I have a 2004 Polaris Sportsman 700EFI and love to wheelie and Jump, actually when I'm out riding with my friends they all tend to stop at all the mud pits because I am always the one to dive in and do the mud bogging, and always the one to hit the jumps and do the wheelies as well. I have a good picture of myself jumping the sportsman, you can view it by clicking on the My Photos link below.

Hey Ethyan, I'm a little older than that but
I ride private property by Kingston and just outside of Brown City.

You should get a Trail blaser or a Scrambler 4x4, the best of both worlds.

Agreed. At least he opted for the heaviest quad in the world for his jumping pleasure.

I really dont get wanting loud pipes for it either, but whatever floats your boat.

I liked jumping my Rincon down in the dunes [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
But that is nothing, compared to the MX track last weekend [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
There was a table top that was about 10-12 feet tall, about 35 feet long, with a lip at the take off point [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]
Holy crud was I able to soar the Air Rincon over that thing, flew that 600 lb utility farther than a lot of the sporties [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
The IRS on the Rincon soaked up the landing sweet, only barely bottomed it out once......
If I could afford some good shocks, I would really scare myself [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I do agree that flying these things is a lot more scary than the lighter sporties, it is pretty nuts [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I'm around 40.

You can pick up a used Scrambler for anywhere from $2,000-3,500 '97-2002 model years.
I have seen a couple decent deals here in michigan in the auto -RV traders and online.

The TB can be had new fro around $3500. Used anywhere from about $1,500 up.

They will do small jumps but i would recamend a chain tensioner for anything larger.

You could pick up a used older blaster for $1,500 up if you want to shift.
