too bad i dont have pictures. ive never been this sore in my life. i was going up a gigantic hill, and its got a lip at the top great for air. well i pinned it about 3/4 the way up, the spedometer jumped to approx. 70 or so and the front end got caught up in the wind. it was cool at first but considering theres not much weight, the front end kept on going. so i had to bail and the sled is now totalled. thats too bad...

actually im glad im ok, when it tipped straight in the air, i launched myself off backwards. the sled continued to turn upside down...i didnt catch how it got totaled because i was focused on lot losing any limbs...but no windshield left, entire right side of the hood is smashed in and some is ripped off, the suspension is completely done somehow. its kinda a bummer.

Grabbing the break will bring down the front end also. Doesn't work as well as on motorcycles, but it does work.

WOW, i'm really glad you are all right. sounds like you need to take it into the barn & get some buds & a box of beer & get that puppy going again, good luck.

I know guy that race moto-cross that says it helps a ton on bikes. And if ya watch the races on TV you can see them tap the rear brake when jumpin the doubles and tripples.
