its funny how they always say "risking their lives and lives of others" makes us gravity freaks sound like a bunch of criminals...

why cant the media just say "they were farkin cookin down a hill really fast and it was sick!!!"
ohh no because that would give a bad influence to others cough* cough*, iff it was a motorbike speeding and swerving over the road going twice the speed they wouldn't even make it on tv, but because it's a sport that no one really knows that much about it, they will ripp on it. and come on there wearing the same gear as a motorbike rider.
Risking the lives of motorists? Wow, think how the lives of pedestrians, cyclists and skaters have their lives risked by motorists every day. Who are the people using the big, heavy human-body crushing machines?

Amazing hypocrisy.
yep that's it bugs, they only care about the catchy head line not about the truth.

just saw it too. absolute wankers. lets hope they don't change any of the current laws that allow us to legally ride the roads (not that that would stop us).
Yea, I am very disappointed with the way the story was cut and the "great" footage they used of the Big Air comp from the late 90's!!!!!!!!!!

Did you notice that the white car that was shown going up the hill when we weren't riding was on the wrong side of the road!!!!!!!!!

I tried to give the guy all the info about safety gear, traffic control and follow cars but of course that was left on the cutting room floor. Guess the only plus was Joe Public can see I'm an old fart and not some young guy and maybe they may take that into account when they form an opinion.

Cheers
