Words escape me; why on earth would you even attempt something like that?

DW could have done a better video, but Jacky might not be enthusiastic about it.

That would have been a cool GoPro helmet-camera video.

Speaking of careers dropping off stuff..... Seth Enslow of Crusty Demons of the Dirt fame has to be near the top of the list.

Not quite so crazy - and it's on 4 wheels . . . . but it's how I wrecked my first rally car!

Easy Rider is the name of my store in Edmonton, AB, Canada.
My name is Warren Currie . . . and we SUP Surf indoors . . . in a shopping mall!

Yeah, Seth Enslow did some stuff even worse than that. A huge ramp to ramp that didn't work--overshot the ramp. Nearly killed him, fractured his in skull. He's now got a scar on his head goes ear to ear. He did finally break 300 feet in a jump and says that's it for him. He's got a daughter now, and it seems to have calmed him down a little. Not a bad guy, just kind of dangerous to be around.

I remember when he blew a jump, I think it was Dumont Dunes, and landed in the parked bikes. Nailed Jeremy McGrath's bike. I didn't see the crash, but putted up with some of my buddies about 30 minutes later when they were still trying to get the bikes apart. That was about a year before Fleshwound Films came out with Crusty Demons of Dirt and people started doing huge jumps off everything they could find. The motocross guys that did most of the work on that film considered him to be a flake, but the film made him famous.

Youth is wasted on the young is right, or in Seths case swap Suicidal-Psychotic-etc.. for young.

Did anyone keep the contact info for that guy who posted the spam a couple months ago about the need for health insurance?  The guy who said, "I play surfing myself"? 

Never we are knowing when family need insurance for healthy to treat being in hospitals--don't play surfing or ski or am driving without insurance, because accidents can come happening always!
