Title: I think he might be lying Post by: Bigscrb15 on June 10, 2005, 09:38:24 AM http://customwire.ap.org/dynamic/stories/B/BBN_ROCKIES_BARMES?SITE=FLLAK&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT
Quote ........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.

I would hug the guy for that... not talk crap about him. We need all the help we can get!!

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.
