So what happend to him. I would like to see the rest. I see nothing but a kid starting to pull a flip off a bench.

I was hoping for a bit more splatter.

The kid has definitely potential for a Darwin award!

I kind of have to wonder what the heck he was thinking, or not thinking. His intent appeared to be to get the front wheel up on the wall. Even if he'd made it, what the heck did he think the back wheel was going to do?

Looks like if he'd "made" it he probably would have busted the back of his head on the arm of the bench.

Ok, I finally got the rest to play and it is not so bad. His face lands in the bushes. He will have a good bruise on his chest though.
