thank you very much for the info

are they only open on sunday? any other days?

the web site i already found, but thank you anyway, the phone message says they are closed because of heavy rain, but i think it might be a old message

Is sand mountain open, i have never been there and need some info, is it open on saturdays?

I have never been to sand mountain i was wondering if someone could help me with some info, like if they are open, what time they open, and how much is it to ride a atv there, any info will help thank you very much.

The frame did not bend at a weld, if you look at a 330 where the steering stem is held, there is a piece a metal on both sides that hold the stem, they go from the top to the bottom. Those pieces of metal have "HOLES" cut into them, for what reason i dont know. The reason my buddy bought this bike was because his dad lives in North Carolina and everyone said to buy one. That is the main reason he bought it. I think he got a defective frame. No frame should bend that easily. "I SWEAR to what i have said in the previous posts" That is the only reason why i dony understand how such a major component of the bike got bent and not a tierod.

In a previous post i put right tire it was actually the left, sorry about that. Anyway when my buddy kit the stump the handle bar turned left, if you take you handlebars and turn them all the way to the left they stop because of a stop on the steering stem. If you would keep that angle and push it further that is where the frame bent. if that doesnt make sense tell me and i'll try again.

what kind of polaris did she get?

Your right about the hills, i'll give you that. If i took you to croom, i would take you to many areas that would prove you dont have the "BALLS" to go up or down!

both bikes hit at the front left tire "dead on"

[he didn't get hurt just a scrape on his stomach where the handle bars hit him]

I just found this

let a friend ride my wife's trailboss today and he crashed. hit a tree with right tire and it bent the frame really bad. when you ride it you have to keep the handle bars pointing to the left like you are makeing a left turn when you let go of handle bars the quad make a sharp right turn. the bad part is it's only 2 weeks old and my wife didn't know i let somebody else ride it when she went to the store so she's not to happy. does any body know who i can get a new frame thru and around how much they cost? my friend is going to pay for it so that's the only good thing thanks.

no it's the frame. the bracket where the tie-rod connects into the frame was pushed into the frame and the frame twisted. i was shocked the tie-rod didn't bend instead. he didn't get hurt just a scrape on his stomach where the handle bars hit him. he said the wheel was turned all the way to the right and the tree hit the rim just next to the strut. and i do not have insurance on it yet,but the insurance company in new jersey doesn't cover anything but basic liability so it wouldn't of made a diff. 
 
 

I'll try to explain the situation a little more, we were riding at croom with a neighbor of our who has never ridin a 4 wheeler before. My name it Matt i have a 400ex, my buddy ryan has a trailboss 330, and a suzuki ozark 250, Ryan was riding the trail boss just so you know, ryan and i our experienced riders. The neighbors name is Gwin, We started riding out of croom campground and headed for the "hills" i "matt" was leading on the 400ex ryan was next then gwin. I made sure on how fast the group was going so he would get the feel of it. Ryan was following me and hit a stump, he then yelled at me and said stop. HE said " i think the steering is bent" we looked at the situation and sure enough the frame was bent. I personally think if you hit anything at a relativly low speed, the framw should not bend, the tierod should bend or maybe a a-arm ,but not the frame, that same day i got cut off on a trail and i Matt hit a tree on my 400ex going pretty fast, i had to check my legs becaused i though the bars might of cut me. The only thing that was wrong on my bike was a bent tierod, not the frame THATS THE ONLY THING I'M TRYING TO SAY, THE FRAME SHOULD NOT BEND IN A SITUATION LIKE THAT.  When we talk in this post we need to make sure to compare apples to apples, when you said the thing about The Ford motor company about hitting the tree makes no sense, because "LETS JUST SAY" if you hit a tree backing up and the frame bent, you would be mad,the bumper is just your fault, Before my buddy bought the trailboss he rode the ozark250 he has hit stumps on that at all speeds and nothing is wrong or bent on that bike

We already talked to polaris, they are no help at all

My name is Matt i have a 400ex my buddy has the trail boss, i have hit trees and stumps at all different speeds, the only thing that broke was a tierod, and rim, but the frame did not bend that was my concern when we talked to polaris, the whole reason for parts is for the parts to break which is fine but not bend the frame. My 400ex has tumbled down a mountain about 10 flips, and all i did was rolled it over and started rinding aagin. My buddy hit the stump at about 5mph, he did not even complain about hurting himself he just noticed that the steering was bent. i hit stupms all the time it is just part of riding at croom, if all bikes broke when they hit a stump, then all the bikes would be out of commision.

My buddy bought a 2005 trailboss 330 4-stroke we took it to croom and 2 days later the bike had a bent FRAME, my buddy ran into a stump at about 5 miles per hour{no lie} and the frame that holds the steering stem bent and twisted., We called Polaris and they said pretty much to go **** ourselves they dont cover colisions. I think my buddy got a defective frame. Polaris has a slogan which says "The way out" we were on the way in and the bike broke now we have to walk out what kind of crap is that? I have a HONDA , I'M GLad i have a honda if i had a polaris then i would have a junked out piece. i have rolled my 400ex down the mountain, front over end mutiple times in the same day. But the irinic thing is my honda was THE WAY OUT. And still has no problems, but yet my buddy hits a stump "which is imposible to not do in croom", and his bike brakes. ANYBODY HAVE ANY IDEAS ON HOW TO HELP THE SITUATION?
