    No matter what don't ever...

    No matter what you do don't give into peer pressure!!! I learned the hard way yesterday when my friend and I where racing four wheelers on a dirt track trail. Everything was fine for 40 minutes and we were about to go back in when he says lets race the whole track ones!!. ( the trail is single track so theres really nowhere to pass, plus theres 5 jumps toward the end). I said no 3 times but finally gave in, so he takes off without saying go so I'm behind from the start. Im right behind him the whole time and thought I might be able to pass him on the back stretch in between the 4 and 5th jumps. So basically I punch it hard coming out of the turn but wasn't fully lined up for the jump so I flipped... Going like 40+ and atleast 8 feet in the air... I ate $hit and broke the a arm and transfer case..

    lesson learned

              Correct lessons learned:

              1 - Always have a camera taking video or action shots when messing around with friends and machinery - especially when there are dirt and jumps involved. I highly recommend a GoPro, and in this case, a helmet mount.

              2 - Always, and I mean ALWAYS signal your agreement to races such as this as punching the gas as you say "ok".
