Damn tree jumped out in front of me

[Jason350]

Well i was ridin today followin a buddy thru the trails. When we hit this berm a lil to fast, for me anyways. My rear shock is shot & it has a twist throttle on it. I think i landed on 1 rear wheel i kinda slid off & when i went to grab sum more bars i gave it more throttle and smashed it into a tree, my bumper is smashed all the way bak to the frame. I was thrown to the right barely cleared the tree and rolled thru a sticker patch.

You gotta watch out for those wild jumping trees man lol your alright though right?

 

[bones]

yeah i hate moving trees

 

[Lieuht]

Moving trees and not moving friends on slower bikes will be the death of us all

 

[dreded]

damn trees just cant stay still... and that's why they have thumb throttles lol.. I come from Dirt Bikes so used to HATE the thumb throttle but now that I am used to it it makes a lot more sense as I tend to hang off a quad at funny awkward angles to keep balance, on a Dirt Bike I sit in the seat and stick my feet out to keep balance

Damn! my twist throttle damn near killed me on the jumps at bulcher, i took mine off. rode street bikes for years, but the whiskey throttle off a jump made me damn near **** my pants. Glad you are ok man!

Yup, I feel ya, I had one jump out in front of me back in the day when I was on my Blaster. My right front tire scuffed a tree, pulled the bars towards the right, so naturally the throttle went wide open! She bucked up, threw me off & Damn near broke my thumb. I try to avoid things that jump out in front of me, I don't heal as quick as I used to, lol!
