Knee cut is very impressive ..pictures please for those who havent seen it.......

[johnnyboy]

Knee is in a fine state, got me old mate trigger to give it a good old clean out with the pressure washer!! got nagged at cos I wont go and get it stitched up and then one of the kids jumped on it and set it off bleeding again so dragged him off to bintead swamp to use him as some ballast to start filling the bog in (pictures please) Malc cant see me makeing it 2mo and trig believe it or not has bent his rear axel so thats gotta come apart for a looksy dont know if we can straighten it if not got to sourse another

[evilbrown]

what quad has he got as i have a standard rear axel laying around.

raptor 660 one, forgot to add that.

[johnnyboy]

QZ 450 its only bent about 2mm max but it sure makes the wheels wobble

[Bugrider]

[RED PRED]

Bloody hell lol
That is wicked Johnny, the amount of claret at Popham was bad enough !
Bent axle, what the hell did you do to get that ?

[outlander]

I did notice the left wheel seemed to be wobbleing a bit but put it down to the tyre not being perfect.
Nice knee Johnny, are you sure nothing needs to be done in there while its open.

[RED PRED]

Its not his brain Trevor LOL

[two wheels short]

Your knee actually looks a bit like Trigger when he squints:agree:

[two wheels short]

Oh and how the hell do you get from windows movie maker to youtube, cant seem to save the clip and transfer it:brick:

[RED PRED]

Sorry Carl, cant help there

[James]

you have to go to file then 'publish movie' i think it was...publish something then when youve done that it should go on to youtube :)

[two wheels short]

I'll give that another go james, tried it twice and both times it locked out everything:faint:

We had a good ride today. No casualties. We ended up at devils puchbowl.
hav,nt been there for over a year as last time we swore we would never do them devils steps ever again !
Can get access to all the byways again now. We done some stupidly big hill climbs through the woods, was a long way up and very steep.
We also tackled the "steps" again. horrible, the clip shows raptorman going up one of many but the clip also fails to show how steep and large the rocks are.
Did the whoops in the sand over the other side of rushmoor common too.
would strongly advise against inexperienced riders doing what we did as there is a very high risk of serious injury and extreme damage to ones quad.

[yellow peril]

I've been down them before, not too sure about going up them though and your right they are steep and damn big rocks too:D

[johnnyboy]

Looks like a good ride shame about my knee or I would of been there

[RED PRED]

Dave, are you a professional model ?
Looks like fun .

[Big Jim]

That's the problem with vids & pics, they never show how steep things actually are!!

Everyone always says they will ride up the Widowmaker at Tom's Farm, until you get there and see how steep it is!!!

I bet those steps are a nightmare to ride up!!

Note to Graham, maybe we go down them instead!!!!!!!!!!

[secret solo]

going down them could be even worse as you run a very high risk of going over the bars and the quad then following through. (splat)
I agree that widowmaker does not look bad in all the 100,s of vid clips. never seen it but can believe how steep it is.

[Big Jim]

We went down some waterfall type drops which are probably similar to those steps, and we held the backs of the quads with a rope as we went down, wouldn't have attempted to ride down without the ropes, no way!!

I nearly went over the handlebars yesterday, tried to go over a stream that was wider & deeper than it looks too fast, the front of the quad fell in and I flew forward, bent the indicator bracket & fell on the accelerator lever so the wheels all spun at a million miles an hour and covered me in mud, thank god no one had a camera then!!! Wouldn't want to go right over the handlebars, that was bad enough :( I need a drivers airbag !!

Gawd damm ! Where's a video camera when you need one....

[RED PRED]

Those guys probably have lots of cash to spare, most of us lot would not risk damage to our quads because of the money it takes to mend them :o

[secret solo]

Lots of cash?? i would say they have huge nads, driving up a mountain side like that.. I think that would scare the pants off me in someone elses vehicle to wreck

Being cleaned after Pic Woods :)

You have got to have some pretty big balls to do that crazy stuff, I get scared riding up kerbs!

[RED PRED]

The reason I did not state large balls is because I am packing the kind of tackle you would normally see on a grand national winner LOL

[secret solo]

stirrups? :crazy:

[two wheels short]

Its not down to big balls, its down to having a roll cage and full harness. You cant fall off a 4WD................. in fact i think there all a bunch of poofs:cheer2:

Why are we all messing around on quads then?:kiss:

[James]

yeah, these quads are very dangerous. Jim had a near death experience when crossing a 2 foot moat

[two wheels short]

Hows Jim gonna cope crossing the solent then!!!!!
Best get him some water wings:bathbaby:
