I saw these guys a few years back in Rapid City during the Sturgis rally. They were doing their stuff in a parking lot, with two huge mounds of dirt brought in and built up into ramps. Nothing but flat parking lot in between they must have been a few stories high and at least 100 feet apart. Did I mention there was nothing but flat parking lot in between? I remember muttering to my buddy "one of those idiots is going to die doing that".
I feel for his family, but I have no sympathy for anyone who engages in that kind of risk taking. He doesn't just put himself at risk; he has a whole family of more or less unwilling participants. I know we have had this discussion before - we all assume some risk, and we must all decide what we can live with. His risk/reward ratio looks to me like it was a bit out of balance.
