Well looks like I will be out for the next few months. Had a bad crash last week while ridding my friends track. The jump was a step-up into a downhill. Well I overshot the jump and the downhill, did a nosedive from about 60'. Broke my back, two ribbs, seperated my shoulder, and shattered my wrist. Good thing I had all my gear on it would have been much worse.The quad don't look too bad. I pushed the stearing stem down through the lower stering colum bering , mashed the bars, tore the seat, scratched the plastic very deep. I was surprised no crackes. Blew 2 tires off the rims dented the rims and I hope I diden't bend the frame. The front bumper is bent, just a little. Well off to get some more morphine....

 

OUCH!!!!

 

ooo that sucks man let us no of your progress and also let us know how that twinspar fram held up
aluminum is much more rigid than stell so if somthing were rong i would thing there would be a crack not a bend

this is just based on what i heard
