I discovered the fine line between brave and stupid.

Really tough spot I got it in and over it went. It threw me down the mountain and thankfully a tree stopped it before too much speed built up.

So so so glad I'm alive.

Lesson learned!!!!!

The bike survived ok. It on some high mountain private land. Had to leave till Monday to get enough rigging to pull it out. It's on all fours pointing up hill.

Feels weird leaving it but it's about as hidden as can be.

Glad you are OK. I always look at an obstacle and tell myself "I think I can". After I try it and fail I look at it again and say "I thought I could". At this point I shake my head and say "I think if I would have done this instead of......." and the whole process starts over.

Ever try to sleep after a near miss like that and it keeps replaying over and over in your head? I have crash anxiety.

I think I really jacked up my knee. I can barely walk this morning.

how high up were you ?

The hill is about 200 yards.

I was at the half way point. Trying to cut across it sideways. Luckily the quad hit a tree within 25 feet. I stopped shortly after. It's one of those hills that gets progressively steeper towards the bottom. It's thick with brush so it's hard to gauge the incline in parts and I def guessed wrong.

So my sister is letting me borrow there rancher that has a winch to go pull it out of the hole.

Any tips on what to do and NOT to do

I planned on anchoring the winch quad to a tree from its hitch ball and maybe walking along side my quad up the hill.

I'm gonna have to have a long extension rope for sure and take it in steps.

It is retrieved. 2 hours of careful winching. Very steep and easy going.

After all the rolling and tree slamming

NOTHING wrong with it. 25 foot winch cable and 2 100 foot ropes.

I cleaned out the air cleaner and the housing and I'm off and riding.

Feels so so good to have it back in the garage.

Well I am glad to see you are OK. The thing is once you wreck you have to get right back on and ride. The same things happened to me when I rolled my quad, you second guess everything. You just need to start riding again and get your confidence back.

Leave the quad that is winching running and maybe you can borrow a snatch block if it is a steep incline to take some of the pressure off of the cable. Also get some type of wheel chock to put under your quads tires when you go to re rig the cable for the next pull. Do it in stages and give the winch a break in between so you don't overheat the winch.

that is a great view. good thing it stopped when it did. thoughs trees probably would have torn it all up. good that everything worked out and you and your quad are ok.

      Fuel Line PSI Excessive / 2015 Arctic Cat XR 550 XT (Fuel Injected)
      By DonB
      Had fire start in muffler due to failing fuel pump &/or fuel pressure regulator.  Must I spend the $750+ for a new assembly from Arctic Cat?!?  Here's what I've tried so far.
      Replaced fuel pump & regulator - both from Quantum. PSI is 60 rather than the 42 the dealer advises it should be, so problem persists.  I've now twice replaced the Quantum regulator & discussed w/ Quantum. They advise that they don't have an alternative regulator that would bring PSI down to 42. I've tried several in-line, adjustable pressure regulators but they either didn't work or I couldn't get a constant pressure from them. FYI, I've only tried the adjustable regulators for Fuel Injected engines however, it seems that they require vacuum to function properly.  When I can temporarily get the PSI right, everything works great.  Anyone else ever dealt with this problem, and, if so how did you fix it?  Perhaps I should adapt the fuel system to include a gas tank return line?
      Any insights are greatly appreciated, Don

      2005 500 Scrambler acting up above idle speed need help
      By p5200
      I added more fresh gas it sat one day now, it's acting up again. Before cleaning out carburetor it wouldn't idle good and had gas leaks from carburetor. Now it idles pretty good but, if I increase throttle speed at a certain amount it starts missing bad. I'm going to try and post a short video. Just about ready to give up on this thing.😒  you can see reflection perking in video.
