Well I was riding on sunday and had a little accident. I hit one of our jumps and clicked up into 3rd then tried to drift around a turn, the rear wheels caught and I flipped. I wound up fracturing my wrist and spraining my other.

if you like to jump or do wheelies you should leave your levers and your bars loose so that they wont bend. they just twist on the bars

DO NOT leave your bars loose. Your levers fine, but loose bars can make for bad accidents when landing a hard jump.

they didnt mean the hold bar just like the brake lever, throttle ect...

How bad is that wrist broken? I broke my right wrist this winter and had a full hard cast on it for 6 weeks. i was still able to ride just couldnt do nothin too crazy.

one of the bones in my wrist cracked then went out of place. My mom is a doctor and she says that they would've put me in a hard cast, but she knows how much of a pain in the butt they are so she just put me in the stupid little wrap thing. She says I got to leave it on for about 3 weeks. But I'm still gonna ride, just not as hard as usual.

Yeah, keeping the controls loose is something a friend told me after I already learned the hard way..........Also, stick to the stock handlebars. I bent mine on my raptor so put on a set of Renthals- The result: the next time I looped it instead of bending a $50 dollar set of bars it bent a $400 steering shaft!

That sucks^^. I washed the hole fourwheeler down this afternoon. I found that there really isnt much damage, just the bars were bent down and the bracket on the brake lever broke. Other than that I'm probably gonna have to order a new set of handguard mounts. All in all about an hour and 25 dollar fix.
