well it happened again.  let me tell u my crashes never seem to be small.  and it only took me like 3 months to get hurt again.  this all happened on thursday.  it was beginnin to get dark and i figured just down the path and back would be good for now.  well i made it down alright, but when i was comin back my right front tire was off the trail a little and hit some tall grass.  i hit the brakes, maybe a no-no, but the back end slide around and my quad started to flip sideways.  i got thrown off and landed on my left side.  i dislocated my left hip and pulled some muscles.  the four wheeler is now a three wheeler and i think i bent the steerin stem.  when i went to the hospital they said that my dislocation was rare because of the way it went.  they almost had to do surgery to get it back in.  but i guess these things happen, more so to some than others.

Let me get this straight. You veered off trail a little and your front tire went into some grass so you hit the brakes and it flips? :huh
striker thats what i was thinking
hurry up and fix that quad u should be riding as soon as its done ...dislocation isnt serious ride hard
If thats the way it works i'm gonna change my screen name to ''Studley Hungwell" :D 
Glad to hear your o/k.

I find it odd that someone with so little regard for their own safety or the quads; would have 3-4K in mods!   Why would you pride yourself in having "crash" associated with your name?  p.s  if you total your quad; put the good parts left in classifieds, I will buy some:D

ok hte trail i was on is basically a lane that has tall weeds on both sides.  i got off to the one side just a little bit and got caught in the weeds.  so basically the weeds slowed down the on side while the other side kept going.  and i went over.  the crash part was just a joke that someone started callin me.  i have a lot of pride in my quad.  i think im a lot safer on a track for some reason.  i dont get hurt then.  all that is broke is the top ball joint on the left side and the bottom one is bent.  i havent seen it since i crashed but i believe the stock steering stem also bent.  i planned on gettin a new one soon anyway.  and i want to ride as soon as possible, but im still quite sore.
