Howard-
Ha, yeah. I guess not many "extreme sport athletes" give much thought beyond the here and now of what they're doing or there wouldn't be much radness in the world. In fairness when I was 20 I never thought about how what I was doing might affect my mobility at 40 either. Not that I was attempting 25ft stair drops to flat. Mainly because I was shit at skating.

Yeah, I recognised those steps (and the security guard) :) straight away. I've watched the long form of that Thrasher video with all the failed attempts too. Not that the DH bike version was a walk in the park, but the skater shows a masterclass in perseverance and guts.
