Default fliped the 350 raptor in a race with my neighbor last night!

well last night i was racing my neighbor and it was like 9 30 at night we went through a couple races just for fun hes teaching me some stuff to get me faster and get my cornering smoother. well the last race we did, i had the cornering down perfect, and on the course that we made there is this table top jump that is prolly like 6 foot high and we jumped down it instead of up it so. the last lap of our race. we were goin into the corner of the jump and i guned it to catch up. and then i realized i was going way to fast or i was goin to go squirlly off of the jump so i slamed on my brakes ( nothing i just slid) then as i reallized if i didnt stop i was going to slam headfirst into a tree so as a reaction i grabed my front brakes to stop. bam!!! nose endo right over the handle bars and quad slams right on to me as im laying face first on the ground i rolled the quad off of me and then flipped it up straight. i was fine, just a little confused cuz everything happend so fast. that i know of the quad is fine to. i am just glad to be alright . thats the second major crash to add to the record books.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Buddy of mine did that with his Predator a couple weeks ago.
Can't say it made him a better ride though. Just more of a weenie

Glad to hear you're okay. Get back out there and giverheck [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

o im not scared of it or anything now that , that happend cuz last summer i flip my honda 200 i was (racing again) and i hit a drain age ditch and went nose first into it and the quad landed on me from prolly 5 or 6 foot in the air and THAT ONE HURT just a bit. broke my leg and messed up my arm and a crack down the side of my helmet.
after the quad landed on me in fliped prolly like 6 or 7 more times every way you could think of. the one thing i am mad about though is that noone got pics or had a camera rolling when this stuff happens.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]


but just for the record
I wear my helmet everytime i jump on my quad and it has saved me every single time from little and major things.
and after the first crash with the 200 i went out and bought a chest protector. and that thing has saved me also. i broke my ribs before and never want to do it again worst pain in the world.
