Randomly, in the spirit of Halloween, I figured I’d share my mostly minor mishap today. It happened on my spare junker BMX bike today while doing front end spin around sort of balance tricks.
Apparently I need to get some end caps for my handlebars, the sharp uncapped handlebars are what cut me. ☹️🤦
Edit: Don’t mind the wristband, that’s a 1.5 pound sandbag weight to help exercise my left arm.
Yes, I do need to deburr the edges, I do have a decent set of files.
But that won’t be sufficient enough, my style of tricks are very fast paced and somewhat intermediately inspired from tricks of riders such as Matt Wilhelm, but I ride brakeless…

Me, like 13 years ago (Granted I’m not quite that good, but still…):
Needless to say, this spare bike of mine needs some service. I cracked Silver’s frame years ago (my original main practice bike)…
My current junker/fixer-upper:
