So me and my buddy took our snowbikes out today. We went to a small local sledding hill, and hit up the back side where nobody goes. On the back side there are a bunch of rock ledges that make for some wicked drops. My buddy dared me to drop this little 3 footer, so of course I did it. Pretty scary, but I survived.
Then, as we started to get more confident, we hit a larger one, about 4-5 feet. My buddy hit the 5 footer and broke both sides of his handlebars clean off at the stem and hit a tree!
It's a whole different world doing drops without brakes while going downhill through trees and rocks! By the time we decided to get a camera and shoot some pics, it was too dark....

...so, in the morning, we will be heading back down there, and I'll shoot some pics. I just had to tell you guys about it!:banana:

Well, me and a bunch of buddies are going to ride bike to the bar! All this snow is making us crazy:crazy:

That was my son Cody. Wow he was excited when he told me about it. Pretty crazy. Wish I was there to see it. He's keeping the bars. Mom was glad he didn't loose his teeth or somthing worse.

WHAT UP MIKE!!!!!:banana: I didn't know you were on here! Yeah, we never ended up going back the next day. Oh well.

Cody did a bigger drop than me!!!!! He was kind fo afraid, but went for it (after I pushed him a little bit). It was pretty sweet! He would have landed the big one if those bars didn't break.
