It was going fine, I was riding my new DJ hardtail having a blast, and my buddy (aptly named Framekiller on STR) was riding my Jamis Diablo freeride bike. The idea was he would huck some loading docks / stair-sets until the frame cracked (it is already bent and I am trying to get a new DAKAR bam).

So he is hucking this one flight of stairs and then riding back up them, he is on the 4th or 5th run. On the way up he tries to catch some air off the stairs and compresses the shock...well he pinch flatted the rear tire.

So between us we have one bike (my new DJ hardtail) which I am riding around practicing manuals and wheelie drops on. He asks to take it for a run, which I have no problem with... I had been trials-style hopping up this one flight of stairs for a few minutes.

So he decides to bunny hop up the stairs...at high speed...and pinch-flats BOTH TIRES on my DJ hardtail. This is within 10 minutes of the freeride bike pinch flat. Needless to say I was pretty pissed. There went my urban ride, and now I need 3 new effing tubes or patch kits to make these tubes operable... :evil: :evil:
