One good fall deserves another. Some days you just get in that mood to watch the foolishness of others leading to unplanned soil samples. Other days you get in the mood for four straight minutes’ worth.

Saving that crash with style. Once in a great while the laws of physics actually work to our benefit and when that happens, always best to look at the camera as if that were exactly what you intended to do.

The impromptu safety lesson. What a nice man we found this week. After playing hopscotch in the driveway with the kids all day, he was kind enough to demonstrate the importance of ramp chains for the rest of us.

Hope he rides better than his old man. We think the goal of this one was simple – blue smoke bomb in the exhaust to let the crowd know it’s going to be a boy. The pavement doughnut and subsequent fail were all improvised.

When your kids know what to expect. If you’re wondering how a quad load-up results in a guy getting road rash from sliding down his ramps, this week’s specimen demonstrates. His kid working the camera knew how this was going to turn out before he did.

Lessons in momentum learned the hard way. Momentum is a funny thing – one moment it’s carrying you along with your quad and then the next your quad has stopped but isn’t letting you off the hook. This guy had a great mud setup but the one modification that could have helped him here (a […] More »

And for my latest trick… wink wink. Crashing is not a matter of if but when. Sometimes, though, it can look almost like a deliberate act of skill. In the case of this guy’s side-by-side climb fail, he certainly did his best to play it off that way for the camera.
