i rolled my quad really hard at little sahara oklahoma and it just tweaked my tag x-5's.

I rolled mine down at Waynoka and it didn't hurt anything it jus moved the sand instead of the ground causing damage.

ive rolled it several times... i lost it one time through the whoops, which are a little more hard packed, and i was pinned in 4th, and it bent my renthals a bit and my stem a bit... still rideable...i got new renthals, and launched off a dune and it rolled down about 8 times, and other than breaking my whip i didnt notice anything...

It really depends on how bad you roll it. However, the sand is naturally more forgiving than hardpack. Most often you'll get away with no damage at all beyond a broken whipflag.

However, you dump it at the top of the hill, and it rolls fifteen times, gathering speed each time, expect the same broken a-arms and bent bars that you would expect with a roll on any other terrain.
