I've seen quite a few of those videos he has out. Theres one where he actually starts pulling away from the camera pretty good. Must be freaky going that fast that low to the groud. Looks like fun though.

The concrete pillars, rock walls and oncoming traffic kind of freaks me out

im guessing the chase vehicle flashed the bike. . . Bike pulled over. . . then filming resumed.

this is totally crazy because of the obscene distance required to stop.

At some point in the future I'll be a part of a conversation that will sound like this. . .
"What guy?"
"The dude with the inline skate wheel all over his suit"
"Yeah I remember that video"
"He died two weeks ago"
"Hmm, Was that the same weekend as Travis Pastrana?"

Not cool. We all cross the street at some point. It could happen there just as easy. This guy is expressing himself as no one else can. Thumbs up!! :)

Jus,
I think i came across wrong in the post, and perhaps like a cocky jerk... read on. . .

My friend died a few months ago doing a 'ski-off-the-cliff---->wingsuit---->base' stunt on film and
although you CAN be killed just as easily crossing the street it is the chance of fatal injury i'm referring to.

You, sir, are a phenomenal rider and I've never seen someone in such exquisite control over their motorcycle, yet, you express yourself in a controlled environment. (A closed course)  I think his actions are irresponsible because he will directly affect the motorists, 9-1-1 crews, and the witnesses to his death. 

I am sure that my reactions may be a post traumatic in nature, but i really feel that he should not affect the motorists and the motorcyclists around him. 

Imagine you and your wife and kids rolling up that road towing the toyhauler.  You see a flash of white go under and feel the bump at the rear axle of the truck.
Not knowing what it is, everyone piles out of the cab.  You and your family find his remains pulled up into the wheel well of your toyhauler.  I know what that looks like.

I have seen Travis Pastrana come desperately close to killing himself several times.  I have seen him unconscious many times. 
I'm not being 'a dick,' I'm being totally honest, and don't wish either any harm.
If you were an insurance company, a paramedic, a psychotherapist, an ER doctor, or a lawyer, you see how I meant my words.

I am shocked at how many people I care for more than they do for themselves.
Very sincerely,
Justin

These guys were all great guys.  I know this because I knew them.
They are all dead. Many of my ski buddies are dead.
I have skid with Nitro Circus's Eric Roner, too
If you constantly search for the limit, you'll eventually find it.


After writing all of this, and after grieving a little bit, I'm ok with me/my words being 'not cool'
