Default Dear diary.

Just this last monday on labor day. I got to see some new trails at Bull creek. & they Kicked ass!! After about a hour, up the trail, my rig was tipping backwards from a lighter battery, instead of the big 7.4 6 cell. Instead I used. a flat 9.6 8 cell aaa pack, weighed half the weight. About 1;/2 way up, my rig flipped backwards, & started to roll& roll,& roll, down hill ,hard ! So, I went down after it, What happens, I lost my footing ... On the way down, I fell/rolled and broke my right forearm . what sucked worse , is I saw the bone snap & felt "the PoP" And wham !!!! bent broke wrist. I never caught the rig, Not Just a week past,a roll cage got baught for $25.00( a steel roll cage) and installed to protect it from, just this. I forgot.... The steel roll cage did it's job.The rig had less than 20 new dents in it,( i added alum. top and side plates.) The rig came out better than I did.. So. I'm going to post, some of the surgery/xray, pics from a dvd they give you for entertainment reasons. Maybe, a short vid So maybe ya'll will get to see, how commited I am So in about 2-3 wks I'll have screws and a plate, the doc wants me to start using it just after 2 week (the plate is the cast,) I'll be out of the cast, and driving my rig(WWOOOOOHHOOO FREEDOM!!!!!!)I'll show pics of the new panels & Integen cage. pics will be comming,patients plse...

Sorry to hear that,,,,,,,,move this to "Chit Chat" tho. There's really no tech since it doesn't talk about what kind of rig you rolled. (not that it would be tech either)
