If the words "Tree, Curb or Cinder block" are in the title then I know there are good carnage photos.

Wait.... where is the picture of the cut down tree? Oh..... yeah sorry the tree won. My bad! Oh I have done it a couple times myself too on acident. Have something in your line of sight and can tell you are properly lines up and.....well you are lined up bulls eye to hit the damn thing instead. Well all considered it could be a LOT worse.

Well your not alone. I was jumping a dirt road at the scout campgrounds over the weekend and miss judged the landing on the last one and put my buggy into a tree as well. Not as much broken as yours but still mild carnage. View attachment 12307

Bad enough!!! Any broken parts isn't good!!! If all goes well I'll be ordering parts today!

 

[Zdragon71]

Yeah i ordered mine off ebay the same day along with some GPM steering arms and a spare set of screws and spacers. Also 2 sets of the stock cups so when i do it again i will have a set on hand. That tells you that i do plan on trying to perfect that landing away from the tree this time. Hopefully!

If the tree is big enough put some dirt around it and make a back flip ramp out of that tree

 

[nscrracefan]

It was my neighbors tree, lol! He probably wouldn't mind! Thinkin' I'll just stay way clearof it when going to 2nd gear!!!
