Another one I had was a few years ago on a seriously rough TY250 twin shock. Going down a steep banking turning left, the front wheel dropped in a rut and tucked under onto full lock....as I went over the top in slow motion I could mentally picture the bike following me. As I landed I made a run for it....didn't move fast enough, the bike landed upside down on top of me, I think it was the handlebar not sure but something hit me right in my kidneys and then onto my ankle....was a bit sore for a while...got back up and carried on practicing...didnt try the hill again!!

Just being nosey.... Mine was just after i started riding, I was at a trial with the Huddersfield Falcons on my Twin shock Bultaco. Going round a tree at the top of a steep decent, sharp left turn downhill. Just as I went over a large tree root the front wheel went onto full lock and started to go end over end. I just lept upwards and grabbed a branch as the bike went down the banking flipping about 4 times. I was left dangling at the top and all the bike got was a broken clutch lever! There was no way I was going down there with it and the people at the botton were left laughing at me hanging in the tree!

Finally got round to taking a pic....needs a clean and polish to get it looking a bit better.... One of the whole lot together, Stabilizers on the PW50.....

When I got my Beta it needed both tyres replacing, I looked around and listened to advise, I ended up with a Michelin front and IRC rear, no signs of wear after several events on either... My Dad uses Dunlops on his Tiger Cub, they last ok, but they do tend to start cracking round the blocks when used on the road between sections.
