Did it ever slow you down? Serious Injury or a very very close call. Did it ever scare you guys to the point that you decided to take it a little bit easier on the bike?? Or maybe even consider quittin stunting??? If not what would it take?? SERIOUSLY. I don't wanna hear that Ride or Die bullshit.

yea the 18 wheeler part was scary the truck driver stopped he was all shook. i didnt really think about it till a few days later of how nasty an terrible it would have been to see one of my friends ran over by a 18 wheeler.

Re: Did it ever slow you down?
Absolutely.
Gotta weigh the risk vs. reward with everything in life. If you're a recreational stunter you have to ask yourself how much you're willing to risk just to have fun or impress your friends. If you're a pro and you set out to accomplish a goal, you'll stop at nothing to achieve it regardless of what it takes. If you suffer a casualty it's part of the sacrifices necessary to achieve greatness.
