Little bit of a rant here but I am watching the Stunt Junkies show on discovery channel and this snowboarder is tring to grind a 117 ft rail that is on fire... They are making it seem like this guy is soooo amazing at snowboarding and that they keep making it seem like if he falls on the rail that is on fire he will die, but he won't even be badly burnt, the flames are just for show, I am not saying i could slide the whole rail, but I bet kids on NS could, yet here is this guy who isn't that good is getting the attension of Discovery channel... I guess that is TV mark up for ya...

god i was watching too and it was so upseting.  the guys are so dramatic and frequently use the words "die" and "hurt."  they make it all intense and everything and all that is is basejumping and a "flaming" box thing

I've slid a flaming rail on my skateboard, it's not big deal attttt all. It's not like if you fell on the rail you just sit there like "hmm, this kinda hurts" and get burnt. You would probably bounce off it and fall down. Or if you did land on it and stopped, you'd jump the fuck off.

Yeah it's hard to be impressed when they make it look so easy that infact if he came off way to early, he would have hit the cliff, bounced off and probobly wouldn't be able to open his chute. There was definitly high risk factor in his stunt.

Anyways, yeah that flaming rail thing was fucking gay. "Oooh he could like die and shit if he fell off the rail and landed on the concrete snow or touched the flame!!!" Shut the fuck up. Before you start hyping shit up, why don't you hit puberty first you piece of fucking cat shit. "Mehhh I'm a stunt junkie because I base jump and my voice is like my boyfriend 'stunt coordinator' of 200 years is constantly grappling onto my balls with his mouth." Jesus that show pisses me off. The only good thing they did was the episode with Darren Berrecloth. Seriously guys, you might as well just show the fucking stuff instead of trying to sound smart using "physics" that we all learned back in fucking 3rd grade. Yes he's going to go far if he hits the jump fast, thanks for that one you fucking inbred cock junkies.

I only watched it for the good ones like the mountain biking, jet ski jump and the rail into the canyon. Everything else is fucking gay as shit and pisses me off... well the lowest altitude base jump sounds fucking crazy, but the rest I have to say fuck them.
