Mellow Yellow Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 I was thinking about Russian Roulette—with lava bombs the size of Rottweilers occasionally flying over my head and onto the slope below me. Volcano boarding is a gamble. Oh goodie...where do we sign up..... :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 Isn't it bad enough that you have no control over the danger? It also sounds like riding in really - I mean REALLY - poor snow conditions. Let's see - no control over the fact that a lava bomb could hit you any second + crappy conditions. Hey, this guy really knows how to have fun!

Jack M Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 this reminds me of the guy who rode a dirtbike through Iraq during major combat, just to be able to write a story about it. Morons. But hey, it's their life. edit - these people must be vying for Darwin Award contention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTA2R Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 What a TOOL!!! First off, he's trying WAY too hard...to be funny, cool, or like one of the guys from "jackass"- or all of the above. He's succedded tremendously in being a dumbass. Second, he's giving himself WAY too much credit for what, I don't really know. It's just dumb, what's the point? Although "jackass" is dumb, at least they have a clue and (one would assume) consult the pros before attempting their stunts and have EMTs there if necessary. It's surprising a respected publication such as NG would print such a dumb article. Not sure who's more desparate for good material, the writer or the mag. if this guy were to injure himself, i really would have very little pity for him. he would just be the undisputed "dumbass of the world."
