lilgirlblue, Monica is right. The Hondas do soar like a bird and that was one of the first exhilarating things I experienced when I got my 400 3 months ago vs. the Warrior I had been riding for 2 yrs. It felt like I was floating when I launched off jumps. I have always loved jumping (once I learned) but my 400EX has taken it to a new dimension. Start small. That is one thing that has helped me progress so quickly in my riding. I conquered fear after fear by starting small and once I saw what I could do I tried bigger stuff. It is the greatest feeling in the world.
Scramdaddy I think from the reaction I get from guys they are shocked and yet impressed by a competent female rider and at the same time it does freak them out to see one wreck. One of my buddies got a front seat view of me flipping down a hill so steep I did a free fall. He still has flashbacks if I mention it LOL! My only concern was my quad after seeing it flip a few more times below me. I could not have had a more potentially serious wreck with less injuries if it had been planned out by the stunt team for a James Bond movie. It must have been a horrible sight. Wish we had it on video so years down the road I could show my grandkids what I used to do for fun! Angelon400ex

i dont so much iv been rideing other peoples quads and atc's since i was 11 i was 14 befor i got my owen im almost 21 now im 5"10 172lb i can kick my r around ok i have a restored black 83 chevy 3/4 ton 4wd with a 400 big gas hog but its not under powered hehe i love my 250 its a really easy quad to get use to it toke me less time to get use to than any of my 6 passed quads and atc's
they handle better than any quad on earth mine was an x racer it puts out close to 50 hp but remember as a beginer you don t know much i wouldn t even do little hills that i won t even slow down for today but were all like that to startout with mainly because we don t know the limt's of the quad were the balnce point of it is kinda like learning to walk i had to basicly teach myself to ride other than a very few useful pointer's from frineds of mine i don t see why a 400ex would be a problem any atv will get away from you from time to time just ride as fast as u can handle never let other's make that choice for u thats how bones are brokein for beginer's i learned to ride mostly by being alone just puting around trying things baby steps i guess thats what im saying take em

iv toke some good dives in the passed to it was scary but mostly because i had a 6000 dallor 400 forman that was only weeks old didn t want messed up there were these big dirt piles at a frineds place id climb alot well one day when i was starting down the other side the bottom of the hill was duog out with a dozer or something i locked up the brakes and when i got stop i was sideways in the middle of this fairly steep hill right at the balnce point of my quad so i slowly and ever so gentely got off on the up side ofcourse makeing my way to the down side while blanceing the quad with my hands when i made it down i worked it down the hill streeing and useing its owen power yea that would have made some nice video footage the only good thing that happen is i slide so that my shifter was faceing the bottom side if it had not been that way i think i might have had to let her go or think of something else anyway just another day in the life of an atver go big or go home

Angela you sound like a wild woman, you and my girlfriend should get together she's almost as wild as you are. I had to take her to the hospital so she could have her back checked out when her LT250R rolled on top of her after trying to make it up a ruffed up hill climb.
I tell ya you girls and your atv's are going to give me a nervous break down.LOL.
