I finally flipped my Warrior. I have had about 20 close calls but it finally happened today [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] It all started out good, and I was making some nice hill climbs at the local waste coal dump. I wanted to make a really awesome one that was steep but short and had a jump at the top. Well, I hit it in second gear, and two rocks kicked my front tires up this side hill which sent my front wheels airbore and also put my right side in the air. I let off the throttle and my engine stalled becuz of the lack of gas getting to the carb from the vertical postioning my quad was in. I held the quad on the hill as long as I could, 5 sec, until the rocks cut into my back to much and it started going over backwards on me. I left it go when it started pulling me down hill with it and it bounced twice before finally coming to a haul. My steering stem was bent so bad that is put a dent in my gas tank, my handelbars got demolished and bent into a million different directions. That was all. I had turned the handle bars up so that it was ride-able. It had hardly no turning at all but it ran great. No smoke, didn't lose oil or gas. I ran it home about 7 miles. I got the tank dent out and got the stem straightened. I have a huge brush burn on my entire back, many cuts and scrapes on my back and both arms and I have to go for x-rays on my left leg cuz my shin is about 3 times it's size and my knee won't move. All this cuz I wanted to make a new awesome hill climb. When I get back on the seat I plan on making it up the hill that I didn't make it up today. Man does it suck, MY first flip......oh well. WE learn the hard way and I will learn from my mistakes.

 

Even though this is your first flip I don't think congratulations are in order but like you said we all learn from our mistakes and you learned something today. Good luck with the shin and knee. Don't let that hill get the best of you. You'll get it next time!
