Sorry to hear that Stendori.

I remember reading somewhere recently that in Australia one of the top 3 causes of deaths on farms is the ATV.

My rules - Helmets, gloves, boots, long pants, no drink or drugs, and when it feels too fast, slow the F*** down.

Our condolences.

Sorry to hear about that Bro. Stendori! I hate to hear about the tragic or any for that matter accidents of our Sport and hobby.
Hopefully we all learn more from this as reminders to ourselves to be extra extra careful and take nothing for granted.

With prayers and warm thoughts to his family and friends!

Regards,

R'

That is a huge bummer stendori...

My motto is "Dress for the crash not the ride"

That way you dont need to slow down. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I'm sorry to that too but I hope we can learn from it so his death won't be meaningless. If you find out any details you can tell us what NOT to do.

well thanks guys. i heard more about it last night on the news(as i havent talked to my friend yet, im mena dont know what to say) he was riding w/ a buddy(and he wears his helemt i beleave) and they rubbed tires while going down a trail and he lost control and hit a steel rail. so no matter what safety equipment your wearing, you cant always be protected. just keep it safe and repectable my atv friends.
