    As a budding young motocrosser back in the late 70's, I learned that lesson well, If you wanna play, you're gonna pay.... May he recover and find another "hurdle".....

    I'm finding it tough to feel sorry for this self-inflicted idiot...

    ... and that kind of bothers me.

    He's pulling off these foolish stunts for no other reason, than self-promotion on the internet.
    It encourages other less-talented riders to put themselves in harm's way.
    So I'm kind of glad that he's got to lay still for a while, and think about what he's done...

    Somehow: that doesn't comfort me...

    he's a less talented rider - attempting to emulate someone else. As seemingly noted in the video.

    As the old saying goes.

    It's not the chances we take it's the choices we make.

    Which might be even worse ... since stupidity tends to flow downhill: some even LESS-talented nit-wit is bound to get crushed in a foolish display of self-abuse...

    The insurance guy inside me just doesn't like intentional stupidity...

    Yes, you can watch it on YouTube.

    I hope he fully recovers. If he wants to continue stunts, go ahead as long as no other lives are put in danger. I like to watch those performing on the edge. To each his own.

    His first jump was a Facebook post and the link in this post is to a news channel report/opinion piece. It's likely on You Tube by now. In some form.
