It started when I was power sliding around the big sweepy turn on the track at Prairie City.  The 3rd time was the unlucky charm for me.  I went around once then on the second go around I picked up the pace then on the 3rd try I was really hanging off sliding it around in 3rd gear until my outside rear tire gripped and I went a flying.  When I picked myself up off the ground I was quite a ways from my Quad.  It was upside down and not running.  As I went through a short systems check of my body I realized my thumb was not bending and felt a little stiff.  I up righted my Quad place the gear in neutral and it fired right up.  Now that the Quad was running I thought it would be a good time to remove the left glove and figure out why the thumb was so stiff hoping the bone was still inside the skin.  After removing the glove and not seeing a bone protruding through the skin I was very happy.  Then I noticed why the thumb was stiff.  The knuckle closest to the end of my thumb was pushed forward and off to the side.  It was dislocated in a bad way.  After giving the tip of my thumb a good steady pull the knuckle popped back in to place and I was able to bend it like it never happened.  While riding my Quad back to the staging area I noticed the handle bars were a bit lower then usual and my right rear tire was pulled away from the rim slightly.  By the time I made it back to the staging area the thumb already started to swell and I wasn't able to bend it anymore at that knuckle.  About a month later after the crash I had to have 40cc of fluid from my left knee that apparently banged up pretty good.  It was a delayed reaction injury I guess.  So here are the pictures of what was broken and the replacement parts.  What did I learn?  If it keep pushing it you'll get it.  And the guys you see on the commercials and adds power sliding around probably are on a perfectly groomed track.  Unlike the river rock incrusted track at Prairie City.  The time frame from New to Crash to repaired is crazy.  10.4 hours of riding time total before this happened.

Replaced Parts: Radiator (OEM was too expensive and this PWR was better built.  Check out the welding job), Left Headlight Assy., Reverse Switch, Handle Bars and the Brake Lever. 

While in the repairing process I replaced the stock front shocks with shocks from a 2006 YZF450.
