I've crashed my 87 Honda once about 4 years ago. Just a little roll over at about 10 mph on wet grass no big deal. Oh and there was this one time my dumb *** friend was on his go-cart and I was on my fourtrx and we were riding side by side down the dirt road all of the sudden he swerves to go into a field entrance right in front of me and I didn't know he was going to do this I swerved hard rolling it into the ditch at about 30mph that sucked ended up with the quad on top of me. But if I would have hit him on his go cart I could have killed him because it would have ran right over him. It didn’t have a roll cage on it. But that wasn’t my fault that I spilled that time. Lets say I stopped riding with him.
Other then that never spilled my Raptor or Xplorer and I ride them hard. But I've had a rule that I don't ride outside my skill level.

 

Got myself on video doing a real nice mid air cartwheel after high siding pulling out of a bowl sideways. Fell off a few other times just low speed screwing around. Other than that, pretty lucky so far.

Last trip to the dunes I wheelied over a rise and went over a drop off, went about 20 feet down nose-down thru the air figuring I was eating it REAL bad, landed on the front tires still on the steep part and somehow saved it. I inhaled the entire seat and K&N into my rectum on that one. My mistake too, I knew better but had to show off.

 

HAAHAA.... Crashes , Crashes... The first week I got my raptor i was going too fast and i hit my friends rear tire and the bike went into two flips and i flew over the handle bars [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] and we measured how far i flew also lol.. i flew 42 feet!! I left it with huge cuts and broozes... but luckily nothing broken.. and the bike is still in the shop as we speack... Bent the bars, plastic, axle.. Yep the life of riding.. lol

 

Ive wrecked one time. Was on a trailblazer going up a hill, the quad lost traction in the back wheels and i bailed and rolled down the hill. ITS NOT OVER!! Well i get up and start brushing myself off and i look up at my Trailblazer wedge in between a small tree (FRONT bumper was looking straight up at the tree canopy) i mean the tree was like 1 inch at the most, thinking to my self how the HELL-O . SNAP!!!!! #*%@ It came down on top of me running over me and the swingarm got caught in my chest protector dragging me to the bottom. INJURIES? WHAT?! a scrapped knee. Its important to wear Helmet and chest protector. I would have died without it, no doubt.

i wrecked numerous times on my old blaster, once tipping over going around a turn too fast, second, wheelieing up a hill and the throttle stuck, throwing me off and having the quad run into a tree and flipping over, third, wheelieing into a 2" thick tree somehow throwing me over the handlebars and the quad rolled over my arm, fourth, booking through a swamp and i didnt see a small tree to my left that was just thick enough to tip the quad over, throwing me into th smelly a$$ swamp water, and i've wrecked plenty of times doing doughnuts and getting too much traction and have the quad flip me off, that was all in the 2 month time span that i had my 92 blaster before i sold it to buy a 400ex which i had flip over backwards on me once.

 

hmm

In the 2 years (more like 1 and a half) I have been riding i've wrecked probably about 4 times.....came real close to wrecking about 20 times.

First time...I was doing donuts in my backyard on the beartracker...smacked a tree with my back tire and i flew off...then the quad nearly rolled on top of me....

2nd time..I was going through a whoop section on my beartracker...theres was a steep one at the end i didnt see and i i flew right into it and flipped over about twice....quad just wedged itself in the whoop

3rd time I was going down a hill on a curve and it was a little 2 curvey....so i jumped off and it rolled down the hill...

and for the 4th time(worst one)
I was going up a hill (Yes, On my beartracker) and it was kindve rocky...i hit a rock...caught traction....it threw me off and flipped me twice and i rolled down the hill....the quad started coming back down and hit me in the side of the head...luckly i was able to still ride awy..a little shaken though....and with a big bump on the side of my head...

No accidents on the warrior yet.

1st bike: 1999 Arctic Cat 250 2wd, no wrecks
2nd bike: 1994 Honda 300EX: Hit a tree going too fast around a corner, two wheeled and clipped the right front tire, and broke the tie rod. Second wreck, soft, slow roll at the dunes from turning too sharp in too soft of sand.

The third wreck was the "best". I could do this maneuver where, on my dirt road, I would go about middle of 4th gear, probably about 30-35 and do a complete 360 and keep riding. Looked bada$$, but this time there was 5 other people around and I got to showing off. I had it in 5th gear and turned opposite of the way I usually did it. The engine bogged down and I caught a rut in the road. It bucked me off and started tumbling. My friends say it bounced about 12 feet in the air when the grab bar hit. I slammed my head into the road. My helmet wasn't fastened and when my head hit it sheared the bolts on the helmet off and it flew off and went down the road about 50 feet. All I got was a scarred elbow and side.

Damage to the bike was: unrecognizable grab bar, bent sub frame (and broke welds), bent handle bars, broke front shock, cut a gouge in the brake line, and cracked the engine case.

After this, we sold it and bought a 2002 Rancher, which we still have, and the Raptor, which we still have.

I have not wrecked either of them to date. (pounding on wood)

We'll see.........
