I can't post the video as I'm on mobile so if someone could embed it that would be sweet. Sorry if its a repost.

What are your guys thoughts and opinions on this? Glad he went and did it, living his dream. Cool that people want to step up and pay possible fines that might result from the incident.

Pretty dumb that somebody is willing to pay for that for him. He seems to have handled it well (from the little that he said in the article). Nothing too special here, he did something illegal, got caught, got fined, payed the fine.

Pretty cool video though, I'm guessing I'm not the only guy who had to hit the mute button because that song was awful. I've got nothing against dubstep but the intro sounded like somebody held a mic to close to a speaker.

That guy helped build the bike park in my home town, I think he knew he was going to get fined...apparently it was only 300 dollars or something so really it was more of a fee than a fine and his sponsors probably paid for it too.

Breaking news water is wet, and snow is slippery.


People get charged with trespassing all the time. There are just fewer people basejumping than skating/bmxing.
