Oh man, is the frame bent or cracked beyond repair? Even more important question...are YOU alright? I don't know what hurts more, hitting the wall or seeing your quad in that kind of shape.

[Scro]

I haven't been able to tear into it, but so far the subframe is trashed(broken into 4 separate pieces), the tabs on the frame where the subframe mount are broke off, plastic and grab bar are trashed. Mid-pipe on the Rossier is also pinched and FUBAR, I believe.

Luckily none of the suspension was damaged.

[Scro]

Although I couldn't see what the quad was doing after I fell off, my buddies say it took a 15 foot fall directly on the grab bar:ermm:

If it doesn't kill me first:mad:

Thankfully, the only thing wrong with me is a sprained ankle and slight limp:eek2: Not one scratch, which surprised the hell out me.

[Scro]

The hill I was climbing, has never been attempted by a quad as far as we know. In this pic it's the hill to the right of the tree from the bottom. The face is a little more straight up, but the run is alot smoother.

I made it fine the first time, landing right on the edge, in the limiter:p. The second time, I didn't have near enough speed, and cased out on the edge. It was time to go flying then:cool: It felt like I was in the air forever.

I don't even want to think about what would happen, if I didn't have full gear on, especially boots.

[Scro]

Here's a better pic.

[Scro]

The guys that I was riding with have more pictures. I will post them when I recieve them. He said he has a pic of me reaching for the tree while I was sitting on the edge...should be a sweet owned pic...lol

Westpoint, TN...I thought my ankle was broke when it first happened, but after X-rays it was just a bad sprain.

[mod440ex]

where you racing or just goofin

[gncc025]

id love to try that hill. ever since i seen it in huevos 4 ive wanted to try it. is it a hard place to find Scro? Im not too far from it i dont think.

btw glad u didnt get hurt. quads can always be replaced but ur life cant lol. im sure u already know that but it cant be said enough.

We were just riding...it's been a hill I've wanted to hit for a long time. We spent all morning smoothing the face, and get both sides equal. If we hadn't, it probably would have thrown me into the tree. It throws you straight now, but the angle is not laid back enough to get you completely up to the flat.

Oh yeah, she will be back together soon:devil: I still have the chrome subframe, mounted to the other frame I trashed...so no need to look for that.

The frame can be welded back up...so as far as I can tell, all I will need is a midpipe for the Rossier, set of plastics, and a few odd and end pieces/bolts.

[honda300EXtreme]

damn man thats insane... glad your ok though....

[whoamack22]

Thats crazy

[honda_524]

I give you props for even trying to get up that lol.

[450Rchaser]

Ive been to Westpoint many time. I havent tried the wall but Ive tried alot of the other steep hills. Ive heard of other quads trying it. Never actually seen anybody try it. The Bowl is fun, Pebble hill is prettty cool, and we always jump the big log down by the bridge into the creek right before we leave.

[450Rchaser]

Not the wall, but it was steep enough that it shot me straight up.

[Scro]

I decided to tear into her today and find out what the damage really was.

I think this about sums it up:p

[Scro]

It's not as bad as I had thought:p

[Scro]

I'm just glad the frame wasn't tweaked. Only thing wrong with it was a broken tab for the subframe, which will be welded back up.

[Scro]

Replacement/spare parts going on

[Scro]

I guess it paid off to keep all the parts from the last quad I totalled.:macho

[Scro]

The HMF will do until I find a header for the Rossier.

[honda300EXtreme]

man, i dont even like looking at that.....


good thing ya got spare parts eh?

[Scro]

FUBAR LIST:

subframe
rear plastics
air box
seat
header

If you have any of these parts laying around, let me know:cool: If I can get these parts, and my ankle heals...I should be ready to ride this weekend...lol:devil:

[smartypants]

stupid not only hurts it's expensive......:eek2:

[450Rchaser]

We are headed to westpoint Saturday morning.

thanks goodness the suspension wasn't harmed!

[450Rchaser]

Bike going off the wall.

[450Rchaser]

There was some guys at westpoint yesterday talking about a black 450 that didnt make it up.They said u had been up College & Airborne too. Those hills are crazy! They pointed out a piece of bark missing on a tree. It was suppose to be some of your handy work.

[450Rchaser]

This is right next to where u go down step 2. Jacob decided to jump off.

[ShiftFMX]

Thats Not Jacob Gerweck is it?? If it is, Thats my cousin, Who has a stock black 450r and lives right by west point :huh

lol...yeah the bark missing is a reminder to never try College again..lol

[450Rchaser]

Yeah College is pretty ridiculous for a 4wheeler. I would try airborne if it wasnt such a long hill and the 3-4 ft. vertical climb at the top. I mite try it when i take my rhino down there so I will have something to haul my 4 wheeler back to the truck with

[400EXtreme]

damn anyone got any more pictures or videos of this wall.

[450Rchaser]

I took a vid of the bike going up it but it somehow got erased. The wall is not the steepest hill out there.

If you are standing at the top of the wall looking down, the hill to the left of the tree with the boards at the face, is where I flipped.

[700bRad]

Wish I lived closer because I would love to shoot the wall! doesnt look to bad except the last 15ft which is straight up and down. This is a hill we have in my woods called Little Boy. at the top is a nasty lip/hump that is straight up and down. u MUST have a 450 for this hill. many have tried and myself and another have only made it. raptors, 400's, and all else roll. where im at right there at the bottom, im backed up against a creek bed bank, so thats all the run you have. rev it out and dump the clutch!

Little Boy.

[450Rchaser]

Well that does look like a fun hill but I dont see why people cant make it up. You cant stand at the top or bottom of the hills at Westpoint. I do believe my 416ex would make it up that.

[700bRad]

that pic was takin at about 1/2 way up it. and you only have about a 10 foot run at it. at the top we rope 2 people in with a pulley strap and a hook so they can slide down and hook your front bumper, it was a great idea and has came in usefull more then once! ill post a video of my buddy trying to shoot it on his 250f, gets kinda interesting.

[krt400ex]

wow, that really sux. right now, if that had happened to me, i wouldnt be fixin it for quite a few months.

looks like the hipers and flex bars held up well though :p

hills look very decieving behind the camera. i have a vid of me shooting a small hill that is nearly straight up and down, but in the camera it looks like nothing

I agree pictures do not even do justice for how steep some of these hills we see are.

lol o please be my guest, already killed 2 400's on this thing. ill just make sure i have my camera out there, and have the tractor ready at the bottom :-)

[450Rchaser]

Like most conversations end on here. Its not the ride its the rider. Ill take my 400 anywhere ill take my 450.

too true. i take my machine in places that some 4x4's wouldnt go

[450Rchaser]

There's not much differnce between a slightly built 400 and a 450 unless u wanna get it out on a MX track. Trail riding is pretty close.
