Well, my only real bail with a trike is when i was racing my friend on his 250ES with my SX...it was a pretty small street (that street is right beside the forest, and the people who live there don't even care.) and we were going in the forest direction...well i was in 4th gear, 1 trike length in front of him....we had to brake if we didn't want to hit that big bump that ends 3 feet lower beside it. Well, I tried to brake, it didn't...(My cable just locked up, I don't know why) so i flied about 15 feet long and 5 feet high....and my friend saw me...in the air, my feet slid away and they got behind the trike, just like i was doing a superman...so when i landed, i knocked my both knees on the rack, and i rolled at the right of my 250. I was really surprised, the front wheel of my SX, after i had rolled down of it, hit a little rock so the wheel turned left....if it didn't do that, i would have probably been rolled over by my trike! So everything was fine, my handlebars were a little bent, but i was alright!!! (Just some pain and scratches on my knees and a little bit everywhere)
Go big or go home!!

This isn't my first wreck, but its the only one that i can remember. I had 10 minutes to kill before i had to leave to to pick up my g/f so i decided to take my tecate for a quick spin around my house. i had to slow down to go around my grape vines and make a sharp turn, and not being used to the power of the trike, i didn't lean forward enough when i took off after the turn. The next thing i knew i was on my back and the tecate was 20 feet in front of me. i guess i knocked myself out when my head hit the ground. the helmet probably saved me from some brain cell genocide that day. i haven't tried to do a wheelie on the tecate since then.

Well i guess i have been lucky so far as 3-wheeling goes, but i just bought a new 2004 susuki Z400 quad. Man it is fast great lil 4-wheeler. my friends took out on a a gravel road. i was doing a cookie, my friend who just did one beofre me circled about 3 times and called it quits. Natually i had to show him up. well i sure did. I held that damn cookie for almost 10 times around. one problem, this old road used to have concret under it. they stoped maintaing it and tossed a crap load of gravel over it. i had know idea at the time. just as i created the 10th circle the rear wheels grab that road and shot me straight in the air, i fell flat on my fat ass. the quad twiasted and went over side ways. bent the handle bars and scratched the rear grab bar. crasy i think i broke my tail bone, but did stop me from getting up and trying to get back on, the thing flooded out. I
t was a good tlearning time though
my 1st and only crash was a few weeks ago, i was on my ATC 90 and my friend was on his 200m...so im like"WANA RACE?!?" so we raced..he ate my 90 alive of course then he starts to slow down..so i pin it in 4th then the idiot turns right into my path befor he lookd to turn...so i slamed the brakes..and of course we where on wet grass...i slid into him doin 35mph or sumtin my front tire hit bounced of his tire/fender and i was launched 4ft in the air and flew for 10ft the trike flipd on top of its handel bars...and i landed on my right knee...all i got was a bruised knee..lol..but damn it was fuuuuun![]()

My friend hit the back brake and skidded on my knee a bit. Thanks to those big cushy tires (that actually caused the wild bounce to begin with) I didn't even get hurt too bad. Got right back up, walked it off, hopped back on and away we went.
I have never crashed in my life. Cept when me and one of my girl friends were jumping one day, well anyways, we were on my 250, and we hit this double i made, it launches you a good 7-8 feet and it runs about 23 or so feet. We landed it haha, and then we were screwing around in the tundra and we decided to tip it over for fun. So we did and landed in the soft tundra.
the end... exciting huh??
The below sentence is TRUE.
The above sentence is FALSE
I' haven't crashed yet...but...I had some governor problems on my scattracker and it was making the throttle stick wide open...my dad started it up after I told him about that (d'oh) and it took off (with no one on it), pulling a wheelstand the whole way until it hit some hedges, and one of the wheels was partially out of contact with the ground and making a pretty large rut...It bent the forks up though. Still haven't found out if they'ree bend-backable.
Oh yes and quite a few years ago he was doing some donuts on a scattracker on snow-covered dirt...wore through the snow and flipped it. *shrug* I didnt exactly see it.
