At what point did he decide to turn left? Only thing he had was more balls then brains.
I don't think he "decided" to do so. Once the front wheels were up he couldn't see. He was still on the throttle. I'd like to show him how to do it. I'd prefer 2 wheels though.

That dude's lucky he didn't kill himself. What an idiot. Why even bother with the skateboarding helmet?

Yep. Buggy left the ground vertical and the rear right touched first with him still on the throttle. Instant right turn.

I love the arms in the air rock on hand signal screaming wooooooo.

"Yard sale" what does that even mean?
It's a term commonly used whenever you crash when snow skiing or snowboarding and your gear is scattered everywhere all over the mountain. Skis, poles, hat, gloves, goggles scattered down the hill like a debrie field. Usually the people coming down will pick up your stuff and bring it down to you so you don't have to walk back uphill to get it. I.e a yardsale.

...and they thought it was funny. I think not. That's stupidity and asking for injury or death. My best friend died doing a similar stunt.

I think Jesse was referring to my close call as he saw it from riding behind me. She glad he was there cuz I woulda been in trouble as I was pinned and couldn't breathe or move! Still haunts me!

Gotcha. Glad your a survivor. I know 3-4 maimed and 2 dead from ATV wrecks. Safety first....all the time.
