Well, today i went riding with a couple of buddies, and we made our way to a ski lodge for a warm up/bite to eat. Well on the way there we took it easy, and ran across a really nice field. Good soft snow. Well any ways, When we came home i said to my buddies "I am going to open her up on that field." we came up on the field, i found my track, got right beside it then my friends both took off. I put it to the bar and was flying about 85 mph, and then i saw a drift. I guess when we came over i never really even felt it. Well up my sled went, the guy beside me said my ### end was at least 10 feet up in the air and my sled was straight up and down. Well i hit the brakes, brought the nose down and landed a hard landing. My speedo came out of the engine, and in the back of the headlight, the plastic backing came off of the light and the light smashed. i hadda ride 15 miles home with out a light, thank god for a full moon.

Well i didn't break the sled, and i didn't brake my self. But next time i will be sure to check BOTH ways before i do a speed run. :withstupid: :withstupid:
