Can you spell IDIOT? He may have had a "big heart", but his brain wasn't even close. God, if you want to kill yourself there are easier ways. Moron.

Does God not make babies with enough brains and common sense to last them thru life? Apparently, after having seen this, He doesn't.....

He gets my vote for the Darwin Award, either for falling asleep in his physics class, or not having enough friends to tell him how stupid this stunt would be. And guess what? No do overs! I invite all you dumba#### who think this bozo is some kind of athlete or hero for dying doing what he loved, to do the same thing. The earth is already too crowded.

What a risktaker!! that's great... according to you ... but at the end of the day ...He's Dead!!! OK!!!! Does anyone give a crap about the people that are left to Grieve him??? Your life Isn't JUST About you ...He was a selfish Bastard!!! And I hate him!!! God Rest His Selfish Soul!!!

I am so sorry for his family. How can he jeopardize his life like that for a PAY-CHECK. Money does not buy love or happiness. Regard'sd to his family and loved ones. Bj York, Ms.

I didn't know Billy Poole personally, but I'm pretty sure he was jumping off cliffs because that's what he loved to do, not for a "paycheck."  Last time I checked, most pro skiers don't get paid shit.  It pisses me off that this is what your average American thinks of what we do.

Just disregard the comments. They're simply assholes.

Skiing and the passion involved is something only skiers can understand. If they don't, then they don't. There's simply no way of explaining.

Those people have no idea what they're talking about, so don't worry about their comments.  I'm sure I have similar things to say about the superficial lifestyle most of them probably live, however, I have more sense than to voice them on an internet board in an attempt to rid the world of what I percieve as "problems."  Everyone has different values in life, it's just unfortunate that so many people are too narrow-minded to accept this.

57. The shame is that the organs he wasted when he hit bottom may have saved the 18 people who died today in this country waiting on the donor list.

66. The general public needs to understand that this is not skiing, and represents an activity akin to leaping a motorcycle over 20 cars. That's not motorcyling, and this is not skiing! You could just as easily jump off a cliff in a barrel - like at the "falls", and you'd run a great risk of dying. This is what gives the wonderful sport of skiing a bad name among the uninformed.

79. On second thought, good job Billy. Your death will serve a the greater good. People will now have documented proof that you wasted your life performing a stunt that has no value to ones life other than a means of killing oneself. I'm sure your family would have liked such documentation to show you when you announced your plan to kill yourself. What a memory you have left. RIP

93. have to admitt this was cazy and foolish, doing what you like as a job is one thing, but too do a foolish thing like this is stupid and there is no money in the world worth taking your life for and how much fame can a person want? Some of these so called sports are stupid and some are just luck they are not dead, its just a matter of time before you die in a sport like this, plain and simple.

218. 2 bad. He had a death wish. Guys like him that starts deadly avelanches just to get a thrill. R.I.P There are a who lot more nuckelheads ready 2 take over where he has left off unfortunately

its because these people are the type of people who have no life. they most likely are fat pieces of shit who sit inside all day, watching tv, and on their computers, and go to work in their office and sit at a computer some more, their idea of fun is having a friend over to watch tv with them, or if they actually are daring enough to go outside, its to walk their dog. id take dying having fun and doing what i love over dying of a heart attack from too many twinkies any day. and these idiots dont realise that even though he may have died very young, he actually lived more than any of these fags with no life ever will.

how exactly did he die anyway?

those posts piss me off so much.
so much disrespect and hate, no matter how someone dies you say oh well " you F*ckingDeserved IT" it a shame that people who dont understand stilltalk liek that. .RIP BILLY

how did he die? land wrong or something. i heard the cliffwas too big but something must of happened with his body for him to die.

i remeber that one guy, forget his name but before he retired he hucked himself off a 240ft cliff and lived (lucky i guess)

RIP BILLY POOLE

Eddie Aikau goes out doing what he did best and is idolized, this guy is no different. Much respect for him having the guts and talent, everybody shit talking is afraid of what he did, thats why they try to justify it by saying they're smarter than him. The skiing world is a community, and because of that we should show respect for an amazing skier no matter how they go out.

don't put any stock into what people who consider placing second in their office fantasy football poll their greatest athletic accomplishment say about someone like billy poole.  he lived more in the short time he was on earth than any of those rotten balls of smegma will even if they live to 100.

Spot on.

They sit behind a desk all day, and likely hate their lives but trick themselves into thinking they love it. They'll either wander thru life pathetically, or die in a car accident while drifting aimlessly and passionessly thru their lives.

I'm pretty sure that if you could talk to Billy Poole in an afterlife, he would tell yu it was all worth it. The man was living the life he loved, and just happened to be getting paid to do it.
