Default Razor Bent Frame

We had a rough weekend Harlan Campground - Putney Trailhead this weekend. One of the Razors water pump went out, another ones fan relay quit, bent the door and bent the frame into the drive line. One of the Tracker broke a axle, blew a tire(he just bought) the other one busted his fuel tank. The Suzuki Eiger needs rings now and my Wildcat Trail melted another hole in the firewall however we still managed to ride about 50 miles. Here is a quick clip and once I get some of the videos edited ill share them.

This is how the Razors frame got bent.

I guess it happened in that last bit when he bounced the front end? I'm sure I wasn't the only one expecting to see it flip and roll. I don't see how that would bend the frame but I guess sometimes that can happen. Must have already been tweaked a little and that's all it took.

Both of them came down on the frame. At :34 you hear the first one bounce off the rocks. Second one looks like it may have done it a little harder.

I believe the first time it might have weakened the frame and the second it bent it. I personally believe it should have bent, I didn't think it was that hard of a hit. It's a rough little ledge to climb, I own the Wildcst Trail and I knew if I tried where he did it would have more then likely turned out bad cause he has a lot more ground clarence then I do.

Did someone pick up all the cans that came flying out?

I can see something like that bending the frame.

ATVers get a bad rap. If we litter on top of the pre-conceived ideas about us, we'll just add fuel to the fire.

That edge looks pretty sharp...enough weight coming down on an edge will tweak a frame...may I suggest a rock glide plate in the future...it'll distribute the impact force over a greater area...
