but it's not stupid or dangerous, (not as much as you think) because they are skilled and know their limits. riding a mountain bike seems dangerous and stupid to people who don't ride, but to we who ride the trails and huck big things and know our limits, we know what we can do and it's not dangerous or stupid (as much as others think).

there is an inherend danger in everything, but much of it is mitigated by skill. the guys riding "Crazy" in traffic seem crazy to you, but to them, they know what they are doing.

Lucas might seem crazy, but the guy knows what he is doing, he would be dead 50 times over if he didn't. MadMechanic, the guys you talk about might seem crazy to you, but they apparently know what they are doing.
