Exclamation Riding into a supercell
Was trying to make it back to a friends garage before this big bastard hit. Honestly there may have been a tornado on the ground when i got wrapped up in it Im not sure. All i know is I took a beating, got blown across the road, and still didnt stop to wait for the end haha. The polaris got me home. Sorry about the language in second vid, i was a little jacked up on adrenaline.

There scary thing is right before this i had just tried to take my nephew out to a buddies pond to go fishing "more so he could ride his 50cc yamaha out in the pasture." I got a text from my sister saying a tornado warned cell was heading our way so we booked it out of there. Hes brave, he didnt want me to throw the bike on the quad and wanted to try and beat it home "i was just seeing the thunderheads starting to pop so i wasnt too worried yet or I wouldve overridden his bravery" But I got back to her house and looked at the radar and made a choice, It looked about 15 minutes out but I didnt factor in that the radar image hadnt refreshed in a few minutes...

the two links below are to the vids i shot with the flip.

Wicked man. Weather is one thing that I don't play around with. Glad you made it out alive.

If anything I guessed I learned a lesson from this one. Just wait it out lol. The sunset after this storm was amazing and would have been worth the wait. Hardheadedness begets hail to the head.
