Anyway, on to my wreck...my worse ever was a 3rd gear "fender grab" wheelie. I was heading for a parked car so I went to set the quad down, but wasn't really paying attention and I had the front tires turned...it landed and just shot me off onto the road. Didn't feel very good. The 2nd to worst reck I had was when doing a "legs over" wheelie in a field in 2nd gear. I hit a dip in the field and the quad came up on one wheel and then flipped over sideways on top of me....not smart.
Speaking of touching the grab bar in 3rd gear....My buddy on the warrior in the 2nd video clip did it twice. Once at the beginning and again about 1/2 way through....fool was only wearing shorts and a t-shirt. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

Now I am considerd top **** with wheelies thats wat my riding buddies tell me, not bragging but....... I can ride my warrior into 5th gear and go forever if i can get it going strait bbut when i put it into 6th it doesnt have enough tork. But with my friends Z it has a WB pipe on it and a filter and i can ride well into 5th gear and have NO PROBLEMS. I can be going flatt out in 4rth and let off and gun it and pull back on the bars and shes coming up slowing but i get it up and keep it pinned. not enough power to let off the throttle and get it into 6th with out dropping the front end down!!!!!! So i am guessing thats around a 5oMPH wheelie!!!! I DO NOT suggest doing this with out knowing wats going on and whos around you!!!!!!
