Cthulu Carl posted:The "just in their native continent" part has me wondering what kind of body comes by Pablo Escobar's hippos have racked up in Colombia. One major injury reported, no deaths. Only two reported deaths in the hippo population itself; one killed in a gov sanctioned hunt and one hit by a car. They've been getting busy. From an initial population of 4, there are estimated to be 140 (-2) now. I can't imagine there's anything big and dumb enough in Magdalena to try and take even a baby hippo down.

B-Rock452 posted:When I was a climbing guide the guy that ran the company used to do national geographic expeditions and he always talked about how scary hippos were. You would just be in the raft paddling along and suddenly a giant mouth is trying to eat the raft and everyone in it. All they could do is try to hit it with a paddle and hope it became bored. I went to South Africa this past march and stopped in Kruger National Park for a few days. We did a river hike with some guides from the park (each one with a large caliber rifle) and the hippos were pretty loving intimidating. They were hanging out in the river but as soon as they saw us they started walking towards us and then stopped about 150 feet away and stared at us with just their heads above the water until we left.

Was your bro's also missing the chain guard right near your foot so the chain was just exposed for mangling? I later got a Honda 4Trax 200 four-willer and cleaned the seat with Son of a Gun to avoid the previously mentioned duct tape re-upholstering job that my seat also ended up covered in. This one actually had brakes (for a little while!) and I slid right off the front of the seat and over the handlebars the first time I braked really hard after wiping the seat with it.

One of my friends had an ATC of some variety with a flat tire that no one wanted to pay to replace so we just rode it around on two wheels while hanging off the side. Somehow no one ever got injured doing that. My family had a TRX400EX that my brother crashed in to a tree at full speed, requiring a frame replacement (and nearly killing himself in the process because he didn't have the helmet strapped on and landed within inches of braining himself on a sharp rock), and then the next year I tore a chunk out of my leg with the handlebar when i crashed in the middle of wheelieing across a field. Good times, I would buy one in a heartbeat if I had a place to ride it.

Funny enough, it wasn’t missing that, but it was missing the chain guard on the back from running over tons of crap in the woods we had. And it did have a really small wobble from when one of our friends wrecked and bent the axle. Oh and we didn’t even own helmets, lol. Ahhhhh, The 80’s in semi-rural American Midwest

when i was like 13 or 14 a family friend stored a four wheeler at my house for almost a year and i quickly established a route around the acre property that i dedicated myself to completing as fast as the thing would allow. I let a bunch of friends ride it and one of them rolled it but there was zero damage. I also stuffed it into a huge shrub/bush thing at like 20mph, leaving myself gasping for air like a fish out of water. in winter i learned how to drift it on the driveway portion of my route. zero safety equipment at any time and not a single peep from anyone at all about any of the stupid poo poo i was doing. Once deer season the following year was approaching, dude picked it up. after deer season i got to go up north to the Iron Mountain area of Michigan and was again just let loose with zero supervision - i was going flat out on that thing on unfamiliar roads and just a vague memory of how to get back to this cabin that was over an hour off pavement let alone a town. i at least wore a helmet and goggles then. I came across a narrow section of road slick with ice and an oncoming pickup truck. i slowed down and got over as best i could and he just slid right into me. we just waved at each other and kept on going. thinking back it's amazing i survived, 12 out of 10 would buy one in a heartbeat if i had a place to ride it.
