: had just came out, well I wish I had gotten

: This board hasn't been the same since Ken
: Mackow's passing. I really liked reading
: his comments. He never flip flopped on them
: either. He was a Thrill Show ramp to ramp
: jumper that believed the "seat of your
: pants" style of jumping was not only
: more exciting than today's jumping but, also
: harder. He never said that these long
: distance jumps weren't dangerous. He just
: said many of times that it didn't look
: dangerous. Personally, I think they're all
: dangerous looking but, Ken did have a point
: especially when looking at the motorcycles
: the Thrill Show jumpers used.
