Default i dumped it...again

ok this is my 3rd time ive gone over backwards on my scrammy... anyone who says a polaris automatic cant wheelie is just plain out retarded. havent got hurt at all on any, and yes i was wearing my helmet... i always do when i think i might be doing something stupid.

anyways, came up to a mound (uphill too) and the rear end was spinnin like crazy since we still have about 3 in of snow left. well it caught traction out of nowhere (not a slow grab, just an instant hit)and next thing im know im on the ground and it sittin in front of me on end... least it didnt come over backwards. ive never had that thing's front end come up so fast. i mean i was goin normal, and in less than a second i was on the ground...

good times eh?

I gess i'M reetaruded then.


Really, that doesn't count as a wheelie does it? Can you RIDE a wheelie on a Scrambler 500? I'm just curious. Every one I've been around seemed fairly gutless. I wouldn't mind having one as a 3rd or 4th quad for friends and family.

Done it more than once on my nephews Scrammy. Guess it takes skill on an automatic. Too easy just to pop a clutch. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I tried donuts on the ice with my sportsman with the chains on...
Didnt work [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img].

I found it fun though to put in in 2wd, then spin the tires. Within a few seconds you can dig two holes almost a foot deep in the ice.
