The surgeon general has determined not keeping both tires in full contact with the ground can be hazordous to your bikes health ;D

I agree.  I try to keep my wheels on the ground.  Unless of course they're going over my head as I'm doing a header into the ground.  ::)

Kind of like Sunday?  :-X

Yes, kind of like that.  ;D

Going over the handlebars is cool!  Does a wheelie on your helmet count?  If so I am reigning champion!  :P

I think we all try to avoid them, but they are fun to watch.  ;D

Tim's OTB experience at Santos last weekend was spectacular...
 
I was stopped before the first ladder to rock drop thing on Vortex.  Tim comes barreling past me, riding up the ladder.  I call out, 'you sure about that?'.  He responds 'yes' and then fails to pull up/pedal kick while exiting the rock resulting in a full on nose-dive, fork bottoming, flip over the bars onto the helmet experience.  Full credit to Tim for getting up and finishing up the ride strong.

Generally when Tim is in my presence, he gets injured..

It is all KRUNCH's fault... I think he stuck a branch in my spokes!
