i pissed myself at about mile 95 of a 100 mile desert race, couldn't hold it any longer... i promptly ran out of gas at mile 98 and had to wait 2 hours for the sweeping crew to get to me. i sat in 80 degree weather after pissing my pants for 2 hours. had i known i was less than a mile from the pits i would have walked my happy ass back.. also i wouldn't have just let it go and pissed my pants

Never supermanned all the way to the landing ramp before or since or in a place where so many people were watching... BRUTAL!
I Flip-Turned that thing in the "Chute" Sooooo fast and got back on that track!
Well, I pull a giant holeshot and the bike died in the first turn. Yep. Forgot to turn on the gas.
Still passed 25 or so and finished 3rd in the moto. Made it back to my pit with a little more humility than when I'd left.
That or the time I got sucked off the same elsie and drug through the whoops on my ass when I stuck my foot in the spokes of a Zook.
Me too, but it was changed to a first after the protest.
I did this to my first bike...
It was brand new when I got it. And no, I don't ride freestyle.
(Now, I know it's a "nice" bike, but come on... I polished the fucking swing arm, WTF? ...I assure you I wasn't racing the vegas SX either)
As for while riding...there's so many they all kinda blend together.
That and taking off on the start and having your gas off....
Or looping it out on the start....
The same year at the same location they used to run a GP/long race around the lake and I was leading (in 80 novice) on the last lap and missed one of the final turns while looking at the pit board my Dad was holding out. Part of the track was on sidewalks in the park next to the lake. I ended up near the entrance of the lake by the highway before I realized I went the wrong way and my Dad was on the ground laughing at me by the time I got back.
But definitely the most embarrassing, was me wearing SMP baggy pants and jersey during some races when I was on 80s. I have pictures that make me cringe.
Pit Row
My family came to watch so I wanted win, (they never came to the track)
I get a poor start on a quick 5 lap race and get hung up behind a wide rider thats holding me up. I decide I'm going through in this next corner. Well it was at the end of the longest straight and I got in MUCH hotter than expected and he was trying to cut it in tight. Well I absoloutely nailed this big guy. I hit him so hard I actually felt bad about it. So in the next corner I ran high on the berm and pointed to the inside as to say "sorry, you can pass me back " . I guess he was thinking different. He punted me clean off the track. I was so pissed. I ran him down and passed him. When I gapped him a bit I came around a 180 degree next to the fence. I was coming outta the corner one handed giving him the finger and screaming to the top of my lungs "COME GET YOU SOME BITCH"!
A couple of turns later the last double before the finish I come short and nose high, the front came down so hard it seperated my shoulder. I was running one armed trying to get around the last corner but I crashed in great fashion over the berm. The big guy stops and starts cussing wanting to fight me right there. I remember telling him "I'm already hurt go fuck yourself" I begin my walk of shame off the track and realize everyone is watching the dumbass who just got redneck at the MX track.
top local guy is on the line, they're staggering us with the A class, I go and rip a practice start, power shift into 3rd
and the bike just jumps out from under me, flips sideways, pulling me face first into the mud for maybe 10 yards.
All I could do was take a bow. Heard about it for a month.
the crash bent the clucth side of the bars up about three inches, I asked for 2 minutes and surpisingly they gave it to me, I hauled ass back to my pits to find a good friend whom was quite the big guy getting ready for his moto, he grabs the bike leans it over and puts all his weight on the bars and damn near straightens them out perfect. I haul ass back grab the holeshot and don't look back and win the moto. still never lived down the crash tho lol.
so i gets through scrutineering (machinery) and i'm on the left side pushing my bike with my helmet on the right handlebar and I think I know what'll be super cool i'll run along and jump on side saddle (legs to the left) and coast in to my pit calm as a coma and no doubt make my new missus swoon... well it was goin good until when I jumped on my foot hit the gear lever and put it in gear which stopped all momentum and of course i fell onto right side and jammed my helmet into the ground with the full weight of me cause I couldn't get off in time and cracked the front and scratched the shit out of the back
and of course everyone i didn't want to see it, did....
my foot wedged between the spokes and the swingarm, and they had to remove the wheel to get me out.
Needless to say, the old man wasn't too impressed with his first race since it lasted about 15 seconds.
Embarrassing? probably when I thought I farted in my new white JTs about 10 miles into a 50 miler. Not only was it a disgusting mess, I had diaper rash from hell.
I can relate to your story. Back in 1974Ii was racing a high school motocross race at OCIR in Orange County, California trying to qualify for the state finals at the LA Colosseum (sp?) anyway my Dad talked Dan of DG Performance into letting me ride one of their team bikes in the qualifier. I pulled the holeshot and proceed to do the biggest high side ever in the sweeper leading to the first turn. Ruined the bike, smashed tank, bent bars, snapped off shift shaft and a big concussion. Feeling like crap, had to go back to the shop with him and work all night to fix the bike because Danny Laporte was riding it the next day at Saddleback in a national....Man did I feel like a fool...
Things were going great. I got about 5th place off the start and started moving up lap by lap. My mom was at the side of the track by the scoring tower holding out her fingers to show me what place I was in. Every lap I came around I had moved up a position and she was getting more and more excited. The lap I took the lead I saw my buddy's dad was grabbing my mom by the scruff of the neck because she was so excited she was damn near falling over the fence.
I wound up with a pretty decent size lead by the end of the race and figured I'd celebrate as I crossed the line with a victory wheelie. Coming out of a tight corner with a bunch of acceleration bumps and I clutch the front end up.... and right over it goes. I was trying to hold onto the bars and save it until the end, which only managed to put me off balance. I went face first right into a puddle and the bike went over backwards in front of me. Ripped the back fender right off the damn bike. I'm not sure what was more embarrassing. The victory loop out or riding the second moto without a rear fender.
