A quad. Or else you smash your titanium silencer, bend your subframe and crack your airbox.

I was riding at our little track today, and I decided to make one of my double doubles a quad. Didn't work. I tripled it fine, then went for the quad. I hit it too fast to do the triple, but obviously not quick enough to make the quad :laugh:

Cased it HARD, wadded equally as hard. I bottomed prettybad, i suppose, because my rear tire scraped my rear fender, and i don't think that's normal? well, anyway, it flipped end over end, eventually landing on the side. ho well :blah:


Heres the damage.

The pipe is dented in 3 spots.

And you can kinda see where the tire rubbed against the pipe at the bottom front, it's a big black mark

A lot of bikes rub fender... all depends on ride height and suspension setup.

I was racing at an arenacross race a few months ago and bent my sub frame crushed my air box dented my pipe and swingarm, and crushed an airfilter because my rear shock decided to just completely come apart on a jump. Sad thing is I didnt notice it was apart untill I hit a step on step off. We have it on tape my swingarm almost curled under my frame when I landed.

So i guess it's about 80 feet total. I always try to come back way too fast after injuries, and stuff like this happens.


u have all these big name sponsers and you barely ride? Yeah. I've been hurt alot, so what can I do? I have a few friends in high places, so I get to keep the sponsors threw thick and thin, pretty much. A good friend of mine is a pro MX rider, so he keeps me hooked up with Pro Circuit, Gaerne, and One Industries helmets. For Utopia, Renthal, and Sunline, they don't neccisarily look at how much or how well you do racing, but how you represent them off the track. I sent in my resume to them again for 06, and they all stuck by me. I can't thank Jason McCormick at Utopia enough for all the help he's given me.
