hey guys, i had one of the best, scariest nights ever.
PLEASE READ, ITS LONG BUT AWESOME STORY.

today at like 5:00 my friend andrew rode his quad(suzuki z400) up to my house, he lives about 2 miles from me. this is the first time in like 1 month he has been to my house. so i was really excited, and so we went up in the state forest, and he said you wanna try the trail and i said whatever, i have been down this trail just not as far as we went today. alright so listen.

we rode down the trail this is a very rocky, bumpy, extremely muddy trail. to save a lot of time, about 2 or 3 miles into the woods, we come to a very very deep mud bog, and he is out in front b/c i was on my dirt bike and i saw him go through a mud hole not deep at all maybe like 3 or 4 inches, and he made it through with some struggle. so he comes out and there is another hole that is fairly long and is very deep but you cannot tell it is deep at all. so he goes through it 4 and a half feet of muck and water. so he just sat there and spun, and now it is like 7:30, and we tried to get it unstuck for about an hour and a half. this mud is mucky, and you sink right into infact i lost my shoe, honestly i did. so i had my dirt bike and we were a little nervous b/c this is state land, and its illegal to ride on, and we were out in the woods a good distance, but we were still scared of being cought. BY the way he is aobut 16, i am 14. so anyway after about an 1hr and a half of trying to get the thing unstuck, we said forget about it its not coming out. so i rode my dirt bike back in a panic as fast as i could, this is a very rocky trail, i could not leave 1st gear through most of the parts of this trail, nor could he there is one part where you could possibly get into second gear on the dirt bike, but not for long. so i hurry back to the house, and call one of his friends and my friend, and he has a lot of quads and dirt bike(i wont get into it, very rich he has like atv store in his garage. lots of toys. so the ride back to my house is like 30mins. so i get to my house and call him no one answers after like 5 times. so i say you know what i gotta go back, and i left my dirt bike at my house, and got through my trail about 8 or 9 minutes on foot, that brings you to the dirt road to get to this trail, so now i have my bro with me, and we start to enter the trail and THERE HE WAS, ON FOOT.LOL he just gave up and walked that long long walk. so we got back to my house about 10 minutes later, by foot and we called him again, and the kis i was with's twin brother was there with the kid we called. and we said come quick the z400 is completely stuck. so he came as fast as he could he brought over his 2003 polaris sportsman 700 twin. in the back of his truck. so him and the twins left out on the sportsman, at about 8 o clock. and so i said i would walk to the end of my trail where the kid with the sportsman parked his truck. (didnt park at my house) so i walked up there with my bro and it is pretty dark out so we had flashlights, and we waited about 45mins, in his truck for them 3 to come back. so we were sitting in the back of his truck, not pitch black out but it was really dark. so finally we heard them coming up the hill to the end of my trail, but they drove up and there was only the sportsman and the three were still on the quad. so they the could not get it out, and they snapped the chain and rope they had. and they had to get home b/c the kid with the sportsmans mom was worried a bit so we got to ride in the back of the pick up on the quad, about half mile to my house. i did get pics of me in the truck while it was moving but its dark so i dont think they'll be very easy to see.

so you guys get a pretty good idea how bad he as stuck, gues this was like speedy speedy fast mud, you step in it and you sink to about 4 meet of muddy muck. it is unbelievable that the sportsman 700 twin could not pull him out. so as we speak the z400 is still sitting down in that trail. as i am typing this it is now 10 o clock here in connecticut.

BY THE WAY I DID GET PICS OF THE SPORTSMAN AND 2 PICS OF US IN THE BACK OF THE TRUCK SITTING ON THE QUAD. BUT IT WAS DARK SO THEY MIGHT BE HARD TO SEE. i will try and have them posted sometime this weekend.

You must not get out much. -- There's one important lesson to be learned here.

Don't try new trails at such a late time of day. Maybe it's- You can't pull a quad out with a motorcycle.
Or it could be- Always leave prepared for anything. No, maybe it's- Don't answer the phone if a 14 year old "friend" calls in a panic. Could be- Buy heavier chains. Well, I guess there's a few lessons to be learned.

Enjoy your teen years. They don't last forever.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
