When ya live in a country with 7 of the 10 deadliest snakes in the world, most of the deadliest spiders, box jellyfish, stonefish, great white sharks and varios other beasties, jumpng a motorcycle isn't such a big deal

Yea..but do you intentionally pick those things up and play with them..lol He's intentionally sticking his hand in the cage with the snake. To me theres a difference.

I was more amazed when he dropped back in...I'm not fond of heights so I would have been crapping my pants standing up there let alone droping of the edge.

Me too, crapping my pants for him, bricks too, as I watched live TV. I didn't see any safety nets, one minor error and you're splattered into Tivo history, dead as a door nail. Red Bull wings won't help you if you miss.
Did anyone notice how scared his wife was? That gave me pause, if she's that worried, I know that's a dangerous stunt.

She was because little over a year ago when Rhys was practicing the stunt the truck overshot the cardboard boxes to cushion the landing and he broke and or compressed 5 vertebrae.

"nailed it" is right. he overshot his landing a bit if u watched, thats y he was letting his head lean on the handle bars lol. he came down HARD when he landed. i figure hes gonna hav one helluva headache for another week after that. not knockin him cuz i wouldnt hav even gotten past speed runs. u guys r all talkin bout how u couldnt hav come down, i wouldnt hav even gotten UP.
