Have to love running over you own leg or foot, too funny.

There is something about nerf bars that seem to save my feet

Thats whats nice about the Scrammy.........floor boards.

And unless you are the incredible hulk, be careful putting your foot down, you could snap your leg. I've seen it.

I dont know about no hulk but when I first started on these 4 wheelers I naturally just did what I was conditioned to do on the dirt bikes, and it can take a few times to remember what a bad idea that is

Worst power slide was when I had my 300ex which was pretty mint for a 96. I was racing with my cousin who had his KTM125 out in our field. Took the turn in 3rd and then the back end started going slid into a small root and felt it starting to go over and fast. I bailed the quad flipped about 5 times and I just kept rolling trying to stay out of the way. Ended up with a bunch of cuts and bruises bent the handle bars scratched the plastic and bent the whole headlight bracket and key holder. Drove to the house straightened the bars and went back out.

a few months ago i am doing it again at one of my old riding spots. this time around a puddle. well all i remember is flying around the huge puddle in the water sliding and then finding myself face down in the puddle(which was about 4 feet deep in the middle) remember rolling over and seeing the quad upside down in the puddle still running and jack flying up going are you ok!! well bent the stock bars almost straight down to the fender and luckily that was all that was damaged. i wasn't really hurt just extremely sore the next day. then we leave to go back to my truck to find the local pd sitting outside the trail where my truck is parked doing radar. they were about 10 - 15 feet from the back of my trailer and had no idea. we sat there for about 25 minutes and they finially left. threw the quads up and left
