well I did kind of gaze in fascination at all the moody ones but who frick started that shit? This was supposed to be amusing no? Not, "let's watch people of an adventurous spirit who are trying to do the maddest shit buy it massively.." I was going to +1 Tommy ages ago - anyone who's ever bmxed or skateboarded knows all too well the feeling of twatting it, back in the day there just wasn't youtube for our mates to post it all on. But some of these are horrific - not massively funny if you can't tag "amazingly, he walked away with just a few minor cuts and bruises" on the end of it.
still - does that make it any less of an epic fail?
Interesting. I think it started with that epic textbook drop-out fail.
Massive 'xtreme' (heehee) injuries are seen somehow as being heroic a lot of the time, rather than just fuckin stoopid. I don't count the pro-bmxer who basically lost his knees as we watched as stoopid, but someone wasn't majoring in basic physics who laid that stunt up and in reality we all laughed at the (very) similar clip of the guy on the motorbike ("you can go way faster!")
Sorry, just getting intrigued at the supposed 'darker' twist this thread took for a page - and the responses to it. In a way, those who have spent ten/twenty years fuckin themselves up on bikes/skateboards are welcome to take the piss out of that shit. I know people who attempted that crazy shit in their time and in their minds they were looking for the moment when they knew they had landed it, not trying to do something to be stone crazy. Their highs, when it happened right, were probably more intense that anything most people feel; when it went wrong we carried them to the A&E.

I'm responsible for some of that shit. To be honest I think it's funny then I've broken my wrists and ankles 17 times between them. You live the life and accept the injuries, it's all part of the game. -
Epic Bail... nicely done.
