: 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.
: What the heck?? We finally figure out how to operate this new technology computer thing and the first thing we read is my Pal, Kenny, Can He? Yea,he Ken,is gone!! He was over here, at the N.Mi,State fair, woman comes in, prys me out of traction,screaming, your buddy is at the fairgrounds, and he says get your act over here pronto.We will never forget his neat attitude,and his compusure under pressure,and the stories of life in Cali. I am very sad,Really.
