so last night me and my buddies where doin some trail riding and i decided to go down a really steep hill, so i started down and it was so sloppy my brakes locked up and i started sliding sideways so i let off the brakes and just rolled down the hill pretty fast, what i didnt know was that "little puddle" i saw at the bottom of the hill was actually a pond about 3 feet deep with about 6" of ice ontop of it, well i came down the hill, broke through the ice and smashed my offroad lights, headlights, blinkers, and bent my bumper up, then to top it all off i was stuck, since i couldnt go backwards because behind me was a big *** hill and in front of me was a ton of thick ice and the water was up to my headlights so i just rammed back and forth breaking the ice until i was able to get out of the pond....man that sucked!! so i took some pics but it was at night and with a crappy phone but u can see the broken stuff. the pics really dont do it justice


but anyways its all good luckily i had left over blinkers and headlights and marker lights from when i redid teh front end once before so i changed them out and then took a big hammer and a winch to straighten my bumper out and now im just left with a few chips out of my new grille and no more offroad lights but i will replace them soon.
what a ****ty night lol

that sucks bro but at least the pond was not 10ft deep and just some body damage it happens when you wheel hard lol

in hudson, wi off highway 10? i think it is 10 anyways, directly across the street from the entrance to the TA truck stop there is a dead end road, that had a trail leading into the woods at the end.. its a amazing trail, it goes for miles and theres ponds and hill climbs and rocks and muddy fields and everything in between even big *** sand pits.
