Either way he will have something to remember his day in the sun. On the upswing, they were in an isolated place and not on public streets.
Hope he heals well none the less. |

| Re: DON'T SQUID. Ouch, looks like a painful mistake (besides trying to whip a Yam. as a stuntbike) of dropping his formerly left leg too low after a windscreen spreader and forgetting about that suspension bound it looks like.
Either way that has to hurt in an unfriendly manner.

| Re: DON'T SQUID. Before any squidly activity, squids should always know what street they are on. Also, you should hire a professional and dispassionate cameraman who will keep the camera steady so we can see your foot dangling off better without going all Blairville Witch cinema verite` on us. |

Why do squid filmographers insist on running and shaking the camera as soon as the inevitable carnage commences? We're breaking the 4th wall here assholes. |

Hope he heals well none the less. | Not on public streets? looks like an industrial suburb to me (very high percentage of 911 calls for these areas around here). |

| Re: DON'T SQUID. I like where his buddie goes 'Don't worry man, its not that bad'
then he proceeds to tell the 911 opperator that it's the worst he's ever seen... lol

| Re: DON'T SQUID. I'm just going to have to laugh out loud next time I get a smirky look from the sneaker, t-shirt and shorts set when I clop by them in my Alpinestars SMX boots. Yep, my feet are firmly attached to my ankles. |

| Re: DON'T SQUID. You can see in the video how low he's hanging his left foot... just asking for it. Plus they were powering up, shouldve used the clutch... |
