I had just gotten to the Winchester Bay area in Oregon to do some riding on the 18th. I was trying to catch up to some friends when I was going down a step dune a little too fast. I already had the back locked up and grabbed a little front break to so slow me down when only the right wheel instantly locked. It threw the quad sideways tossing me off and I fell like 15 feet to the bottom. I landed on my left arm knocking the air out of me and I started making the cool sound like "augughguhghgcchhhhh!" five time before I could get any air in, you know the sound you hear thinking to yourself I really $ucked up! Anyways the quad was in perfect shape, the bars were pressed down a bit but still rideable. I tell you those RATH Nerfs really saved my plastic. The next day my ribbs were still killing me so my friends took me to the hospital at Coos Bay, they did an XRay and said nothing was broke and gave me a shot of morphine in my ass and some pills in my hand. So I countinued to ride. Well when I woke up a few days later back at home I could harldly breath, seems I did have 2 broken ribs that they were able to catch on a CT and a little bit of lung was colpasing. Well I'm fine now as long as I don't sneeze or cough. Anyone else notice their front breaks aren't balanced?
