Re: Who Watches SCARRED???
Yea they add most of the sound but still, that **** is not the bizz, I hate the commercials too. I do agree that it is good for the young x-games posers to watch cuz they really just not give-n a damn these days. Fools jump-n off of **** 15-20 feet high thinking they really bout to land and be ok, like there skateboard has shocks or sumthin. Oh and I hope they never show a bike version we get too much sh*t as it is. Could you imagine every time you stop your bike somebody will be like "Man that's a nice bike... Ya know I saw this guy hit a backflip trying to wheelie, roll into a cactus patch, get hit by a bus and a train, drugg for 2 miles and he was just a skeleton when they found him you should be careful" I'd be pissed!

that's why I watch it. I was medical for a year and a half before I got into running Speedfreak, and wanted to specialize in trauma and Emergency medicine....mostly to care for sportbike riders. Shows like this one just intrigue me.

Re: Who Watches SCARRED???
Yeah, I like to watch it. Some of it makes me cringe, but for the most part, its good insight as to how fragile our bodies can be. I think it's a good reality check for guys like myself who ride solo sometimes. If we were to make a small mistake, we could end up off the side of the road in a ditch, all broken up, unable to move or flag someone down. Always carry a cell, when riding...

I don't know exactly why it is, but I can't watch that show.
I used to be really interested in that kind of thing, gory pics, etc. but just can't do it anymore. In my 8 years of riding I've only broken one limb and was mostly unconscious before getting treatment. I've seen some people get tore up and a couple accidents at bike nights that caused the rider to later die. I would imagine all that factors in, but for some reason, I just can't watch that show. I try, but have to spend most of the show muting it and turning away LOL.
