When my nephew tells me he's goin off roadin on quads with his buddies I tell him "Lets not be naming any hills. Theres a hill behind my house that we call the widow maker because of his dad.

I assume his father died on the hill?

Bent shock, broken lower ball joint, front axle pulled part at the outer cv, broken upper a-arms bolt. We put it back together in the rain and rode it the rest of the day. The crew at top of the world was dumbfounded whe we pulled up as they watched the video on Facebook.

The b-pillar was overlapping the rear doors.

I remember seeing it most impressive it still rolled

WoW. Sounds like quite the day to remember..... The easy rides get forgotten.

No. But he sure F#@$ed up. Had to take him to the hospital with a bruise the size of a basketball on his side. Not to mention a lil damage to his Fourtrax 300 4x4.
He was a newb and tried following me. I was on an 84 TRX200 2wheel drive.gettin er done. That was a long time ago.

🤔...... shouldn't it be called "Bruise maker" then? 🤷‍♂️

When I took it to copart it was on stock can-am wheels with bald tires and a crushed roof. The guy fired up the loader and was going to grab it off my trailer. I started it up, threw it in reverse and backed off the trailer without grabbing the ramps. He said he would have never guessed it ran

Possibly, but it doesnt sound as good.

He earned it. There were 3 souls aboard. The video doesn't do it justice. That sinking feeling watching that in person was unreal. The front bumper standing up to the bottom of that rock was probably 20' or better easily

If I'm gonna hill climb I do it on a bike, bailing is a whole lot easier. Along with keeping the front end down.

And a trials bike at that 👍

In a pioneer it would be hard to grab N or R quick enough to get the front end down in time

Im not saying I'd try it again but it is impressive how much better Pioneers climb being just 3" longer with offset arms. My new machine seems to hop less with Elkas than the Fox shocks too

In a situation like that I don't even know if I would remember reverse

Maybe we need some sort of pressure switch mounted in the seat that monitors Pucker Factor and automatically shifts to R or N based on how much seat distortion is detected.

Great idea! Something that can detect eyes wide open, and asshole slammed shut.

The E brand is a bad word around here!

Plenty of guys willing to spend almost as much just to say they got something else
