Default The Worst Thing That Has Happened To You On a ATV!

My worst incident was at the dunes. I was riding some sand trails and I hit some standing water on my YFZ in 5th gear. I don’t remember much of it, but from what I’m told, I got launched over an embankment and slammed into a hill on the other side at warp speed. I got 2 broken ribs, a concussion and some nasty bruises.
Second worst incident was when I cartwheeled my Raptor during a race…Thankfully there were no injuries that time. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

i know a guy who lives pretty close to me well hey went riding with a bunch of friends on his polaris xplorer worked to the max. well hey was on a trail when he hit an opening that was straot so he took off when all of a sudden there was a turn up ahead. well he didnt make the turn and went flying off the cliff hit his leg into a tre slicing it open with all his muscle and everything hanging out. his helmet was split into two from hitting something i guess. My neighbor saw him went and got his quad up the hill. then the guy has to ride his quad back 40 min to the campsite with a belt around his knee to stop the bleeding. today he walks around with a motor scooter and cant walk on that leg

Default The Worst Thing That Has Happened To You On a ATV!

A few months ago me and my cousins were at Florence. I was riding my uncle's 2000 YZ426F, and me and this other guy started showing off and jumping over by comp. hill. Well we were stupid and didn't have a spotter. I launched in thrid gear about 3/4 throttle. As I was in the air I saw someone on a DS650 to my right, and I could see they were going right were I was landing............Then I woke up in an ambulance. Wasn't sure what the date was, where I was, or what had happened. Fortunately the other rider was not hi, she was just really shaken up. The bike suffered only a few black scuf marks from my boots on the left rear number plate. I came away with only a concussion and a slightly damagaged pride. The one thing I am really upset about is that my cousin didn't take any pics, so the only proof that any of this happened is the hospital and ambulance bill. Next time I crash, I am gonna make sure someone has a camera.
