Default Is there anyone who hasnt crashed yet?

Ive had my raptor for 6 months now, and Ive managed to dislocate my right shoulder/arm. Not going fast enough up a, I dunno, 70-75 deg hill maybe? and didnt stall it but tried to get up on the front brakes and stand on the pegs and go back down but it flipped back anyway, bike hit me on the way down, it rolled 3 times and did nothing to it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] !!!!! My buddies have done the hill since then, you've really just gotta be hallin *** to get up it... I was back on 2 weeks later... I just ride past that hill, I can feel it laughing at me [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

My first crash was on the lt80 the first day I got it....didnt see a barbed-wire fence, needless to say I fell off the quad and ended up tangled in the wire. Got right back on...and did it agian about an hour later. Five me a break I was like 8 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

The only crash I've ever had on a four wheeler was when I ran into a rotten bench made out of a few 2x4 boards in the dark on my Beartracker. We were playing hide and seek. I haven't had any accidents on the Warrior yet. YET being the key word.

There's only two types of riders.

"Those who have fallen and those who will"

I have owned my Ds for under two years. 3 wrecks. 2 of which hurt alot. I have around 30 crashes or so on my bikes. I have been riding for 17 years. They happen. The best you can hope for if you ride is to be able to walk away unhurt.

been riding 7 years. The only crashes that ive left the bike on were

1. racing a friend on my old recon across a field didnt see the 2ft. deep ditch quad did 4 flips, I did 3.
damage was limited to my pride and some cracked plastic.

2. tried to make it up a hill on my atc 200x but failed miserably, forgetting I was on a three wheeler i cranked the bars and it flipped. rolled over me and landed on all 3, I was minorly burned and bruised but nothing serious.

ive had mine for about 2 1/2 years. ive had too many close calls to count, but im yet to crash. the worst accident ive had was when i was ridin behind a honda goin about 35 down a loggin trail and a deer ran out in front of him (it was nighttime) and he had to slam on the brakes really fast to avoid it...needless to say, i stopped just in the nic of time, but my dad didnt. he nailed the grab bar goin about 25 and if there wasnt a quad in front of me to slow me down i prolly wouldve flown off the back. i did have a stiff neck for about a week after the accident. ive also had a lot of close calls going up steep hills and flying around soem really technical trails, but ive been able to ride away so far...
