All I gotta say is that they have a freaking sweet stunt spot.

Oh and anybody know him? details on crash?

 

stunting an r1 = high probability of him being a squid.

 

sammie benjamin....looks like he's wearin a bow tie jacket lol
"a huge private lot is not an appropriate place to practice..."

cant say i agree
sounds good 2 me...

 

dumbass news casters.....oh have we tried to find places to do this safely and legally....luckily we have permission where we go out here but not the case everywhere

 

well the last comment made by the guy is great. stunters do need places that cops won't bust ***** and is safe to ride at.

Id say that was pretty positive anyways. I mean if it was my spot id rage at the cop caller cuz that spot is now shut down for good, but for the news to be talking about it like that is pretty good. Not exactly calling us hooligans, just that we need a spot to go.

 

That sux they lost there top secret stunt spot

Cop says not to practice in lots. OK let's go back to the highway
News reporter says work with popo and get a legal stunt spot:YEAH

 

yes it was nice to look at it like that but if they only knew how much most of us have tried.....i'm tempted to contact the station and see if they will run a story on it.

 

They probably will. What has worked here is go to the local drag strip, and offer to do a show or two for free in exchange for practice time for the year. Bring a news camera with you and they will be all over that **** even more so. Free advertising for the track, Now the track is the good guys for offering a place to go. Win win.

 

here's the run down on it. The guy was a new rider trying to learn. That spot is pretty damn long so good for at new rider to learn. You could practice 2nd there if you wanted.

It was a FREAK ACCIDENT. He looped it and his foot got caught in the chain and sprocket. Not cool for ANYONE to be talking **** as for this could happen to ANY ONE OF US.

All in all, I would say this was positive coverage for us. From what I heard from several people the cops were cool as hell about the whole situation. As someone above mentioned, the news casters didnt bad mouth stunters. In fact mentioned that stuntriding is NOT illegal. Also suggested that stunters need a place to practice. Maybe this will open the eyes up to the cops and open some doors.

Oh yea, I got pics of the guys foot. Pretty gross. Should I post them?

 

I wasnt bad mouthing, i just think it was a bad chioce to call the cops or what not. Load your buddy into a car and go to hosp ! but yea post pics, cuz otherwise it didnt happen.

 

I wasn't directing anything I said at you. I honestly didnt even read your post. Hahaha. All good man. I don't agree with bringing thecops there either but when people saw his foot I think they freaked out. And there isn't a hospital close by.

The messed up thing about it is all his "friends" all bounced out on him. There was only 1 person who stayed there who even knew his name. The kid is also diabetic and couldve died. I'll post pics as soon as my computer loads up. I'm no liar, I'll prove its true. LOL

 

Wow thats some straight fucked up ****!!! Who leaves a fellow stunter after he wrecked pretty bad?? name drop?

 

heres the pics.

 

that sucks for that kid.

guy they interviewed- "its the thrill of being able to do wheelies at high speeds." news reporter- "he's been stunting for years."

 

photoshop.














































































cereally though, i hope they were able to save his foot.

 

yea they DEFINATELY didnt have the right person for the interview.

ive never seen that guy wheelie in his life. but thats just me. but im sure that club wouldnt call me to do shows for them if he stunted

 

holy **** dude. prob gonna lose his foot.....i bet he will hate stunt riding after all this is done. that looks like a new r1 they showed as the wrecked bike too...?

 

Gross

 

All I am going to say is **** THAT!! I was there when this all went down. I don't know who called the cops, but I wouldn't hold it against them on this one, I'm all for saving a spot too, but trust me, this wasn't a throw him in a truck and go to the hosp kinda injury (in my opinion). Maybe he could have mat it, maybe not, but I'm not sure I would want that on my conscience. I know that the guy elevating his leg holding the tourniquet definatlly didn't want it! This guy was diabetic and even with the tourniquet on, seemed to be loosing blood fast. They ended up airlifting him out of there. Hardly anyone who stayed to help even knoew the guy (Just one I believe), I thought it was pretty fucked up his friends boned out on him like that.

I'd have to say all in all, it was the second most disgusting thing I've ever been apart off in my life!
