My first real Wreck ** Pics**

[digitalhearing]

I thought I would share a couple of photo's of what my quad looks like after I dumped it end over end at Sandfest earlier this month.  I had it pinned in third i'm sure over 70 MPH and when I let off the gas it immediately started shaking, the front left tire broke off sending me hurrling through the air, I broke my shoulder blade and a few small bruises.  The good news is, I have all the parts to put it back together and the shoulder is healing quickly. 

This is the way it looked on Thursday before the big event

Sorry to hear the bad news Grant

Oh man thats bad Really nice bike though Good thing you made it out ok

[digitalhearing]

Thanks guys, Yea, the bike is healing up, i have a new steering stem and bars, these in the pics seem to be straight still, but I'm not going to risk it and went with a new set.  I rode my bicycle tonight to get a feel of some handlebars without any pain

I hope you heal very quickly so the bicycle doesn't get modded 

When will the shoulder blade be healed up?

[digitalhearing]

I have my first trip planned on Sept. 12th and 13th.  I'm sure by then my shoulder will be more than ready.  I like to hill shoot so I'm sure I can hold the bars straight for 4 seconds at a time

make sure you give it propper time... My bro learned that the hard way 2 summers ago. Broke his wrist. they put it in a cast where it came down into the palm. finger tips exposed.. He couldn't ride his wheeler.. so what does he do.. goes into my dads garage.. takes out the air grinder. cuts off the part that goes wehre his wheeler grips should go. and me and him went riding...

needless to say. he went in for his check up. Break hadn't healed. and the doc put it in a full cast

glad to hear you and the rapy are alright!

I've had a shoulder injury myself and it's very painful. Hang in there, and get well soon.

Glad to hear your healing fast!! Could have been a lot worse for you.....

So could you figure out what part broke first?  And does it have warranty on it? What's the next step for fixing it? Same parts or stronger ones?

I don't know what part broke first, I was kind of pre-occupied fending for my life as I flew through the air.  The tie rod broke in half and the heim's (all 4) broke off at the the frame.
I am rebuilding it and have almost all the parts to do it.  I have ordered 4 wheel addiction (stock width) upper and lower A arms, Heavy wall tie rods and a Titanium steering stem & big bar clamp.  Also a wider hillshooter axle to replace the narrow drag axle.
