LOL... Great video... Unfortunately, all I've got is dial-up (I'm a cheap fuk) so with that said, I've never seen a quad stop so fast and so many times in a 20 second period.... LOL.

That video was REALLY cool. Totally different than what we do....but still fun to watch.
On our trail...getting wheelies are bad....if you've got a wheelie...it's PROBABLY going over. I got close one time....I was going up a hill with like 40 degree climb, then climbing up rocks...I hit one too fast...the ATV went STRAIGHT UP...I slid off the seat while it balanced and shoved it down with hand. If it rolled over backwards, it would have gone end over ME and then continued down 50 feet of hill. It would have been trashed.

if the atv landed on you, you would have been trashed too! luckily u didnt!
those guys in the mud make it look so easy to pull em up and wheeline like that, must be the water.
i have another video, and I have experienced it myself, where the atv floats, it's weird, going thru deep water, u can feel the rear end trying to come up, jump off it, and it does.

They do float. Not sure why...to be perfectly honest. Jack was in Oregon riding the sand dunes...when this guy, had his quad fly off a jump into this pond. The guy was Ok....but his ATV (It was like a Prairie, Rincon...big, not small) was in the water...floating, upside down. Jack went out with his Father-in-law's dingy and tied a rope onto it...and pulled it back. They had problems getting it to the bank, when the handle bars started straping the bottom.

only thing i can figure is there enough airspace in all 4 tires to keep it afloat, probably why it was upside down..
have u ever experienced it? like i said, I feel the rear end just float, no traction or grab
THATS probably why those guys are able to wheelie them so easily in the water,front end floating up gives it a little 'push' so to speak.
notice they get up on thier knees, when going thru deep water, sometimes it's the best way to stay dry. they are doing it to shift the weight back faster.

I haven't been deep enough. This is as deep as I've gone. This is Larry...but I went through it, just before him.
