I just heard on the radio that he died. I can't access his website to confirm it though.
You know, it occurs to me that without him, there would be no extreme sports as we know today.

put on a slow, dumb show for you
and crack you up
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
god I'm very, very frightening
and I'll overdo it'
It seems like yesterday when he tried to jump 14 garbage cans in Arnold's parking lot. Remember he ended up crashing into that chicken stand and breaking his leg?
That's really sad. He was an amazing bloke.

Hold on to the thread
The currents will shift
this totally sucks.
I am thinking that they should do something extreme with his remains!
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
I think they should cremate him, add some lighter fluid to most of his remains to create a ring of fire for his son to jump through. Prior to jumping through the remains his son will snort the other remaining ashes to give him not only strength, but also to have the only time in history someone has jumped themselves on a motorcycle.

We saw him when I was little. Awesome stuff.
RIP
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
I always thought of him as the ultimate human action figure!
I remember when he first jumped the fountain at Caesar's Palace in the late '60's and all those other crazy jumps. What an extreme change of careers to go from being an insurance salesman to jumping over busses on a motorcycle!
I remember seeing an interview with him where the guy asked him, "so how does it feel to crash land?"
He said, "What the hell do you think it feels like? Christ almighty. It hurts!

A favorite childhood memory is of running terrified to the safety of home as a total eclipse of the sun rolled in one afternoon and it got dark quick.
I was wearing my Evil K stunt suit and the man himself was to appear on TV that afternoon doing another insane jump. From memory this was about 1973 or 1974 I think.
