Alright, so here is the story of the worst weekend of my entire life. So last weekend me and my friends went wheeling up at the pass, which is about an hour and a half away. We took my pathfinder which I had just bought that day, and my brother’s pathfinder, and my friend Tom’s Yota. So we get up to the pass and everything is all fine, and we were four wheeling having a good time. Then Tom decides to go by the lake bed. So we all fallow him and we all end up getting stuck in like three feet of mud. So we tried for about four hours to get our trucks out, by now it’s about twelve o’clock. We finally get my brothers pathy out of the mud. Then about an hour later got Tom’s Yota out of the mud. After a failed attempt of getting my car out “because I was in deeper mud” we called my buddy Curtis so that he could bring up his little come-along winch. So as we were waiting for Curtis, we decided to go wheeling. So it was me, Max, and Tom in Tom’s Yota. And my brother Tye, Jeff, Mark, Samaira, and Brittany in Tye’s pathfinder. And we were up in the trails having a good old time. Then we went back down the mountain to meet up with Curtis so that he could winch my car out. So were fallowing Tye’s car when suddenly he tries to drift this corner but forgot he was in four wheel drive. His car flips “remember he had five people in it” going forty miles per hour, his truck rolls all the way over and back on its wheels. All the windows were busted out, the roof was dented in about a foot, all the doors were stuck, the axles were bent, the whole car was completely totaled. So after we made sure everyone was alright, we headed back to my car to meet up with Curtis. So we get there and were hooking up my car to a stump, and were winching it out with this little come-along hand winch. Everything is going great, were taking turns cranking the winch because its hella hard to pull. So Curtis tries to pull the winch and it snaps and hits him in the leg. By this point I thought enough was enough, I was hoping this whole thing was a dream, but no. Curtis’s leg was completely shattered. So we called an ambulance and it took them about half an hour to get to us because we were way back in some trails. So Curtis cant walk for two months, which sucks because were both sponsored snowboarders and now he can’t board for a while. So I had to leave my new car there overnight, and the next day I had to pay $400 to get it towed out. So it was a horrible weekend

All in all, that sounds like a pretty good weekend of wheeling. Sucks about the broken leg...that takes ALOT of pressure to break your femur (I'm assuming that's what he broke)...seeing as how it's the strongest bone in your body...I've been told that on a scale of 1-10 it's like a 12.5 as far as pain in concerned...and to add insult to injury, it takes forever to heal. But, on the plus side, Ty (that's who flipped the truck, right?) will never do that again and will become a better driver for it (I don't mean to sound like a d!ck, but that's pretty irresponsible to try to show off when you've got 4 other prople in a car with you), you learned how much mud it takes to absorb a pathfinder, and your friend has learned to stand by and let the guy who burried his truck winch his own sh*t out

Always hang a blanket or a coat over your winch cable for that very reason. One of the clubs here won't even allow metal hooks on the end of your tow straps, they all have to be fabric loops.
