thegroup Posted February 21, 2006 Report Posted February 21, 2006 yesterday, 2 of my buddies and i went riding. one has a raptor, the other just picked up his new (to him, '88) banshee the night before, and i borrowed another friends YFZ(my '98 shee is still down ). the bad luck started when my buddy with the raptor was riding a wheelie across a field next to my house. i t doesnt have a wheelie bar(broke off months ago), he went back to far and couldnt get his foot on the brake in time. rolled it over and almost ripped the back finder off the left side. got it fix with baling wire and went on our merry way. next it was my turn to crash. i went down a trail or what i thought was a trail and found out it was a deadend. there was a 3ft lege and i figured "what the hell, ill just jump off and meet back up top with u guys" went to jump off, the front tire left the edge, i hit the gas to keep it going and it STALLS! throws me over the bars, bursed my chine, spraned my wrist and the YFZ landed on its lid. didnt hurt the quad, but got me pretty good. got it back on its wheels and went riding again. later on, i went off a little side trail and my buddy with the raptor was helping me walk it down. i got down and rode back to the top of the hill just opposite of where the raptor was and found out the he went a different way then me, caught a root while easing down the hill and filpped. hes alright, just a little sore and bursed. like the title says "raptor, 2 ; YFZ 1; banshee 0" the reasont he banshee has 0 was b/c this was my buddy's 1st quad and he was taking it real easy, taking short-cut trail, easying the throttle, just getting a feel for her. one hell of a day ill say Quote
