I rolled the rail again, I was backing off of the worst hill at Rush and then this time straight up and then WHAM!!! directly on my top and then it barreled rolled one time side by side and it stopped on all 4 wheels, it jarred my a$$ pretty good and have bruises to prove it, one on each shoulder and one on my upper inside left leg from the jock strap and I am ok and sore as hell too!! Some porta-power and efforts will fix it for now, it may not look like I hit hard but the top took the full weight of the rail and you can see all it did is bent the roof bars on both sides and the inside brace as well, it did not hurt anything else other than breaking one of the tail lights off, this is a good example on how strong Predator buggies are building their frames and it sure did work and protected me from getting seriously hurt, the fault lies on suspension and/or balance issues and it sure is tippy when backing off of hills here lately, I will look into this and see what the problem is and try to correct it and have me a new one built from the lessons learned from this one, but I will see what it is first. Thanks for looking, Chad ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Me and my old man was at the bottom. When he rolled I think he scared my dad worst than his self. But I did see that frame can take one h*** of an impact. If I ever go to a one seater I think that is the way I will go. The main reason is safety. Chad hope you get feeling better soon. |

Thats a good hill to F#*% up on! I wiped out a trailing arm this weekend myself. Hooked a tree wound out in third! I haven't been over to Rush this summer. Are the hills coming back after they smoothed them out last fall? |

Are the hills coming back after they smoothed them out last fall? The hills are coming back all right, they are rougher than a cob now especially 3-pole, very rough, large-loose rocks everywhere. |
