I was just saying the same thing. These extreme sports competitions are pushing the limits of human ability. A guy was recently paralyzed from the neck down after a fall trying to do a double backflip in Moto X. Sooner or later some of these kids are going to get killed. I know why they keep doing it- ratings and money, but the organizers of the competitions need to show some common sense and scale back the insanity.
