Default what is your worst crash on a 3-wheeler

I cased the 5th whoop in a set of 6. 350x wide open 4th gear. Endo'ed it about 4 times. Result: 350x: tiny dent in tank and warped headlight shell. Rider: dislocated left elbow w/ nerve damage, big problems for almost a year w/ it. broken tooth below the nerve line, , busted nose, concussion, scraped all over, busted helment, and a nice little helicopter ride to the hospital.

Default what is your worst crash on a 3-wheeler

about ten years ago i was leaving a flooded swamp on a dirt logging road trying to get in before dark. the road was slightly above the water so when i ran through water, it was only about a inch deep. i had been running for about 30 minutes on this road (at 4th gear) when i came upon water. thinking it would be only a inch deep, i didn't bother to slow down. the water was about a foot and stopped the bike dead in its tracks. i was thrown over the front about ten feet into a pete rose slide. thankfully the road was soft and after not believing i was hurt, i found that i had only minor scratches and a face full of mud. learned a lesson.

The worst wreck On a three wheeler for me is when me and my friend randy were going on a wide dirt road with little trails sprouting off of it. We were headed for the lake and we were wide open about to tap 5th and he slams the brakes. I had no time to react and hit the back of the other bike. I was fine just rolled away. We were on 200x's

Another wreck I had was on my 185s. I was headed up the road and as soon as I hit 4th the right rear tire and wheel popped off with no warning. I jumped off and landed on my feet but boy did it hurt when the bike caught up!

My only crash ever was when i was about 7 or 8 i believe.......I was barreling down a gravel road on the 200m, and i came to a dead end......so i when to the edge of the road and it was a steep slope downwards and it then came back practically straight up....me thinking that this thing would hug the other side going up lol....didnt quite happen.......i went down the slope pretty good..making some speed......then started going up the hill and i was about 20 ft up and the front end popped up....then it rolled over backwards on me and it smashed my leg up, not to bad tho......after about 10 seconds off rolling backwards down the hill..i stood up and the bike was amazing jus sitting there lol.....straight up as if nothing happened.....so i waited like 5 minutes and i drove off......only came out with a brused leg[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img].....and that was back in the day when i didnt wear a helmet[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]..since that day..........i've wore my helmet ever ride since[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Im with you there whiteman350x! I was going a tad bit to fast, probably nearing 40, when I hit a set of 8 whoops. I over shot the first one, and ended up doubling it, but I wasn't prepared for the next whoop. The wheel twisted underneath me, as I came off the whoop. I was slammed into the 4th whoop, pinned down by my trike. At least It was on sand! I got a broken rib, and a nice huge gash on my thigh. My pants were stained a dark red, lol. Not much happened to my trike though. Scraped up the fenders good, and put a hole through the head light shroud, lol.

Blasting wide open thorugh a dry creekbed, 15-20 feet embankments on both sides from the bottom of creek. Embankments arent too steep, ran up one side, turned around headed for the other side with the slingshot effect- hoping for some big air at the top. Came flying to the other side, 4th gear, hit the embankment, made it to the top and took flight... didnt know there was a fence in the landing zone...

clipped an fence pole with the swingarm, bike got all tangled up in the fencing and I landed on my face(helmet saved my face) flat out on my chest. Tweaked a rib pretty good, but rode the rest of the day. One of those where you get in the air and then its like oh $h!t [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

My worst wreck on anything was on me and my dad's atc 250r when I was about 10. He was driving and we were on our way back to camp for lunch, well we were doing about 40mph around a gravel road when my dad lost control and we flew off the side of a 30 foot cliff. Luckily I didn't hit any trees on the way down, but I did have bad cuts and bruises with a back enjury that haunts me a little bit to this day and I am only 20. Therapy and exercise has helped my back a ton though, doesn't bother me much know more. My dad got cuts and bruises 2 but his leg hit a tree on the way down and tore it up pretty bad, they almost had to amputate it but it healed in time. We shouldn't of made it threw that one but the good lord chose not to take us at that time. I also think that was the only time I ever saw my dad cry because of the fact that he could have gotten me killed.

While riding a Big Red on a rock covered creek bed. The front popped up and I fell back. My foot was stuck in a bar that went around the foot peg. (I'm not sure what good the bar ever did.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] ) I was dragged across the rocks by one foot. (Twist throttle) This happened years ago.
