I have a 2004 400ex. i only had it for two months now. it is my first quad but i knew how to ride for a while. i can ride a wheelie to im blue in the face, i can jump any kind of jump no problem. i can ride flat out.

but this one day me and my boys were on a trail (one raptor, one warrior) and i was in front i hit 3rd gear hard and was coming up to a little turn in the trail. i hit the turn hot a little to hot my bike jumped up and was in the air directly aimed at a tree. i manage to miss the tree with the front of the bike but the tree hit my rear axle and sent me and the bike flying in different directions. i was 10 feet up on the right and my back was 15 feet up on the left. i blacked out. my boys told me it looked like a car crash. i got up and walked away fine but my baby had a bent axle. now im waiting for my axle and havent rode in two weeks. it was an ugly crash

when i was littel it was my dfirst time driving my dad's sled and i guess i accidentaly cracked it open and flew across the driveway and ran into our van


then last year i jsut separated my shoulder the wind kinda took me and when i landed sideways the impact launched me from my quad...thats how i also bent my axle

Mine involves me , a 3 inch branch , my stomach , a helicopter ride , a week in ICU and over a month in the hospital . Oh I was also about 10 to 15 feet up when I landed on the branch .

Almost a year ago I broke my ankle, dont remember exactly what happened besides a jump being involved. But last friday I rode a wheelie in 3rd and it came back to far, hit the grab bar and flipped over onto its side, bending up the rim and my handlebar lights.

a few weeks ago riding the dunes i took a pretty hard fall off a polaris predator. there was a nice lip off a razr back and there wasnt much of a landing but i thought i could land on it anyways.... well i hit the jump 4th pinned on the predator got ready for the landing, landed a little harder then i thought as the front tires landed last the quad literally bounced with me on it 20 ft and while in the air of the bounce the quad got sideways so i bailed pile driving my already injured shoulder into the sand. knocked the wind out of me and could barely move my shoulder but had to get up and finish out the shoot with 2 more hours of riding to go.... ****tiest day of riding to date!!!! :o at least i had some fun at glamis when i hyper extended my left elbow... lol

p.s. THE last shoot i ever do on a stock predator period! 2 is already too many.

This happened to me on my YZ 125. Throttle stuck right before a I hit a jump,(didn't even have time to hit the kill switch) I bailed, the bike landed and keeped going until it jumped a berm and went ino the woods.
Ended up breakin my arm,Fractured my knee and spained both ankles. I guess he cable was frayed and caused it to stick.

But now im back and still riding:devil:
