Jalopnik
A little bit of metalworking knowhow has converted a perfectly functional quad into a perfectly functional quad that can do forwards and backward rolls. You're still out of luck if you rolls the quad on its side, but I'm sure the creators of this vehicle are working on putting a quad in a hamster ball next. Overall, it's a pretty creative idea, but at some point one would expect these kids to just learn how to ride a quad rather than having to worry about constantly rolling it. [DV]
Half-Circle Roll Cage Makes Quad Semi-Crash Proof

There is some crazy Frenchie, I think, who has done this with trucks... BIG trucks. Very impressive. Find some videos of him!
The latest show sensation in Las Vegas, Cirque du Soleil: Rêves de Drummondville
Hehehehehehehehehehehe
Didn't Gallagher do this first?
I did that once...without the roll cage.
I was lucky it was a racing quad and didn't really weigh much at all.
That kind of cage is what these hoons need:
+ Watch video
1): I have got to get me one of those!
2): That dog in the video is gonna get squished.
@P161911: That's gotta be our buddy Dave from Canada. Is there anything stupid he hasn't thought of?
yeah now lets try it flipping to the left or right.
@P161911: Thats got to be a big +1. It takes the "Powered Couch" and adds hoonage. And im sure that smutz wet his pants.
nothing new here, the late Doug Domokos was doing this with a honda 3 wheeler in the early 80's
It should have been NASCAR'S Car of Tomorrow.
@smokeydog001: it definitely has a high enough center of gravity, but i'm pretty sure you need a vehicle where the wheels are pushed out all the way to the corners (Mini Cooper, perhaps?).
i see impending doom cut off at the end, it looks like hes going to ram that car...
@nyoh-ohio: My sentiments exactly. That was a perfect collision course.
@FreeMan: Oh yeah, I recognize many of the usual suspencts and the electric box that his buddy did in when drunk one night.
@FreeMan: Here's an idea - if Polar doesn't land the weekend gig, how about they just post videos from Dave's farm instead. You can't go wrong with Platform Pontiacs!
@P161911: "We have some skull damage."
I believe the correct term is "brain damage"
IT IS called a "roll" cage
