Driving a rock bouncer is not without its potential risks and that is why these chrome mole, tube frames wonders are built as they are. One wrong move, one wrongly timed stab of the throttle, and you can find yourself in a situation like Bubba Bacon is in here. It is bacon at the tiller of his Bad Habit rock bouncer at the Windrock Bounty Hill event who becomes the star of a video he’d just assume were never shot. While hammering the gas and attempting to get Bad Habit up a trail and mountain goats would swear off, bacon gets crossed up and then literally falls into the wooded abyss of the hill, being stopped only by the large trees off to the side of the course.
The fall is one thing but the airborne barrel rolls and the amount of hang time he gets while the thing is pinwheeling towards the trees is amazing. Bacon was 100% OK after the mess and he can be seen kind of leaning up on the rig after exiting it. People scrambled to the bouncer about as soon as it stopped moving which is a valiant thing to do but if it is burst into flames at that moment there was not a fire fighting piece of equipment in anyone’s hands. Not knocking their enthusiasm, but mentioning a fact. According to the comments on the video, the only problem with the buggy was a cracked fuel cell. Again, these things are constructed to withstand the worst possible things that could happen and that’s exactly what this was for Bubba Bacon.
This is flipping crazy!
