I was the genius who decided to run flat out down an icy dirt road once. I saw a turn comin and slowed down to like 40mph or so and hit some ice. Slid off the road into a snow bank got thrown off and flew like 20 ft. and was 2 ft. from hitting a tree. The quad was like 40 ft. down the road upside down in the snow and still running. No serious injuries though, just my wrist was all swollen for like a week after. The worst part was that it was on the first day of the weekend and had to ride with my wrist all messed up for the rest of the time.
Who's been hurt on an ATV?

Riding 3-wheelers had tons of rolls that involved cuts, scrapes and big boo-boo's.
My worse one was in Little Sahara where my buddies and I were having a distance jumping contest. I was jumping farther than ever and was landing hard enough to bottom the suspension out on both ends. Long story short ended up biting my tongue off, just one flap was holding it on.
36 stitches later it was attached half-ass back on.
I was complaining that I was hungry so my Punk-ass friends went to the store for me and brought me back a bunch of baby food.
Fu**ing jerks.
God I miss hanging with them.

I was thinking about this, and it seems odd that that high in the gearing it would have enough torque still to get the front end up. I know the quicker your going the lower the balance point is, but still need to get the front end up going that quick must be a mighty hard rock/pull.

oh he shifts through the gears,he will start out at like 30mph and shift through the gears and in the end he's doin 70+ and is still riding a wheelie,well also he has been riding since he was 3 and he is like 23 nowso that might have somethin to do with it also,i will get a vid of him soon

Ahh ok, I though you meant he pulled the front end up at 70, not just rode it out. Hope he get's better soon.

Heh, I have to get pics up of the aftermath of my arm, I broke both bones in my forearm snowboarding. After it was all said and done, I got counting both internal and external stitches I got close to 180. 40 on the inside (palm up), and 38 on the outter part, both internal, then on the outter layers to put the skin together again, 54 on the inner forearm, and like 40 on the outter forarm. On top of that there are 2 plates and 13 pins inside in to hold the bones all together. I'll try to get my xrays scanned, and the after pics. don't have any before hand since I was on the mountain, and wasn't worried of taking pictures, just getting to the hospital, lol.

nah not really, I just went to throw a 360, and I didn't get around far enough. came down caught my heelside edge, and put my arms back to break my fall. Which I did, eventhough the thing that broke my fall was my forearm...
I do have to say that since then I have gotten down 3's both front and backside, along with now putting grabs in the mix with them. Starting on getting 5's this winter, maybe i'll get some vids of us. Especially some rail vids, I'm better on rails then in the air. I can get things like 270's to boardslides, and on double kinks---> ___
.........../......\ I can get 50-50's up the face to nose/tail presses down the back side while airing the middle. not too bad, but I'm getting better. it sucks landing on ice here in NJ...
