Richard's 'Bent ends up in a tree

 Yesterday I was testing out a new 20 tooth granny gear up a very steep trail near our place. I don't know if it's the 26" front wheel, the bouncier SID fork or just the steep grade, but I got off track a bit and the front wheel lifted off.

 20 tooth chainring + 25% grade+ a front wheel that wanders off out of the rutted track up onto the side = "boing"

The bike started to slide up and back, and I got my legs on the ground but as I hit the brake the whole thing wheelied up.

I was able to abandon ship over the back and rolled off, but the bike ended up in a rather unusual position.

Sorry about the photo quality, but I only had my beat-up cell phone camera.
