WELL, don't even know how to explain the jump - basically my old tabletop was transformed backwards into a makeshift double double (for lack of better motocross terms) I rolled the the 1st ramp thinking i would be able to gain enough speed in 2nd gear (approx 25ft) on the table top to ramp and clear the landing approx the same distance. Well right before I hit while still on the tabletop I noticed my quad boggin' down even tho I had it pinned so yah... not enuf momentum and I thought well SURELY I can STILL MAKE IT... so I launched it and yah - I landed it flatter than a pancake and it almost launched me clear over the front of the handlebars!! Needless to say I held on and so did my throttle thumb - oh yah not good - the best that I can remember is still leaning over my handlebars, at this point I"m leaning on the leftside of my bars so you know which direction my quad's going - so with that momentum built up I go flying off sideways (I think!!!!!) and my quad of course follows suit (what quad DOESN'T chase ya!) I don't know how many times I rolled and slid but landed on my side came to a stop and didn't EVEN open my eyes I just assumed the "OMG my quads going to crush me" position and waited. My tether kill worked thank goodness! I opened my eyes to see Baby Quad on its side with the 10 nosepiece lookin' right at me not even 2 ft. away from me.... and she's bleedin' pretty bad (gas) :(..... Needless to say I rolled over onto my back looked up at the clear blue sky and thought "what a beautiful day" lol~ Sat up and confusingly wondered how the HECK I ended up more than 50 ft. away from the base of the landing!!! I was like all confused because all I had remembered was casing the jump and then being down on the ground. SO all in all I wound up with a scraped/bruised up arm and a bruised hip, thank God nothing else!!! But Baby Quad took one for the team with a twisted steering stem, twisted handlebars and a bent tie rod and a broken handguard... she looks pretty sad right now... but better her than me... she can be fixed A LOT easier and A LOT quicker.... So much for riding at Walnut this weekend lol~ all's good... Pix are in my wreck folder.
