MX bars falls off during scraping 12..:(

I was practising my 12's scraping and tricks..

i went on the bar scraping and the mx bars let lose.. I lost my balance and fall of the right side of the bike when the mx bars in my hands.. then the mx bar hangs on the cable's and i gave full throttle and launch the bike

Then i get up went to my bike and saw that the bike store had mounted my bar with only to bolds each on one side.. and only 3 a 4mm of thread

I went crazy when i saw that..

I was lucky that my FI cage have saved almost everything.
I only have a little dent in my front wheel and oil all over the bike.

here are some pictures..

That's why I'm the only person that works on my bike. If I don't know how to do something I find out how then do it.
Good luck with it.

That sh*t is crazy, dont let anyone work on your bike. Most people at a shop are just trying to do everything fast and get it out of the way, they dont take anything else into consideration...

File a lawsuit against the bike shop and you'll probably get a new bike out of the deal, they clearly ****ed up and could have cost you your life.
