Please tell me that this is on a directional trail. To have that kind of height means you are on a properly tall jump...
IIRC, that's Blenki and Wyn practicing for a race. on a closed course...
Sweet fcuk. That's how you get mauled.
Hmm, not sure about that, as that means someone is on what appears to be an entry level fork (Boxxer Race?), X9 shifter, and some pretty wonky brake cable routing on said fork. Plus, it looks like both riders are wearing gloves, which would make me angry at Blenki (even moar angry than I get when he air-pedals
)
it's always a good idea to take your 5 (!) kids, who can't swim, to the pool, when you can't swim either. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3143897/Two-brothers-ages-9-11-die-five-days-life-support-following-tragic-pool-accident-killed-10-year-old-sister.html
The shallow end of the gene pool should not take the kids to the deep end of the swimming pool.
wtf is wrong with people?
guess they couldn't handle all 5.
guess they couldn't handle all 5.

deadly incident, fireworks, mortar accident
WALLED LAKE (CBS Detroit) Police say a 47-year-old man died Sunday in Walled Lake when a large mortar fireworks shell he was holding next to his head exploded.
A mortar shell is typically about the size of a softball. They’re put together ahead of time and inserted into a tube from which they’re launched. Many types of mortars and other aerial fireworks were banned in Michigan until 2012 when the legislature loosened restrictions under public pressure to allow larger, typically considered more dangerous fireworks.
In this case of a firework gone wrong, the man’s family was “devastated” when the deadly incident unfolded in front of them at about 9:14 p.m. Sunday at a home on the 1500 block of Quinif Drive, according to Walled Lake Police Chief Paul Shakinas.
Shakinas said, when first responders arrived, they found the man unresponsive, not breathing, and suffering from severe trauma to the back of his head.
“Hands down, the worst I’ve ever seen,” Shakinas said. “I’ve seen (fireworks) accidents, but never causing a fatality. He was pronounced dead at the scene.”
Alcohol was a factor, the chief said, and the man may not have realized the firework had been lit.

Weird, the bar looks legit IMO
Like Jm, I'm pulling for the big fish
Dude, that shark is scary. And people should not be allowed to operate fireworks unless properly trained... and after a breathalyzer.
Sweet fcuk.

I see nothing about weed in this article. Your argument is invalid.
Yeah, I guess its pretty surprising that a surfer (in California no less) would be blazed out of his gord, to the point that he is pointing and giggling about the (very) nearby presence of a large great white.

Well wouldn't you? I'm pretty sure it was a once in a lifetime experience for him, and I'm sure the trip to the bong hut made the experience even MORE incredible! 
I guess the possibility of a decidedly violent "once in a lifetime experience" would have me mildly concerned. In short, I'm a big marine vag when it comes to things larger than me in the ocean...especially ones with large, pointy teeth. I've been scuba diving with big grouper and barracuda, and even that was kinda disconcerting.
I'd probably just stay in the bong shed and watch shark week on my phone.

Barracudas are scary ass fish! That's legit! I'm with you on not wanting to share dude's experience though, my preference is bong shed, then SKIIIII!
Horses are bad.
Backstory?
Loco got kicked in the face shoeing a horse. x3
Well that didn't take long. Didn't he just recently post on here that he was quitting the bike biz to become a farrier ?
Is he ok, aside from any noticeable brain damage ?
he is a farrier, it would be difficult to tell
He always had noticeable brain damage. The question is, was it any worse after the kick?
She was actually trying to reach in and grab a fish...
