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.
