    :(if you ride quads then keep an eye on your front tires, i let mine get a little more smooth than i really wanted and here is the results I came out fine, i had all my gear on, helmet, goggles, gloves, boots, and chest and back plate

    How did smooth tires cause that?

    Good job bailing off that thing before you both made love to that tree.

    I hate to say it though, it doesn't appear that balding tires were at fault, it seems more as if speed was the culprit. You were there and I wasn't, but your front tires appear to have a fair amount of tread on them still.

    i was running roughly 50-55. I was moving along pretty good. I will not blame it completely on the tires, i remember a lapse in attention to check to see where my buddy was but the slickish tires and wet grass had a good bit to do with it..
