Took my first REAL spill on the banshee today, went riding on my local trail (ride it every couple days) know the aera by heart, the trail is pretty wide, flew up a hill 5th gear 3/4 throttle got to the top hit a rock the rear end bucked up and threw me over the bars, I held on and attempted to push myself back down when I goosed it, all pretty much a blur from there, I know I ended up going over the bars the machine ran me over mabe dragged me a couple feet and ended up on top of me upside down, good thing I'm made of solid stainless steel or it probally would have hurt [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

Just kidding, but I am pretty banged up, no broken bones or fatalitys yet.. My hand got chewed up pretty good, good thing I had new gloves (they arent so new anymore) or my hands really would have been chewed up, my helmet has a couple good gashes and I smashed the visor, my new handlebars are toast and I bent a couple plastic braces nothing major. Honestly I am very lucky to come out without major damage to me or the machine. So hey wear your helmet! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Ive done this all too often. Get used to it. Thats why my AIM name is brokenshee. Since december, Ive bent 2 axles, 4 wheels, and bent 1 pair of bars. Dont mess yourself up to bad man. Its not cool not being able to walk for a week because you are too sore to. Oh, and make sure not to do grab bar wheelies, they are not cool. Ive flipped so many times doin those..
