Bad enough that he risked his own life, but he risked the lives of others. Had he wiped out that bike could have easily gone into another vehicle or if it went airborne into oncoming traffic.

If people want to go fast, go onto a race track where it is designed for speed.

There is another side to this. A college buddy named Rick was once the victim of a suicide - someone else committed suicide by jumping in front of his car. Unfortunately, the fact that it was suicide didn't help much. Rick never did come to terms with the images imprinted on his mind. It pretty much screwed him up for life.

... which seems odd to me; death seems pretty natural. Hope I'm not being insensitive.

For someone who have lived a long life. Certainly death is inevitable for all. However, to see someone commit suicide or to watch someone make a bad decision resulting in death can be traumatizing. I know of some locomotive engineers whose trains crashed into cars killing the occupants. They were helpless to stop the train because of the inertia. Some people apparently just froze in panic, and didn't try to escape, just before the train hit. Those guys were pretty devastated, but they still went back to work after some time off.

It was a very ugly scene and there was nothing natural about it. Anyway, not to derail the thread too much, did anyone else like the Flying Car cartoon in the Jet group? That cracked me up!!! It sounds so much like a typical HS nerd conversation...

Since we're on this morbid subject, I'll point out that, versus GhostRider, there is simply no contest.

According to wikipedia, he's a stunt driver who beat the world wheelie speed record, and who died in 2005, it is absolutely no wonder.

Here's his Uppsala Run.

Beautiful Mess

but will anyone actually feel sorry for him?

I think this one surely classifies as a classic!

I think I got this off of here, but anyway, it deserves a rerun, sorry if someones already put it up, it's just excellent.

Oh and this is quite entertaining too.

Obviously staged but it's still pretty impresive.

Tai Jitsu is ninjitsu's martial art, as you can see, alot of the moves are intended to break limbs or even blind or kill. Which is probably why you wont see it on extreme fighting, in fact the most deadly types don't even fight amongst themselves for sport, Tai jitsu in most forms is free form, whatever works works. The FSM approves

The fight sequences in the Borne identity are a sort of Tai jitsu, in fact there completely free form.

Tai jitsu is used by many covert agencies.

EDIT: just like in the movies

Wow! Incredible. It's no wonder that he died.
