I know most of you youngsters in these forums don't know who this guy was, the most famous dare devil of all time imo.

I owe many of my scars to this man, mainly cus I used to pretend I was him when I was a kid, jumping over trash cans in my super BMX bike.....:D

That really sucks. He had serious heart problems before, so I guess it's best that he didn't suffer.

I can't tell you how many bikes I destroyed jumping stuff. My parents got sick of it and finally bought me a 10 speed (the skinny wheeled kind). Didn't stop me, but i found out quick that those skinny wheels couldn't take much of beating.

RIP EK.

Dont forget the lead singer of Quiet Riot(can't remember his name). He also passed this week.

He mentioned Kevin DuBrow, he was the lead singer of Quiet Riot.

Not lead singer, the drummer. More proof that celebs die in 3's. Creepy.

That's not proof; it's coincidence...
And the football guy was Sean Taylor.
In his career, EK broke over 40 bones! That's insane...

That man influenced a lot of people in all genres of entertaining, a good man indeed. This seems to be a year in which a lot of people are dying, it's pretty odd and sad.

You mean the one where you confessed to being an English-speaking, Peruvian source of crotch reek? Yeah, a few people saw that one. Congrats, maybe we can swap you for IB. It seems like Peru gets the shaft in that deal, but they might need to up their quota of whiny *****es, so maybe it's a win-win all-around.
