Default ever flip an ATC???

time and time again. not too bad though and never at high speeds. luckly they're not too heavy so it dosnt hurt too bad when they're on top of you. one that i'm kinda proud of is one time that i was going up a steep hill, flipped over backwards, kept my hands on the bars and feet on the pegs, tiped it back over so that it was pointing back down the hill and rode it out. i'm shure it looked impresive, but no one was around to see it. the only thing that i've eaver been hurt very bad on is motercycle. you just need to know how the 3wheelers handle, and know your limits.

I've rolled over 3 times, once on a very light 125m and twice on a not so light 250es big red. The first time i rolled i was able to push it off of me and ride it back down the hill i flipped on, the second time i wasn't so lucky and i had to have one of my friends get the big red off of me cuz had my head pinned to the ground (i was wearin a helmet). The last time i rolled i nearly broke my dam hand. One thing i've learned is that its pretty close to impossible to climb hills that are almost straight up and down with a big red without getting a good run at the hill. Wish i had something lighter............lol.

I used to barrel roll my ATC110.
In the soft sand you could tuck under, hang on and make it back onto your wheels and keep going.
Big silly fun.

Yea ! It funny, If I didn't roll or flip my ATC's a couple times every trip I wasn't riding hard enough. Now on the quads it's a different story. Only rolled once during the past year.

Many times!! =D.. it's fun in the sand though.. I remember one time i was going in through the trails and stuff.. and i went around a turn and my left tire was getting low (punctured it on a nail) and it caught and i rolled into some bushes.. only thing that sucked was I didn't expect it and i went with it and my leg went under the bike *200 big red* heavy **** bike. Oh well, didn't hurt.. Then my brother on his 82' 250r was idling and his throttle stuck wide open, he had the clutch pulled in, but when that happened the bike automatically launched *wierd..* and he did a nice fast wheelie into my 3 wheeler and broke his collar bone =P

I,ve rolled, flipped ,tipped, teetered, floated, ran into things, fell off of and got ran over by atcs. That was many years ago. It was all good learning, now I don't crash anymore!

I broke my right collar bone riding a yamaha 200 across a field, wound out, in fifth gear. Someone had dug a drainage ditch across one half that I didn't see till i went over the front and it bounced over on top of me. This was about 10 years ago. Last month, I was bein cool showin how to ride a wheelie on my 250es Big Red and flipped it all the way over on top of me, kept aholt of the grips and feet on the pegs and held it there for about 20 seconds before it fell to the side. That dude is heavy. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

ever since i fixed my 3 wheeler, i been doin real crazy stuff on it...like picking the hardest route up hills and through brush and over rocks....just puttin it to the test. but, i havent rolled it hard yet, since i fixed it. i take all my insanity out on the 3 wheeler, and save my finess for the quad. just wish i had more people/time to go ridin with around here. but before i rebuilt it, i made a beeline for the mountain behind my house...knew i wouldnt make it, cant even walk up it, but i had to recover my highmark record....ill post pics of it if i remember
