I ride in the hills near Vega, AB. Canada, for those of you who dont know. Great sand hills and tree shooting, but it can get really busy there. on the May long weekend we have over 4300 people around.
this year, one motorbike comes jumping out of the trees, and t-bones another bike. the bike literally broke in half. Now one rider is dead and the other is paralyzed from the neck down for life.
just something to thinnk about.:eek:
That sort of thing happend around here about ayear ago in the quarries.......bike hit quad head on, broken collar bones and concusions but nothing that serious......
man, at our place, we had a banshee and a yz 250 hit head on on a sand flat, the handlebar of the bike was snapped off on the banshees hood, one of them had to be airlifted out, the banshee guy i belive, the dirtbike guy speared him in the chest, i watched the dirtbiker go around a turn, i went down the turn a few min later, and there they wer, wit a croud around them
My aunt got hit by a dirt bike at coos bay almost two weeks ago. busted the bars on her shee and broke her arm. We are thankful it was nothin worse.
That kinda stuff happens in Glamis at least once a month and maybe 2-3 times in one busy holidasy weekend. That's one reason why on holiday weekends I follow some of my friends while they go in there Jeeps. If a Bike Quad or Rail comes over a dune without us knowing, the Jeep stands way more of a chance than we do on our quads...
the guy that got parylized was actually a relative of mine and he was coming around a corner, too bad for him, i feel sorry for him and his bike did break in half, so be carefull people.:( :( :( :(
oh and i don't think the guy died, just badly injured, the guy that was parylized had broken legs and arms and back and spleen, and also parilyzed
