Im sure many saw this.
Today at sand mountain, i lined up at the drag strip,
started in 2nd,when i got into 3rd the front lifted, shifted into 4th baike came back down and BAM... tumble, tumble, flip, flip, flip... tire here, tire there...it even knocked my shoes off... really it did...   it seems when i landed the wheelie the right spindle broke. which of course dug into the sand sending me sailing through the air. the bike rolled, rolled,and rolled somemore breaking the left spindel off the bike..  I just bought this new front end kit, A arms, tierods and spindles... made from 4130 chromoly. they went 50ft before breaking..they are supposed to be super light and super strong... until i contact this company and show them the pics ill withhold thier name. But i would like to thank the 15 or so folks who rushed up to me to make sure i was alright.

     Mike Walker was one of the first, i didnt get to thank him then so i would like to thank him now.. I had cobwebs in my head something bad and couldnt seem to get thoughts into words... Thanks to all the folks who came up to offer help. luckly, i had my brother and some friend to help me load in back up..   Im a little sore, my neck,back, legs and sides hurt but ill survive.. here are some pics..

 Damn!!!!!!!!!!! Man Frank and I were playing at the track i made today and were saying pretty much the same thing that happened to you. Sorry to here. Hope your alright  we can always put another bike together! These bikes have so much power you have to double check everything and then check again even though you had no clue about the spindles I've been looking at even stupid stuff like carter keys in the tie rod ends. We're going to fast to quick for something to go wrong! Hope your alright Huh

well i will tell you guys this, the porting that was done on this cylinder has made all the difference in the world from the way it was before. although i havent shifted from 4th yet... Angry its more stout that it used to be..
Im going to try and make it to GA.. right now im pretty tender all over...

Dang it man, Just glad to hear your ok Chris. Bike can always be fixed. Get your self to feeling better. Looks to me like the manufacturer of the spindles has some explaining to do..  What Lupo said is true. I find myself checking everything now before I or anyone else race's my bike. You never know. Take care Bro! If I can be of any help let me know..  PS did you have Nate do some more port work?

Did you win?

You know, I saw the whole wreck. Its pretty bad when you have to spend that much money on a fast nice looking quad, then flip it, and break that much stuff, just to still get beat by the 5yo !!!! Wink

As for coming to help, no problem. Glad your ok! That  wreck looked a lot worse than you ended up. If you have any problems getting that company to fix what broke, give me a call. I can give the owner of the company a call and help you out.
