Ok,
Everyone I want to here your stories about your rides. It doesn't matter if it was an accomplishment of riding though some think mud, jumping a large ramp, getting hurt, or anything else that happened while on your atv. Hope to hear some good stories!!!

Well.. this reminds me of this *little* incident I had with a friend of mine back in 3/6/00. I have a 1993 trx300fw with 26" blackwaters f/r and a superwinch 2000lb and my friend was borrowing my pop's 1996 trx 300. We were doing some rockhounding near the lake in North Georgia. My friend, a novice, was ahead of me and cleared a rock w/ the front tires(which was under the bike at the time I warned him NOT TO GO any FURTHER)... you know what happens... what an airhead! BUT... not what you think.
He tips the quad and jumps off and runs into the lake (I couldn't figure this out) and the quad tumbles as he runs into the 60 degree water and trips into the water. Luckily, the water stops the momentum of the quad. My friend, all the sudden, breaks out of the surface of the water and he looks like a scarecrow after a brief period of heavy downpour. The quad was submerged in waist deep of water and I winched the quad out and towed it back to the garage and did alot of s$#@ to get it working again. (btw there was a spectator sitting on the dock watching the whole thing laughing his *** off).
2 days later... he flips the quad again on a ROCK (I told him to BE CAREFUL) and busted up his ankle... now he started listening to my warnings. He definitely learned his lesson... hehehe
