u guys are crazy if u think ur raptor needs more power, i was going in 2nd gear down my drive way i leaned back then throttled the thing, came up about 90 degrees then i fell off my *** but it didnt fall on me cuz of that bar on the back (good thing) then it just idoled a lil and stalled, nothing happened to it but i wanna prove my point, this thing is friggin crazy!

Get up front on that thing. Especially on hills. I looped mine out on a hill because I was riding lazy. Get's expensive when you turn them over too.

Welcome to the Raptor learning curve. Now that you have learned how it tips backwards, your next experience should be on tipping sideways. This curve teaches you to not only keep your weight forward, but to keep your weight to the inside when turning or sliding. Good luck and may the damage be cheap and not so painfull.

I just noticed you have a 01 Rapy. Your experience with the learning curve will include high speed reverse get-offs too.

I still think that the next time everyone gets together we should have a 01 Rappy Reverse Race. It would be hilarious. How hard would Trinity and Sparks work for that title.
