So who all crashed their C-dale if you did how?

 

I had a major crash on April 10th. Motocross track, going over a 105" step-up jump. I did the jump twice ok. Well a few others at the track wanted to watch me do it, so I did it for the third time and over shot the landing. I broke my back, some ribs, seperated my shoulder, broke both bones in my arm and a few in my hand. When I landed the quad was nose down I went over head first then the quad hit me [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Still in the healing process doing good. Can't wait to ride again......

 

What track Canman?

 

Standup wheelie on rough ground. stood it up, couldn't find the brake, dropped over a ledge and whatever happened next I ended up with some dirt burn and a Deeep bruise, 4 whlr upside down. Messed up the throttle cable somehow! but no biggie.

 

Very small step-down coming out of a corner. The jump had a big rut in it and my quad went sideways and when I landed, I did a nice face plant in the ground and my Dale rolled over upside down... got oil EVERYWHERE! It just happened this morning during the practice before my race, but it didn't hurt at all... just my pride [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img].

Coming through a down hill corner and some guy hit my back tire and sent me over the bars and flipped my quad over. I didn't get hurt in that one either but my tire came off the bead and I ended up DNFing that moto... got a whole big 1 point that day [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img].

 

I was on a private track a friend had built on his property. Its a pay to ride type.

 

70ft double with tabletop landing tried to clear the whole landing small double right before the big one normally 3rd over smallone then 4th tothe big one I was trying to go as far as the bikes that part was easy the landing wasnt.I landed in the big hole the bikes make when they accelerate after landing a bit sideways got thrown of knocked out,broken collarbone,fractured scapula I am still a little nervouse about jumps 6mo.later.

 

I hate those holes. Same thing on a 70 ft. double I was doin yesterday. Almost everytime I landed, my back end would hit the end of that hole and bounce side ways. I never wrecked off of it but when you are wide open 4th gear w/ about 10-15 ft of air and jumping about 75 feet out, a little sideways bounce right when you land isn't very comforting. It still didn't keep me from jumping it though [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img].

And QUADS tear up the tracks??? In my earlier post where I said I flipped the Dale upside down on the little step down, I was having trouble turning it back on it's wheels because it was stuck in a huge BIKE rut. Bikes say that we tear up the tracks and make it dangerous for them. You made a perfect example of how the bikes can make the track just as dangerouse for us quad racers. The danger is there no matter what part of the track you are on. Just be careful out there, have fun, and go HUGE. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
