Rocking slapper recovery.

How this guy didn't get railed into orbit I can't even guess.

I don't think he did anything.  I think he just lucked out cause the road's wet.

If ever there was a good time for the pavement to be wet, this is it. I was hoping after he recovered that they would keep filming and he would stand up and pull another wheelie in defiance of death.

I sort of had the same thought, though I was prepared to cringe if he did [laugh]

Why do roaches always die on their back?

That because the survivors flip them over to steal their sneakers and wallets.

Woohoohoohoo! Two personal records! For breath holding and number of sharks shot in the face.

Must be pretty easy to get out of those leathers after you mess all over the insides.

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

Turn it off man, turn it off!  It's sucking my will to live!
