I want the cam, but for someone who's 'supposedly' that good. He's very irresponsable. Deserved the wipeout IMHO, glad he only suffered minor injuries though. Hopefully he learned his lesson.

Hardly stupid or irresponsible, slight misjudgment maybe. Would it be better if he was jumping a dolls house?

Could have cost him his life though. I mean he was only 'just' making it over the top.... If it was that much of a struggle to clear it then (in my opinion) it's a bit silly. Especially if you're moving that fast. towards wooden posts...

Ouch indeed! Could have been nasty. I think its a bit harsh saying he deserved the wipeout!
Good on him trying something extreme like this but a helmet would have been a good idea and I guess he was just unlucky that he didnt clear it. When you look at his options though, if it didnt feel right he didnt really have a way out once he got in to the jetty area. It was either up and over or in to the building.....

He could've looped if he'd seen it coming probably, looks like he wasn't going to make it then got a bit of a gust and pulled into it.

Perhaps deserving the wipeout is harsh, no one really deserves a wipeout. Maybe the lesson though from it though...
