This is how you fix a broken clutch cable in the middle of nowhere!

It was on a nice long and technical trail, so i needed to have a clutch!
 
good thinkin stephen, i broke one way out once, my buddies had to lift the assend on my blasty, while i started it, got it in gear and gave it some juice, then they would drop me and off i would go
 
If it wasn't such a technical trail i would have left it and just give enough gas and kick it in first, but it was slow riding over big rocks and ditches
 
great thinking might have to make me something simular to that i always seem to break cltuch cables in the middle of nowhere
 
thats not as redneck as i was expecting. lol one of the blasters i got to rebuild had a piece of string as the throttle cable it was just tied in a knot in the carb haha.
 
I did that to my buddies dirtbike once. but i had a shorter bolt and just clamped the cable between a couple of washers real tight.
 
lol nice one ,but let me tell you this. I was riding with my brother once ,and he comes to a stop in front of me. So I stopped and he jumped off broke off a twig chewwd the end and jammed it into a hole in his front tire. Stopped the leak and we continued riding. How the hell he heard the leak while he was riding IDK. but thats a trail rig right there also i didnt have tire plugs with me because the zipper broke on my saddle bag so I threw it away.
