I'm surprised cliffy hasn't chimed into this thread. He seems to be the older yet wiser type of guy that would have a few cents to throw in. Them old timers are the type that have, "been there, done that"...
Forgive me cliffy if you are offended at me calling you an old timer. Let me know and I will edit this post and remove the old timer part and just leave the wiser...lol

Life is all about living and learning!
It is always better to learn from other people's mistakes so you don't repeat them. Most of us have had at least one moment of embarrassment from horsing around/showing off. Life's best moments always follow the statement "Hey fellas, watch this!"
Glad to hear nobody got hurt and that the fix/repair will only set you back a little over $400. A fairly cheap lesson. Too many young people pay the ultimate price for their indiscretions and inexperience.
This will be a funny story to share with your peers in the future.

Sounds to me like you experienced snap oversteer or as someone else called it lift off oversteer. It's one of the things that can occur when you stress the stock rear suspension too much, in that situation the lca's/uca's will fight each other to keep the axle under the car, then most likely the UCA's binded on a hop of the rear snapping the axle out to the side.
Just speculation on my end though.. I'd check the tie rod/bushing/a arm on the passenger side.

I crawled under car today and searched again for ANY evidence of any scraping or bending. The tie rod is tight and there is no (side to side) movement to the front wheel. If it were to hit the a-arm, there would be some evidence where it connected with the concrete curb. Nothing. Same with the rear. Cant see anything. No evidence of hitting anything. Think I lucked out.
