Rainemaker's Commander X is in the hospital

Poor ol Christian got unlucky. He is working to get her back out there!

That's why I don't climb crazy in a SXS because you


you are stuck in it and have to ride it out

Going camping $100 , Snacks and Beer $100 , watching Christian roll a $16,000 dollar Can Am down the hill , PRICELESS ......

I'm glad he's alright....

That was scarey just to watch... I can't imagine being inside of it....

Tbone.. you have full harness on yours?

WOOOO WEEEEE!!!!!! WHAT A RIDE,,,good to see everyone was ok...

No. None of my sxs's have them yet

wow, i backed down sunday on a hill that no one could climb. I was preseneted w what appeered to be doable, i really thought i could, but the roll would have been over and over for 150yrds, just crushing. I have learned something form this video. God speed to chrstian and his beloved commader. wow it actuly appeared to drive off!

wow, that was unexpected! https://youtu.be/KNkG3OT48-4

Yeah it was one heck of a ride that is for sure! Really glad Haspin makes everyone wear helmets! Smacked pretty good on a rock on one of the rolls. As for Devils Backbone, well it ate a Commander that day.

All in all it held up really well, the roll cage had 2 dents in it and a few scratches. It did keep running, and I tried to drive off, but both rear axles snapped. I was trying to come around the hill in front wheel drive :(

Major things I broke were both rear axles, front spindle snapped in half, pretty sure the ball joints are toast, but jury is still out. Other than that pretty much all cosmetic damage.

Harnesses just came in along with a new helmet. And loads of other goodies on the way! We were really lucky both of us made it out with out a scratch.

Sam "the passenger" had a deposit on a commander and wanted to see how it would climb. It was his first time out with us. After we got the commander back to the trailer, he hopped in with a buddy in a rzr and about an hour later he rolled too. I told Sam he was a great guy, but he ain't getting back in my ride with me, I think he has some bad luck following him around.

Sam did end up picking up his X last weekend, he knows how well it holds up in a roll over.

Next time I go back to Haspin I will be at the top of the Hill filming everyone else :)


Once I get all the pictures off my camera and phone I will start a build (Re-build) thread.

Thanks all and just a reminder to stay safe so you can ride another day!

I climbed the back bone last Spring in 2wd till I made it to the very top, that last couple of rock shelves got me. Has it gotten worse in the last year? Glad to see everyone is ok....count me in next time everyone heads to Haspin!

Glad to see & hear everyone is ok --- machines can be fixed or replaced

glad everyone was ok T-Bone i seen another vid with a rzr going up it with no trouble i think he hit it to fast

Glad your alright ... let me know if there is anything I can help you out with on the rebuild

Glad the Can-am internal Gyro works. Amazing how they always end up on the wheels.

hope you have insurance.

i seen a rzr flip and roll the same way last fall. but it roll 2x as far and it drove back to camp and rode all the next day. it ended up being totaled. i wont tell who it was. lol

Yeah I did hit it too fast for sure, I Learned a good lesson that day. Also going to mess with my rebound a little bit. I am still planning on making it up for memorial weekend to ride with CommanderX. Providing all my parts come in! Seems like that has been the hardest part about it all.

Thanks WVHotRodRhino, so far everything I have uncovered is just bolt on replacements, with all the new stuff. So far it has all been pretty straight forward. May have some questions about alignment once I get everything back together. Done it plenty on two wheels but never on 4. Taking the opportunity to make a few changes to my ride while I go :)

And Yep had full coverage on it! That helps cushion the blow for the fixes :)
