The other day I was riding down some local fire trail. I saw up ahead was a small branch across the track. So I did a little bunny hop over it. Next thing I know I'm flying over the handle bars and landing on the head and shoulder. Luckily the only thing that was broken was my helmet.
After taking a minute to compose myself, I saw what had cause me to become unstuck. My front wheel had buckle when I landed the bunny hop, causing the tyre to become jam into the forks, thus sending me over the handle bars.
Is this common thing to happen, it was not large bunny hop, maybe 150mm/13inches high? The wheel was specialized hub/mavic rim wheel that came with the bike, are these wheels no good? I just had my wheel true a week before this happen, could the bike mechanic loosen the spoke tension to much?
