I don’t know why, how or where you get the balls to do things like this. I’ve done some sketchy things in the past but I doubt I’d dare to do either one of these.

It just goes on forever :wow ---

coaster with brakes and a 400lbs weight limit id try it. skateboarding down a hill hell no. i cat even ride one on flat ground. their are crazier people out there tho. some even on this fourm. more people die on a motorcycle or in a car than any of these vids but you do it everyday without thinking twice. shit most people are affarid of bears snakes lions and they kill less than a dumb driver ever year. why is this? ---

Well statistically a lot more people participate in riding a motorcycle than taking skates down a bob sled ramp. Hardly comparable. With the recent deaths at the olympics it’s clearly not the safest thing in the world even with proper equipment (skate board not being one) ---

With the recent deaths at the olympics it’s clearly not the safest thing in the world even with proper equipment (skate board not being one) i will agree that more people ride. but more people die driving will you agree? therefore its deadlier than this weak shit. youll risk you life against a dumb driver but you wont to exp something new? ---

You really want to start getting into statistics of miles driven per accident of extreme sports VS car driving? I don’t, and you likely font find those stats. However I can find plenty of youtube videos of people getting hurt in extreme sports and we can calculate out the odds of a person in a car accident using the DOT figures. Extreme sports aren’t the safest thing on the planet statistically. ---

they arnt the safest but less people die each year in sports than daily driving. stats are just a number people defy odds all the time. i understand people die in sports and less people play sports than drive but every year over 1million people die from dumb drivers. and most of them could easily be avoided. i have lost many friends and family to car accidents. ive been injured first hand by dumb drivers stating they didnt see me 3 times now. i dont drive wonder womens shit either. but they all say the same on the police reports…ididnt see him [http://www.car-accidents.com/](http://www.car-accidents.com/) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/these-guys-have-a-damn-death-wish/261821.md?page=2)
