Rhino wreck....

I got my Rhino in December of 06'. In Jan of 07' A bunch of friends and i where up by Shirley Meadows Ski Resort in California. The entire road on the side of a mountain was all ice. So we thought we'd try drifting. All was good for about an hour. Then i was coming around one last corner on the way back to the trucks I hit a really long drift. it was perfect un'till all my tires broke loose and my rhino turned completly sideways on me. So there I was just sliding sideways on ice. I slid for about a good 30' till i hit a cattle crossing. Let me tell you something, when you mix 5psi in tires, a cattle crossing, and about 1200lbs at about 15mph, nothing good comes out of it....

I ended up tipping the rhino over (which the stock seatbelts at that time held me in place just perfect.) and breaking my; right rear a-arms, my axle, cracked my rim, bent my shock, tweaked my frame, and scratched my fenders......

Good thing I had a rhino though, because I had to drive that sucker back to the truck (which was 21miles away) at 25mph in 4 wheel....i mean 3 wheel drive....hahahaha
