It's in portuguese, but the pics speak for themselves

Quite impressive. And a quite stupid idea in the first place

I don't understand what he was thinking.
Hell, I would have a better chance of surviving. He's wearing no protection, comparing with the ones we use in down hilling, and his bike doesn't even have frontal suspension

Evel Knieval he is not.

The song that popped into my head as soon as I saw the first picture was:

"EVEL! / Evel Knievel / EVEL! / Evel Knieeeevel..."

I feel shame.

I found a report on this guy in Yahoo last week. Evidently he screwed up as he went down the jump ramp and ended up missing the safety net entirely. What a way to go. Landing on hard ass stone like that. Must have been terrible for his family to see him die.

Holy Mackeral! I can't believe how high he was in the first shot! Wonder what was going through his mind at that moment? Too bad for his family.

That guy is pretty stupid, but lots of skiiers die doing similar things.

So what? This guy's unique!

Ouch..
Well, what the hell did he think would happen?

...That pink fluffy clouds would catch him and he would soar off into the heavens?
