Yeah, those guys are wired differently from us....  I have owned my fair share of 2 strokes but the thought of running straight up a mountain as fast as you can go and doing a backasswards flip, much less a double, never crossed my mind....  Besides, at my age, my Cranberries does not need to be higher than my head.   ;D

My son has been begging for me to send him to FMX camp. There's a point when you have to separate yourself from the fear that he will kill himself, and just get behind what makes him happy. There are a lot more things I would rather him not be doing. Notice Travis hugging his mom telling her "I'm so sorry", "and "thank you for supporting me".
