blown out progressive shock!!!!!!

[yzrider]

well this weekend at the badlands i blew out one of my progressive front shocks and bent my bumper a little, i had a fun time till then

heres some pics
here's the shock after it started leaking oil on the first day

these are after 30 minutes of riding the second day.......

these luckily have a lifetime warranty if we can find the paper

Not a good ad for progressive. Hope you find your receipt

 

[yzrider]

yay we found the receipt and are sending them in, it sucks tho cause i was riding real slow and crap, and noticed them leaking and couldn't do anything but ride onb them, back to stock for now

Prolly fractured when they rolled the end of the schock tube. Factory defect.

 

[yzrider]

do think shocks like these would be able to be worked over by a company like race tech or GT thunder?

 

[REEDracing94]

prob not. i dont think they are rebuildable

[yzrider]

haha, lol, i had a good time, my buddy from psj rolled his outlaw 525 down a hill and bent the spindle and it tore the crap outta everything else, i had a good time too, even tho the blater only got one day in, i had to ride a bayou 220 for the rest of the time, saw some scary crap, and found out that i love hill cimbing
