Default Slamed into a tree at 30mph!!!

About seven of us, a 95' banshee, a 96' blaster, 04' kodiak, 98' prarie, 04' 400EX, 04' kfx 400, my bike...We were doing a breakin run for the blaster, at a place in AZ called four peaks, we went to the top, on the way down, we left the blaster and 2 huntin bikes behind, we were doin about 50mph, downhill, went into a S-turn, started goin off the edge, hit the breaks & steered twards the opposite side, hit a big dip in the road, rock turned the wheels twars the edge of the cliff, hit a tree, if there hadn't been a tree, i'd a went straight off a cliff!!!

Im ok (who cares, what about the bike) she's fine except a bent DG bumber, and me electric starter won't work...

Thats horrible but at least you and your bike is ok. I have a story about when I was 14, and its much more embarrasing.
I was riding my slightly modified 2001 Blaster following a Banshee with about I don't know 100 horsepower.
Well we were just riding in the dunes and all of a sudden my friend on the Banshee sped up really fast, and so
I followed him without thinking. He was heading to large lake with a very steep hill all around it.
I slowed down to a stop and watched him as he rode all half way around the lake and finally rode out.
Well it looked like fun and from a distance the hill didn't look to steep. So I sped up as fast as I could (about 50mph)
and started going around the lake. But my bike started to lose traction and the hill was so steep I couldn't get out
the top. Next thing you know I'm swimming holding on to my blaster trying to keep it from sinking. I would have drowned
before letting go of it. Luckily some people came and pulled me and my bike back to dry sand. Thats the end of my story. I was fine and my bike was running the next day [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
