knife related - all those times i cut towards a part of my body and slipped. I still do it with screwdrivers into my hand. Ouch.
The bicycle - just finished fixing the front wheel on my 27 inch racer when I was 15 and running late for kayak lessons. Rode for about 4 miles and finally down a steep winding hill to the lake where the classes were held and saw everyone setting up. They all looked over to me and so I showed off by doing a wheel stand. The front wheel fell off. My face bit the tar, broke my nose, my cheekbone, knocked out two teeth, split top and bottom lips and rubbed half my face off. The kayak instructor took me to hospital. Now 20 years later one of my front teeth is dead and i had my fat lip fixed. Love motorcycles.

When I was about 9 or 10. Me and my brother took gasoline and poured it on the driveway and then lit it on fire.
Well that was pretty "cool", so we then did it again and rode our bikes through it...
That wasnt good enough.. so we then poured gas on the bike tires and the driveway and lit it. We then rode our bikes through the flames igniting the tires and we then had flaming wheels!!.
It was really cool till tires blew out

I made a poorly timed left turn on my old (now deceased) Honda VF1000F and found myself being tossed across an intersection by the van I had failed to notice in the oncoming lane? I still have the Titanium rod in my femur, but at least I got to keep the leg. I was on my back for 3.5 months. No fun.
Then there was the time when we were teens that my buddy and I found his Dad's old recurve bow and arrows in the garage attic. No one was home so we went in the back yard and started shooting arrows in the single tree present. This grew boring quickly. Suddenly I had a brilliant idea. Let's shoot an arrow straight up and see how high it might go? Just after letting it loose the arrow dissapeared from sight. It was then we realized that if it really went that high, it might come back down pretty fast!We beat feet into the house and waited. Due to the rotation of the earth or prevailing winds a few seconds later we heard a loud thunk from out in front of the house. We went outside and looked around and there was the arrow sticking up out of the hood of the neighbor's Pontiac Catalina station wagon!Lucky for us the arrow had stuck in between the vents at the base of the windshield. I was able to run over, jump up on the car and yank out the arrow before anyone noticed. It had definitely penetrated the firewall so the owner probably got wet feet whenever it rained after that but we got never got caught.

I've cut myself a hundred times, but the dumbest and stupidest time was when my father and I had a balisong opening contest IN ONE NIGHT!. He sliced open his foot and I sliced opened my thumb. Both required a combined 100 stitches. But we had fun.
Dumbass and lovin' it in NYC,
