I have a group of about a dozen friends who are "hunters". They rarely ride their quads except in hunting season, so they are really "perpetual beginners". Sounds like that is what was going on here....

Remember back when you were a beginner? Terrain that was terrifying back then, is nothing now. You learn what the machine (and you) can and can't do, so you stop making a lot of dumb mistakes!

I've ridden with riders like you describe, and there always seems to be several incidents where there is almost a bad crash that is laughed about later..... and in most cases it is doing something that most advanced riders would not even try....

I notice they constantly make questionable line choices and generally have no idea where their body should be on the machine....... although some of the big huge IRS machines they ride to not really respond well to body English anyway since they weigh 700-pounds.....
