumped through a hedge trying to make it look like we just hurt our balls. We were not very creative.

        One thing we did was tried to hurdle all of the hedges along the street. I tried to film it once, but it was dark and trying to ride a bike or a skateboard along the pavement (so there was - in theory - less camera movement) while my friends were doing it wasn’t that easy.
