    Rhino flop

    The driver of this Rhino rode all afternoon with us (on two wheels and four). We were wrapping up and heading the 100 yards back to the house and I just told him how impressed that I was that he hadn't wrecked even once. Jinxed!

    Re: Rhino flop

    WTF happened? One second he's pulling away, the next time you look up, he's flopped.

    I give your footage a 3.5/10....

    Re: Rhino flop

    The driver is a fairly well-known member on this forum. I'll let him explain what was trying to do.

    Yeah, wicked shitty footage, I can't argue there. The end of the video was because the memory on the camera ran out. I was pretty sure I missed the "event" so I was more than excited to find the footage this morning.

    Was said member OK? It looked like he might have been tied up in the cage a little bit when you got "on scene".

    For the record, I don't know that was actually Bill, though it certainly may have been.

    He was sitting on the ground a bit shaken. He gives me a thumbs up on the video when I ask if he's OK.

    Re: Rhino flop

    why is this not set up as a poll... is this a. John's fault (for jinx) b. Bill's fault (for skillz) c. Kitt's fault (for letting him drive unsupervised)

    That is good to hear!

    Always a concern when the side by side type equipment rolls. It's only human nature to sticks arms and legs out and those machines aren't light.

    Re: Rhino flop

    Rhino's Don't do Donuts... First thing the Yamaha Rep told us when we went to Rhino training. Also your foot can get caught between the gas and brake pedals if your are wearing MX Boots. This I know as I rode one wide open into a tree in front of all the other dealers...

    Brilliant idea!

    I think both Justin and Brett should get Sherlock honors for deducing the guilty party. I couldn't stop laughing at work when I saw them posting up today.

    Re: Rhino flop

    Sure, but that doesn't mean they get used. I'm pretty sure it's dumb luck that he still had his helmet on. I can't say that I've ever used either in my fathers Rhino but then again I've never tried to do a donut in it either.

    Sunday, Dec. 4th at appx 2:15pm
    Kitt's Dirrty Moto Compound

    Trouble: "Hey Bill, I bet you 10 bucks you can't do one lap without crashing!"
    Me: "Well that's an easy $10 for you..."

    Later that afternoon, appx 4:15 pm

    Trouble: "Ah man, Im disappointed! We've been riding all day, and I didn't get to see Bill crash once!"
