Wrecked my Raptor Saturday. (on Video)
I finally wrecked bad enough to prevent me from riding for a few weeks at least. I was trying out my new Viosport Helmet Cam and decided I was going to ride this hill I have gone up at least 30 times. It was about 20ft high mud hill that starts out of a creek and goes almost straight up. Over the winter there must have been a lot of 4x4 quads hitting it because I noticed (after I wrecked) that ruts were much deeper than they ever had been. Well I went 3/4 up the hill and just lost traction all together. I started to slide back but my skidplate caught mud and ejected me and my quad straight down into a rocky creek bed. The Quad landed on my left Tibia (calf) from about 10-8ft in the air then came crashing down on my side and head. I was underwater when my buddy said he pulled it off of me. He said I was in the fetal position underwater. I stood up and passed out cold on dry land. I remeber him asking me if I was ok and I said I thought I broke my leg. I finally got up enough strength to drive my Raptor (severly bent steering stem) down an easier trail then get on the road to haul **** back to the truck.
I got most of it on tape and will be releasing it sometime this week if anyone wants to see it.
I need to buy a new steering stem and a rear wheel. I priced a stock black 04 raptor wheel and they want 200$ for it. The stem stock is 105$.
I am also glad I was wearing my AlpineStar boots , Helmet and riding gear or those rocks in the creek would have ripped me up.
HERE IS THE VIDEO!

Dont buy another stock steering stem, they are junk. You are talking to a guy who has bent 4 of them, the last 2 reinforced. For 200 bucks, buy new wheels. ITP baja t9 are very strong and have built in beadlocks. you can get a set of rears for less than 200.
