........Helton said he and Barmes rode four-wheel, all-terrain vehicles at Helton's ranch near Greeley on Sunday after the Rockies beat the Cincinnati Reds 8-6. Helton said the ATV ride had nothing to do with the injury.

"I cannot say it strongly enough - he did not get hurt riding an ATV," Helton told the newspaper. "I was there. He never left my eyesight the entire time."

Helton said he, Barmes and rookie teammate Brad Hawpe were riding about 5 mph...........

I have ridden atv's enough to know they can't go 5mph, lol.

Funny how we believe everything in the newspaper, but question the Bible.

They can go as fast or as slow as you want them to go... if you take your quad out of the garage you might be able to find that out Wink

Even if the guy is lying, at least he is trying to giving ATVing a better image by saying he didn't get hurt on one. I would hug the guy for that... not talk crap about him. We need all the help we can get!!

I agree he is trying to give atv'ing a good name. Apparently you all missed the sarcasm. If you are out riding atv's with your friends what are the odds you are not going to go over 5mph. If you have a speedometer on your quad, I want you to try and ride at 5mph or slower for more than 100yards, its very hard to do. I know they can go that slow, I had my 500cc Vinson going 3-4mph max when I set the throttle screw way down. All I was saying is that I am almost 100% that they went faster than 5mph. This article does make me kinda upset because they made such a big deal about the atv that its almost like the reporter is going crazy because it didnt happen on the atv and he cant give it a bad rap.

True and why are they making such a big deal that he was atv riding. And so what if he did get hurt on the atv? Its the rider not the atv.
