so i finally met up with a guy from raptor forum that lives in the same town as i do... we decided to hit up some trails for some good iding time...so early in the ride were hauling a$$ and i tell myself that i dont think he's too familiar with these trails...as im thinking this i look up ahead where i know the trail T's off either left or right because theres a pond on the other side of the trail...well him going to fast he doesnt have the time or area to hit the brakes ...so all i see is him fly over the ridge and disapear..when i get over to where he is all I see is him about 30 feet from the top of the hill his rappy is in the pond with his mudlites floating his rear end of his quad up and hes swimming in the pond with a bummed wrist...lol after i asked him if he was ok ...i couldnt help myself but laugh.. after getting him out of the water i look around to see any bike tracks...well there werent any except at the top of the ridge...he flew in the air all the way down and landed in the pond! he was travelling about 60mph.. I had to go back to my truck and load my bike on the trailer and haul it all into the bush to go retrieve his bike out of this pond...luckily i have a winch on the front of my pathfinder so it went fairly well... so far it looks like he has a rad leak, some plastic damage ,broken front headlight and his throttle stays engaged when he's not pressing it... just thought id share this with you guys...hes fine btw...just a sore wrist...luckily he didnt get too hurt because that whole situation turned out to be fairly humourous...lol

nice ride Gianni_CRX!!!

[thatguy]

[700Rappy]

no only half the bike was under the water his back tires kept the rear end floating lol

After your quad goes under water and isn't running. It is a good idea to pull the spark plug and kick it over just to make sure no water is in the cylinder. Just to be on the safe side of things.
