How to roll a perfectly good machine down a steep hill in 6 easy steps

[greyarabian]

6 Easy Steps to Follow When Learning How To Roll Your 3 Wheeler:

1. Pick a machine much heavier than yourself (for me, P3)
2. Be totally green and have really no idea how to ride to begin with
3. Go at the hill at an angle and try to turn into the ruts
4. When tipping begins, lunge in justified fear for your life off of the machine
5. Tumble ass over tea kettle and slam scared to death into a fence at the end of the hill while the machine careen's down the hill after you in a tumbling fury (luckily landing next to you instead of on top of you)
6. Make it a very public display of such stupidity (such as at Trike Fest 2012)

Hello! My name is Amanda. I am Big Mike's girlfriend. I never knew these awesome machine's existed before I met Mike over a year ago. Since then he has been attempting to train me to ride these metal tripods of death lol and we thought he was succesful until my moronic display of lovely ass over tea kettling at TF2012 proved us wrong lmao. I am new to 3WW. Please accept me into your graces lol. I no longer like the P3 as one could imagine...I think I will stick with Mike's 250sx! At least that little machine hasn't tried to kill me yet! (thanks to those guys who did come running to my rescue! Very gallant of you all!) Regards, greyarabian

Welcome! and please excuse our rude commentary from time to time. Most of us aren't house trained! LoL!

Thanks Gus! It was quite a new feeling, typically I ride horses, not machines lol. And to you Chris, no worries! I am far from house trained lol!

[gus]

You wouldn't by any chance took any picture of your poor trike did you lol? Hopefully it wasn't to damage

[Big Mike]

No it wasnt too damaged, broke the rear brake perch and twisted the handlebars in the mounts, nothing Howdy the master P3 technician couldnt fix right @ Trikefest. Thankfully.

These things are known to kill... You're lucky the P3 has bad aim.... Welcome to the board!

Welcome! P3's are heavy but a 250sx will do the same thing in the same situation haha :D

I hope to be at TF13 and meet most of you

You were no worse for the wear, and we are all thankful for that. My little sis rolled my 250es down the exact same hill as you as was a little more beat up(so was the 250es).
