Max commitment, min intelligence

Anyone remember Evil Ken, do you suppose people wouldn't pay to watch someone jump a Harley now and crash? I bet they would.
For the Haters lol, I don't recall being able to walk when I was born, to do anything takes practice...
Ever watch Tim Coleman or Graham Javis spractice, they fall off lots.. perhaps in a more calculated fashion.
It looks good when edited.
It doesn't matter if it's back flips on MX bikes, skate boards or what ever (and yes people do this for a living) they all crash, all make mistakes and all get it wrong...
Same as racers. < They all start somewhere.
Although it's on camera, it's "not all for the camera."
I've recorded things so I don't forget being younger, I have no pictures of bikes or holidays from up to my mid 20's.
It also helps to look at things that you could improve on, on board racing.. I've found time at the track, from my premier inn room near Brands in between race days.
Of course some people like the attention, but it's entertaining, and I rather people share content.
This is also how sponsorship happens. Guy Martin is known for it, other racers do not get as much publicity even though some are faster. You don't even need to be best, if you can prove you can get companies exposure..
If he had landed that it would perhaps not have looked so silly..
Many people think riding bikes is silly full stop. Others racing.
My opinion is, at least these people try and doing something, learn, get better if they are lucky rather than the other come.
I don't see it as the Facebook Selfie, because they really seem a different breed (to me) perhaps I am missing something.
Some people push the envelope, some don't, yes some are just plain silly, but further down the line some of us benefit from some of these people via technology improvements.
Those who are risk adverse may live a long and less exciting life.
Those who do take risks, stupid as it may seem many live a short and exciting life, die painfully, maybe donate their organs towards saving someone else. Perhaps make a bit of money from it, or have women think they are real men or not, I don't know... I'm just talking BS really.
Each to their own... if they are not hurting anyone else, or damaging property that does not belong to them. (or in the UK, costing the tax payer money via the NHS) despite the fact many people do via other methods of self inflicted... while not working.
I rather spend time with people do, who try to do...
Love to everyone... except leftie activists who turn up at peoples work place, with their hate speak.

Seriously could've broke a few bones on that landing
I'd lay money on it that it wasn't without damage.Getting up and smiling at the camera is no guarantee of being injury-free.
His neck appears to take a right pounding and in the wrong direction too so I wouldn't be surprised if something came to light later.
In terms of his overall ambition:ability ratio, he's an idiot.
Yeah everyone has to learn, and the greater strength isn't in never falling but in getting back up when we do, but come on.....what special breed of single-cell organism looks at that style of bike and thinks it's ripe for launching skyward?

If you see longer versions of that video, you see the handlebar set up he has. How he didn't demolish his face on the roughly welded pointy bits of steel that make them up, is a miracle.
