Kuadbiking has been a great factor in my life since I was little, it involved many challenges and some times great falls.

I have been kuadbiking since I was five and I had recently stopped like about a year ago since my kuadbike just wont keep running (burnt engine). When I was little my dad had got me involved in kuadbiking because he just told me to go and drive a little. By the time I was back the kuadbike was full of mud since it had been a rainy day.

The worse thing ever to happen to me while kuadbiking was when I was racing on the mountains. I was gaining the lead on everyone that was against me but there was an intersection by the woods, I didn’t know which way to go so I just decided to go by my left. Big mistake. I kept driving for about fifteen minutes, I noticed that the road never ended and that I was coming to a hill on the mountain, I decided to keep driving, and once ontop of the hill look for which way to go out. I put too much gas on my kuad, and exactly at the other side of the hill guess what there was… a cliff, it wasn’t actually a REALLY high cliff but it was about seven feet high, I was going too fast so my kuad just raised into the air when I went on the cliff, I went with it. All that time on the air I was wondering, “OH $#%^ should I let go and jump off or just fall with it?”. I cleared out my mind and made my decision, I decided to stay with my kuad on the air and land it. The moment that I landed I hit my hands to hard on the handles and my right thumb just snapped back. I stayed there for about an hour found some way to go around the cliff and went all the way back to the intersection. The race was supposed to take a MAXIMUM of three hours. I made it in four. I lost. After that accident nothing has really happened to ME but to people that have been driving with me… thats a different story. I was practicing to lift the two side wheels on the air and stay like that at least for ten seconds. My brother didn’t stop bothering that he also wanted to do that so I told him to hop on. He did. I was doing it and I just passed over a curve, grabbed my brother with one hand threw him off of the kuad, and with the other hand I tried to maneuver my way back so that the kuad wouldn’t tip over. It did.
