Well your dad will get over it..hes probably mad that you came so close to getting injured! He will be ok.. I only had one crash in my life on a trike...it wasnt fun but i learned real fast that I needed to relax. I just got a new quad and I can tell I am getting way to used to it already.. Just be nice to your father and dont make excuses. He will appreciate the honesty.

Again....glad your okay. Sounds to me you were either riding way to fast for the area you were in or maybe you were way to inexperienced to be on a 350. I think theres a reason the manufactuers recomend you be at least 16 to ride a quad like that. Kids everywhere are raised up racing and by your age are riding the fastest bikes out there, but they have been doing it all there life. Thats fine and I don't know your personal situation but to me it sounds like way too much quad, way to little experience and a very strong lack of respect for the machine itself.

 

i had at viper 90 then went t o a moongoose then my brother took that over and i starded to drive my sissters yz 85 and i did that for bout 5 mounths then my dad got me the raptore in 2005 but i was scard to go as fast as the yz would go and i cept blwing spark plugs o ya and i had ben on the trail 5 or 6 times before

 

got a pic of my raptor befor new tires and crash thise was like the first munth i got it

 

well guys i went and looked at the raptor agane i sat on it and it was jast not coming back to life thise is a dead raptor

 

do you have any pics after the crash?

 

yes but thay are still on the camra

 

A, take your time and try to spell a little better. B, the Raptor can probably be fixed. You can buy frames and pretty much every other part as well. Maybe even pick up an old Warrior with a thrashed engine cheap and transfer all of your good parts onto that. C, Start earning money now for the rebuild to help earn your dad's trust back. D, Sit down and really think about the accident and what happened. Chances are you are the responsible party in this. Razrs are used for many types of racing, I feel pretty confident that they don't have any funny handling traits. So unless you had a defective tire or it was not installed properly, responsibility falls mainly on your shoulders.

 

First, I'm glad your okay, that's the most important thing. Secondly, please work on the punctuation and grammar so I feel better about the future of english. English is hard enough without all of the spelling and abbreviations.

Anything can be rebuilt, it may not be as bad as you think. I'm a Dad and my 11 year old scares me all the time, so the inital brunt of his anger is over now. Just tell him you have learn a lesson and help him rebuild your quad. ATV'ing is something you guys do together, so I'm sure he will be more than willing to help you get back on the trail after you get healed up so you guys can enjoy the sport together.

As far as how you crashed, thats a tough one, sounds like you should have gotten pitched off the quad but you somehow managed to stay on. Go back to the scene of the accident and look carefully where you lost control, play it back in your mind and figure out how you could have avoided the incident. I always tell my boys to keep their head up and look where you want to go. Look way out in front of the quad and you will be able to react quicker to the trail.

Good luck and I hope you get back on the quad soon.

 

you may have hit a small unoticeable stump or something on the ground. I once grazed the edge of a stump and it cause my handlebar to jerk hard. Did crash but i hurt my thumb pretty bad (from the throttle pushing it back)
