[QUOTE="2001yz250, post: 355305, member: 29185"] Speaking of bailing, a few years back, a buddy and I were racing through a fairly wide section of trail through the woods(jeep road) when I swung out to pass him. As I started around him, I could see that ahead was a large rock about 2'X2' sticking up on my side of the trail. :eek: Now I was pinned in third on a CR250 so there was no time to stop and nowhere to swerve without taking me and my buddy out so I just raised the front tire, but I raised it too high and it cleared the rock instead of skimming off the top so guess what happened next. Yup, the rear end hit the rock and kicked up like a bucking bronco and had me riding down the trail on my front tire and I felt like it was totally vertical. :scream: 'Time to bail', I thought so I let go of the handlebars and was prepared for impact when all of the sudden, the bike just sat back down. :think: So now I'm riding down the trail with my chest laid across the handlebars and arms dangling on both sides of the front tire. :confused: With no way to controll the bike, the front end began to wobble and down I go! :whiner: Moral of the story, MOST of the time,(not all), if you hang on you can ride it out!
