That is the crash i had that busted my knee pretty good and i only bent my running board a little... however the shocks arent as good either!

Geez, that looks, (and especially sounded) like it hurt real bad. Glad you're ok.

wow, you really overshoot the landing. just a little too much speed maybe. goona try it again next year?

Yeah will try again all summer long if we get the woodchip course all set up!

man, glad to hear you werent hurt worse than you were,,, it did sound really bad and you got a mean limp when you came back up,,, what did you do to your knee????

Yipes, glad your okay. Not the prettiest thing I've ever witnessed.

Looks like some major air. Any idea how high you got?

Wow, ...that wasn't pretty! I can hear someone saying "Oh No" in the video. Seems like you got some good air though and a cool video.

no wonder why some find it hard to trust that a used sled has been looked after and not mistreated.

ouch

I always wonder what abuse my used sleds were put through. However, I think that if a sled was beat around too much it will show, regardless of how well they are made :wink:

For the knee injury, i dont know i never went to the doctors... maybe if it still hurts at the end of the summer. I'm not one for doctors so unless i'm dying i dont go. And yeah haha crashing is fun but it ruined that day cuz i didnt get to hit it again! Also i have no idea how high i went but it was up there... the ramp was 8.5ft high and the landing was about 12 so you can guess.

atleast u got a tiny bit of the landing. :lol: i'm sure the ice would have been a lot worse!! :tongue: u just gotta joke around about stuff like that. i did something a lot worse than that last year. i built a fairly big jump on our lake (bout the same size as your ramp) and then didnt fully check out where i was gunna land. looked like a decent downslope with a good 3 feet of powder. first run i figured id just feel out the jump and then after that id pick up some more speed and get more, and more air. well, it only took 1 jump. i hit it going faster than i should have and ended up a good 75 feet away from the jump and landed on a stump under the snow. it was like hitting a brick wall. :crazy: i was more worried about my sled being totalled than my bruised ribs and cut up legs. good thing for a tek-vest or i would have had massive internal injuries. i ended up folding the steering post over onto the hood (it was reinforced with a steel tube to keep from bending) and ripping off the whole right side of my sled. horrible accident at the time, but now i just laugh about it. kinda dumb, but nothing to worry about!! :thumbsup:
