First off I'm not condoaning this!

I recently posted that this is the way I unload and was flammed about how it's unsafe and impossible. I said I would get a vid but took the trailer on the last trip so I didn't get it on film yet. Just out of curiosity, do you guys think I'm full of it? Here's my vid from the trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgFef6jYVrw) just to give you the idea. this trailer is about 20" high. I'm guess my tailgate is no higher than 33".

Sorry Dude but that does not look like a very...........er safe way, especially without a helmet on, to unload a quad. On the other hand my buddy always moves his quad in the back of his ford ranger and never uses ramps. To do this you get you and your buddy to hold on to one of the back tires of the bike each and lift the rear out of the back of the truck. Just as the front tires leave the back of the truck you let go of the tires. Bike will land on all 4s just like landing a small jump. To load just lay the front tires on the back of the truck and do the rest of the steps in reverse. Personally if I don't want to use ramps or a tilt trailer I just find a hill to back into.
