dumb but fun, we were out muddin me holding down shotty drinking and havin a good ole time, when the driver gets a great idea to jump a little knoll, well we get our speed up slippin through all the mud, jump the knoll and upon landing the back end kicks around and we proceed to roll a couple time, well i thought it a good idea to put my seat belt on before this little great idea hit he didn't, he was fine just a little mad, but through the rolls i never spilled one drop out of that bottle, he looks up at me when the truck finally rests, and asks are you alright i said yep, then his next words i swear to God is the beer alright. i say yep, he said you spill your beer i say nope, he looks up say really... i say yep he say dang that professional there.

this past winter after plowing the driveway - i was running the quad up and down the driveway to recharge the battery.. well the cable from the winch parted while i was going about 15 mph.. the plow dug into the stone in the driveway and catapulted me over the handlebars and the quad was right behind me in the air - all i could think of - here comes 600# of 4 wheeler right behind me - lucky for me the quad didn't fly as far as I did.. bent the handle bars alittle. and hurt my pride some!!! replaced the cable that same day..lesson learned - check your cable on your winch and replace it if frayed........

my first accident was when i was riding my 100cc dirtbike i had it maxed out in a high grassy feild and the foot brake hit a tree stump and the bike stoped dead. i did a complete front flip over the handlebars landed on my feet and slid about 15 feet in the wet grass still standing! i turned around and the bike was still upright too! i wish i had it on tape it was a once in a lifetime crash

First and only (knock wood) bit of terror, was when I figured out my little 220 Bayou didn't have enough engine braking when going back down the same steep, wooded hill that it had just went up without any problems.
Saplings make fairly good braking systems in a pinch, IF you can hang onto the handlebars.
Since that episode some years back, I cut a trail to get up on top that includes a more gradual climb across the face of the hill at an angle.
