Nimbus ISIS cranks bent

I rolled over an eighteen inch drop, and bam, my left crank was bent in
and slightly twisted. Which is weird, because I've done much larger
drops and landed them much worse than this.

these things are cumulative, it bent over the 18" drop -because - you
took bigger drops badly so many times.

Hey, Captainwelch, you're in the Santa Monica area? I'm in Irvine!
(about 18 miles south of Long Beach) We should get together and ride!
I'm assuming you're doing your 100 mile rides on a Coker... if not,
major props to you... if so, well, still, major props to you! 🙂

I've been wanting to ride south from here to San Diego (where I am
from) for a good long time now, and it'd be awesome to go with someone.
I'd totally ride north, though, if we were going to ride. That is,
unless you're based in Ventura or SB or something and the Santa Monica
mountains were the south end of your ride 🙂

Last time I was at Point Mugu was when I was on my bike on my way south
from SF area two years ago, it's cool out there!

Cycling: It doesn't get easier; you just get faster.
Unicycling: It doesn't get easier; you just do tougher stuff.

So, I weigh in at about 170lbs

and chuckearonut,

I'm only in LA because I performed at the Orange County Performing Arts
Center last week with a show I'm touring with. Sorry man. But I am
looking for riding buddies for my Alaska ride in May, if you're
interested.

I bent a crank before from a waist height drop into a muddy river bed. I
was quite surprised it bent as the ground was very soft. I suppose it
must be a cumulative thing over many drops. It was horrible to ride
afterwards. I think my one serious injury on a unicycle was due to
having a bent crank (not that riding off picnic benches is dangerous or
anything in the first place). I got used to it being bent while I was
waiting for a new one so when the new one came it felt like it was more
bent than the old crank initially. If I ever bend another one I'm going
to get it replaced as soon as possible.
