Rabbit Valley/McInnis Canyon Dirtbike Accident

Rim trail in McInnis Canyon/Rabbit Valley Colorado/Utah. My skid plate clipped a rock on the left side of the trail which then sent my wheels to the right where the cliff edge was only 10 feet to the right of the trail. I bailed as soon as I could, sliding off the bike, ending up just a few feet away from joining my bike over the edge. The cliff it went off was three stepped, the first verticle section was about 30 feet down to the next small ledge then another 10 or maybe 15 feet where the bike stopped, then the last section was low angle 10 feet or about. We left the bike there for the night and rode two-up for the 6 miles back to the car. We came back the next day prepared. We had over 100 feet of tow line, climbing harness, a hand winch. We didn't know what was going to be the best way to get the bike out...up or further down. We ended up lowering the bike down the last ledge and walked it out the horseshoe canyon to the next trail where we could get the jeep to pick it up.
The bike amazingly had only a broken clutch lever and a smashed left foot peg! The front forks were perfect, the plastics were perfect, the frame, exhaust, handlebars, seat everything was in great shape!!!

@USMCin2years, yes I got it running the night I got it home after dragging it out of that canyon. It just needed a quick recharge on the battery since it was a e-start and efi, other than the recharge it just needed a new clutch lever, left side foot peg and a good cleaning and it was ready to go for under $80! Not bad for getting tossed off a 50ft cliff, IMO husqvarna's are pretty tough, they are designed for some hard lives!

In the shadow on the left side of the trail in the small bush there was a rock that my skid guard and left foot peg hit that sent me off the trail

In the details under the video it says Rim Trail, we linked a few other trails to get there but it happened on the rim trail about 6 miles from the parking lot near I-70

Holy crap!!!! That is my worst nightmare come true. Dude you are very lucky that you didn't go over with the bike. Ive ridden some crazy trails with very little room for error and I've come very close to the edge, but that is some scary stuff
