    Nasty Spill Today

    Earlier today I was out making trails with my dad and we came upon a steep hill that was about 100 feet high. I dared him to climb it and he did(he has a rancher 4x4) he bounced up with ease. Then I went to go up so I go up and spin out, turn sideways and the quad rolled down the hill 5 times. The only thing that got hurt was my back and the brake lever is now shaped like an "L".

    here's a tip.

    loosen all the stuff on your bar's so that next time you roll it.
    the leaver's will just twist around the bar's instead bending.
    then all you gatta do is loosen the screw a little bring em' back up into place and tighten the screw back a little. tighten it just enugh to where it won't move but if you put enught force on it, it will move. saved me in the past.
