Three wheels. No wings. It’s been a minute since we’ve seen a nice three-wheeler clip. Now make it a 2-stroke 3-wheeler and you have all sorts of extinct technology in one capture. This guy had ambitions of flying his trike to the top of the hill. It certainly went further than he did.

Well things sure went bad in a hurry. Racing can be a dangerous business in even the best of times but when one rider goes down on the landing of a big, blind step-up, the domino effect of wild crashes quickly follows.

I got you, bro. Once in a while we start to losing control with a trusty buddy close enough to step in and save the day. That’s not what happens here.

King Quad, peasant operator. This guy got brand new tires, remembered to put his King Quad into 4×4 and even bought a new blue flannel for the occasion but forgot one simple lesson when it comes to punchy, steep climbs: Momentum always works better than wheelspin.

I’ll just bounce myself to a better look. Dougy had a simple mission – to blast his quad to the far side of the mud pit. Things started out well but then an impromptu opportunity to inspect the bulbs of his machine’s headlights manifested in the middle.

The hairdo helmet. We’re as amazed as you are that an individual whose definition of safety gear includes a knit hat, mullet and camo hoodie could lose control of his ATV but this video proves it is certainly possible.

When your ATV and helmet race without you. This is one of those weird crashes where the quad itself seemed to come after its rider with a purpose. And while there is no question the helmet saved his melon from the crushing impact, we also witness why the chin strap is essential.
