The trailblazer has only been flipped on its side...the magnum on the other hand has been rolled down, end over end, a 150 foot hill...it landed on its wheels...and was still running. The only thing that was damaged was the handle bars and they were only bent slightly. If you didnt know that something happend to it you probably wouldnt even have noticed it...yes they are solidly built.

Default wrecks and damage

On my timberwolf, a while ago when i still had it, i was going through a trail pretty fast and had to turn sharp, since i didnt have rear brakes (damn drums), i hit the front ones, they locked with my wheels turned, and she endoed throwing me off the front and laying the twolf on its side. another wreck was when i was going around a curve after it rained drifting on my 300ex and the rear end kept sliding around and it rolled over upside down, and my last wreck, was at the track, i tried to ride a stoppie down the downside of the ramp (like on huevos six) and it flipped over frontwards, i have never been hurt when i wrecked (knock on wood) because i pretty much know the best way to bail, which is what everyone needs to know in case they get in a wreck, i plan ahead of time to make sure i know the best way to bail before it happens, it pays off.

my tb been wrecked alot the worst 2 times was going down a old dirt road ( size of a reg 2 lane road) its all twists and turns and i knew teh road teh best so i was out in front just flyin by and around the one turn it was to loose by back end swung aorund the hole way around the turn ( the turn was like a complete 180) and once my back tires hit the bank i jumped b/c i new it was going to flip and once i did i landed like 10 feet from the rode the tb fipped in the air twice smacked off of the road and fliped again landed on it side and slid for another 15 feet
and all that was a scrathes in the plastic the other time was on this hill alot of ppl cant make it up on and i was jsut in a go lucky mood so i said the heck with it and barley mad it up and a couple other ppl and they didnt belvie i could make it so i hoped on and floored it and made it to the top and the tires just spun and before i knew it the front end came over supper fast landing on me ( got knocked out) and the ppl say the four wheeler rolled about 5 times and 2 of them on me i woke up with by back all brushed and black and blue but thats it as for the four wheeler just the plastic was all scratched and broke in a couple areas with the brake like broke off. gatherd up the stuff toke it home and went out riding some more

Default wrecks and damage

did this last weekend, not really a wreck but am still paying for it with my old body(33)

Went to sand Mt. Nv for the weekend and on the last ride of the last day my brother and kid got out ahead of me so I got on it pretty hard over some medium sized rollers. well I looked up doing about 30 and realized I was going over a razorback so I punched it to keep the front end up!! When i hit i landed perfectly flat, and slammed my head into the handle bars and light gaurd on the scrammy!! Broke my vizor on my helmet cracked the lenses on my goggles, gashed my 4head blacked both my eyes and jammed my back!! Scrammy went at it with my brother on it for another hour while tried to regain my senses again. When we looked at it it was about 15 feet high and I went 30 feet straight out before I hit.

my sister in law bought a suzuki 400 sport. never riddin a day in her life. i told her to just take it easy but her being stupid and a show off........went up the hill and there was nothing on the other side. needless to say she ate the big one. rolled the quad 5 times and bent and broke everything imaginable. Two morals here folks.....first timers take it easy and don't buy a suzuki 400 they are crap.
