    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    If he didn't have the skills/flight time logged up to hit it = Idiot

    If he's a quality rider that didn't size it up right = Unlucky

    I don't think you know the guy to make that call.

    I've seen guys hit that exact jump on video and nail it perfect. The reality of Freeride is sometimes you bail hard.

    The Idiot? That is the able bodied guy sitting in his state house eating fast food, getting fat while watching free sky.

    No one getting hurt except himself, if he had landed it, it would have been epic. I'd never even contemplate doing something as intense as that.

    what ever triggers flight over fight would have kicked in long before i even got up the hill.

    Good on him

    Yeah but if you want to take that road he's still an idiot because you and I are still paying for him to go to hospital. Just as we are paying for the bludger.

    For me he's and idiot because im too scared to do that shit

    Well, the opportunity is fast approaching.
    We will prepare for the onrush of biker fatalities that occur during the next 2 months.

    Awe....I'm pleased there are people out there that want to do shit like that so I can watch and say 'wow...I enjoyed that'.
    An experience cannot be proven, intellect and reason cannot prove the beauty of an awesome relationship with a motorbike.

    Ok, now maybe I wasnt too clear in my post
    The candidate for idiot was the e-mail I got had like 5 of these in it all as rated candidates for that award

    As this was a bike epic fail, thought of the 5 clips I would post this one
    Others were skaters trying to jump roof to roof at 4 stories up and such

    I did not call the guy and idiot I just used the subject line - maybe should have edited that because it appears I called him an idiot- I attached the opinion of the snder- hehe

    And yep I DO NOT have the balls to do what he did, but in the day (long ago) my old XR200 grabbed its share of air
    Just ride.
