Default Is there anyone who hasnt crashed yet?

I just crashed this past weekend. Jumping over a dune, 2nd gear wound out, only landed the front left tire. I went over the bars and the bike landed on me. 2 cracked ribs and a scratched helmet. Bike was fine, just snapped the plastics back together and kept riding. Sleeping that night was a little difficult. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Hmm... I've wrecked the Wolv, but never broke anything on it.

Got the throttle stuck once, in reverse that is. My glove end got under my hand so the choices were to let go of the bars with one hand at full speed in reverse or roll it over. I rolled it over cause that way I could control what was going on and not hit anyone or anything in the process. Rolled it over by cutting the wheels hard and leening it over. Rolled it over on me, pushed it off, got up, flipped it over, started it back over, back to riding. Didn't hurt anything but a nice lil whack on the back of the helmet.

Over the summer I went ***** to the wall in 2nd into a swampy crap and hit an invisible buried laid down tree. Stopped me immediately .. I went over the bars but held on with the deathgrip and did a headstand for about 20 seconds on the front bars. Finally wiggled my azz backwards and fell to a nice crushing blow on the nuts, but better than face first into the swamp. That one I just put a nice scratch on the top of the Bell, and took over an hour to get the Wolv out.

Climbing a nice steep hill I bounced at the top and flopped down into a rut one day. Just sat the bike on it's side and had to jump off and hang onto it to keep it from going back down the hill without me. Got the AC500 over there and hooked the winch to it just to keep the front end down and it from going backwards, jumped on it, started it up, and rode it out of that mess.

Never broken anything yet .. I must be lucky... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

Poor Cannondale... you will break I'm sure you just haven't seen me yet [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I've gotten in millions of small crashes like flipping over while wheelieing, or over backwards on hills, but have only gotten hurt a couple times. One time before I had my ex I tried jumping a driveway on an expedition425, and the tail end bucked me off, I did a backflip into a head first baseball slide across the driveway. The other time was doing a no footer on a way too small jump and after realizing I wouldn't make it back onto the quad I pushed off and rolled perfectly.

soon after i broke in my lt-z250 we went to rausch creek. As i was going through a trail at the beging there were two BIG mud puddles. the first one was deep so i thought i would be able to hydro plane over the next one.WRONG! instead my left front tire grabbed and my other 3 tires were totaly off the ground . now im heading for a tree and on one wheel. some how i brought it back down and just missed the tree. needless to say i was soaked, and nearly pissed my self. i've had some close calls on it since, but havent wrecked it ( YET. )

At the track the other weekend and was riding a wheelie on the grabbar through a field, and hit a stump. it threw me over the handle bars, luckily i was wearing a chest protector and helmet, but still got a little scraped up.

First day I rode a quad in my life I flipped over the handle bars 4 times in one day. Guess you can call me lucky, never had any major accidents. Now have my own quads so I take it a little easier. Still pushing the limit though.

Ive had my polaris trailblazer for about 5 months now..... The worse thing ive ever done on it was doing donuts and it came up from the side and rolled, I was able to jump off and hit my chest pretty hard...lucky I was wearing a helmet when I did it.... the trailblazer was fine I guess, the back plastic ripped up to the seat and I had to bend the pipe back in place.

The worst I have been in was on my 77 Yamaha DT250 dirtbike, I wiped out hard on it, I still have a big scar on my ankle from that....It was cool when It happened cause I could see my bone [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
