Lesson Learned... (w/ pics)

Was out riding my Shee on sunday afternoon in a sandy area of a rock quarry.... and I Saw a small hill I thought I could catch a little air off of. It was about 4 ft high or so. Kinda sandy and gravel covered. What I failed to see was the "friggin huge" rock that was hidden in the sand right at the base of the hill... :whoa:

 

I was doing about 25-30mph and hit the rock head on... Stopped me in my tracks!!! :wacko: I nearly flipped over the friggin' handlebars... luckily I managed to hold on.

 

Good news... no personal damage to self... <_<

 

Bad news... completely thrashed one of my A-arm guards and dented my lower left A-arm pretty bad. banghead

It's kinda hard to tell, but I think I may have even slightly bent it. The dent is the only thing I know for sure. Definately need new A-arm gaurds...don't think I can hammer this one out... New a-arm may be questionable though.

 

Lesson Learned....

1. Having A-arm guards don't make your A-arms invincible...

2. Check your rock quarry hills for ROCKS before attempting to jump a hill... :confused:

3. Better an A-arm GUARD than one of my A-Arms!! :D

 

Check out My Gallery for all the pics.. but here's a couple

Good story , man! Glad your ok...I wheelied up a hill next to a friend of mine and I hit a grass clob sticking out of the ground with my bearing carrier which put me in a freakin hand stand on my bars. When I got stoppedI looked back to see what I hit and saw my friends laying on the ground laughing and singing circus songs. GOSH!!! :wacko:
