ATVOBSESSION

Went for ride with fish and some new riders. PG stuff but got (2) tip overs and helped winch out a stuck truck with atvs. Got pics.

Cool lookin ride!

So who's the Hot Dog in the white Chevy??

Almost felt like I was right there

Another 90 degrees...then I'd believe it.

Hey it landed on its feet

I didn't but the quad did.

Nice, this one is my favorite:



What's the story on the tip overs?

I was wondering what the story was on this too.

The story on both turnovers was they were both off camber situations also one of the riders was inexperienced.

The chevy driver was a rancher that lives down by the staging area. Him and his wife got stuck and walked 5mi back home in the middle of the night. Drive back up in another truck to try recovery but could not get out using come-a-long.
He was just about to drive back to the farm and get his backhoe and use it to pull the chevy out when we came along.

Thanks, that makes sense all right. Back when the star of my videos (Flyin Boy) didn't know a quad from a quack, I made the mistake of piling my wife's quad full of all kinds of crap, forgetting to tell him about shifting his weight uphill, plopping him on the quad, and leading him across an off-camber trail that didn't look all that bad to me. Not my best idea ever



Trooper that he was, he jumped and tumbled right down that scree slope like a champ when it flopped over. He didn't cry and didn't even bleed all that much. Which was good, because we didn't have all that many bandages.

My wife was mad (of course) when we got back 5-ish days later, but she would have been even more mad if it hadn't been for that little tree that kept her Grizzly from rolling all the way into the canyon. Women...
