None taken, i know my bike isn't a real mountain bike, Heck, i was going to shoot some video footage (For editing practice) of me going down a hill that started off with a 6-8" drop off. Well, the drop off had a small cave between the dirt and the sidewalk cement, and i figured i could hide the camera in there to get a cool shot. I decide to try the entry first to be sure i could clear the jump without hitting the camera.

So i got a good start, did the jump, landed it fine.....or so i thought. After i landed i started to head towards a tree that was a few feet from my landing, I hit my breaks and steered from the tree. I ended up hitting a root the jutted out from the side of the tree and Endoed. Funny thing is, i completely cleared the bars, and ended up landing on my feet and slid down a bit before coming to a stop.
Damage to me? None. Damage to my bike? i tacoed my rear wheel, and ended up breaking my rear derailleur.
