I was climbing this 3 foot high rock wall at the begining of this dirt bank and I thought if I go faster I'll just jump to the top, ( I've been climbing it slow with no problems) well I went faster alright, about 25mph, instead of the tires rolling up the wall the struts bottomed out and I hit the wall head on, but still jumped it. On the right side of the winch it put a flat spot about 4 inches long on the frame and scraped all the paint off, man did I get upset. The paint on this thing is unbelievable thick. In need of stiffer springs and touch up paint.

Don't feel bad. I'm waiting on a new steering shaft @ Handlebar. Climbed a mud bank that went past verticle at the top and got flipped. The shaft won't hold up 600# without bending. My old body didn't fair much better with a separated shoulder. I'll heal but it makes me sick to have to repair the Prairie so soon.
