Puget Sound/Seattle/Northwest Area Riders Meet HERE!!!
Wow! This story is why you should ALWAYS wear a helmet on a running quad.
Yesterday, went for a nice ride at Capital Forest, had fun. Went to load up, still in full gear. Rode the quad into the pickup, when the back wheels were about two feet from the top of the ramp, it snapped. The front wheels were already on the tailgate, so the quad went vertical and slammed me hard onto the ground then falls on me.
I hit my head hard enough to be a little dizzy, but the helmet did its job and I was ok. Boots, chest protector did their jobs, my back and butt are real sore, but I only have one bruise!
Scared the snot out of my riding buddy and the family that was parked next to us came running. ATVers are the best! They were so ready to help!
Toasted ramp
my only visible owie
So I stopped at GI Joes on the way home and picked up aluminum ramps

We are going to go helmet shopping this week. Both boys and I are going to play it safe and update our helmets. Michael and I have both tumbled and Ricky has been using the same one for 4 years.
I have a major headache today and the bruise is turning more of a purplish black - yikes!

Hey DM,
Not sure if we got the h/u sites or not. But I'm sure they'll be somewhere to get water once you get over there.
I'm going dry, that means I can put one more quad in, that is if I bring any of them................
