Here's a good one!

My story start out fun enough. Went riding Sat. with the guys and was having a good 'ol time. Around noon went to a spot with 4 nice sized jumps about 2 to 3 foot high, and the last one about 6 foot. As I was jumping these and my ego grew bigger I started going faster. 1st, than 2nd than 3rd gear, I would guess I was going about 25 or so and just at the top I would goose it. Well I didn't goose it enough and then it happened. The DS did a nose dive to the right, I tried to lean to the left to bring the bike straight but couldn't. Landed and the bike corrected itself but I come down on the left side of the bike and with that the pull of my weight moved the bars sharply to the right and with a violent roll over on me that I seen stars. Don't think anythings broke but man am I sore. DS didn't recieve any damage but for a slightly bent bars. Buddies said I was about 6 to 8ft in the air, I know that's not much for some but remember. Up to about 6 weeks ago I was a Scrambler 400 2x4, that alot higher that I could ever jump before and after this, for a while atleast I'll stick to 2 footers.

Good to hear your okay, but i'll advise you to take off your front plastic and seee if you broke your headlight mounts. I busted mine on a tiny 4mph rollover> Those mounts are junk. The only "poorly" built peices on that machine.

happy to hear you didn't break anything on yourself. 300exster is right, you should check your headlamp mounts. I think that was real ****ty design on Bombardiers part. Since I bought mine used and I knew the previous owner rolled it once, I found mine to be broken as well. I used Epoxy and it has held together so far, though the price for a new one is around $100. I haven't had the nerve to try a triple jump, but the DS does ver nicely on a set of big doubles.
