SouperSport Posted December 15, 2004 Report Posted December 15, 2004 (edited) 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... I was doing about 25-30mph and hit the rock head on... Stopped me in my tracks!!! 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. 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... 3. Better an A-arm GUARD than one of my A-Arms!! Check out My Gallery for all the pics.. but here's a couple Edited December 15, 2004 by SouperSport Quote

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!!! Quote
Bio-Hazard shee Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 Yea, you are pretty lucky, next time get off and go look at the are first before riding over it to catch some air, cause in the end, you pay big time Quote
