I remembered that video you made from the hospital. How you apologized for for pushing people, and warned them of the dangers n such.
But the fact is, through out your tragity, you've become a figure head for doing stunts. A force to push other, and younger people further and harder. You warned to jsut stop fire stunts in your hospital video, but It's not just the fire, it's "stunts".

I put out the video to show if your making a stunt movie..is it worth to use fire, iv never been burnt before. I was shocked more than anyone to see my face after sergury. I can only warn people about fire isnt worth it because I know 1st hand. I never knew how bad it could be, I wanted to show others what it can do in terms of danage, why else would I put my face online. too warn, even scare, if they carry on to use fire, they know the risks, I cant tell people to stop doing stunts. thats up too the rest of the forum. as far as I know 99% of them saw the warn but didnt take any notice. its up to them dude iv tryed my hardest. I think my clip is a very powerful warning. I shouldnt get shitted on because I didnt tell everygroup to totally pack stunts in. the fact is that message was freestyled. no planning. no writing it in my head. I cant tell to never do normal stunts if I plan to do stunts once im 100% again.

All the guys on here have 60+ years left to succeed, get married, have kids, retire and enjoy their whole lives.
Jackass/CKY did stunts, but not this death-defying shit everyone is tryin' to pull now-a-days. It's all been built up in this race "not to be a pussy". And it's not going to end up pretty.

they still have all that to happen. people do die. accidents do happen. but if your doing somthing you know is dangerus you try put that in the back of your mind. I bet anyone who does anything risky will put it there but not totally ignore it.
not everything is death-defying, like you said jackass/cky did stunts and they have basicly done everything. so people get creative and think of stunts they feel they can do what hasnt been played out. so they do. half the time its not what the stunt is that kills people its how the stunt was done...it isnt the planing its the performens, like you said jackass did stunts but nothing death defying, well im sure you've heard lots of storys of people dying doing the same stunts they saw on jackass...people who do stunts KNOW they anit pros...but people will be people and do what they want.

I don't care if I sound like a dad or what the fuck ever. It's true man. The glory you get from HGF is not worth 60+ years of possibilites that you have with the rest of your life.
People think you're the coolest fuck in the world for survining such an ordeal, and continuing on with homegrown. And while it's commendable to keep doing what you love no matter what, I'd still hoped you'd use your some-what expert status to maybe persuade people to be more creative, instead of more dangerous.

the glory iv gotten from fellow stuntmen/film makers is a nice extra. I dont live of it or id have videos out every week all my footage online. I started doing this before I knew about this site,before ckf before I knew other people did this all over the world and I would of carried on. I think I wouldnt of been as good because all I had as gidence was tv and dvds but this is closer to the action. im in a scene.
while I enjoy both creative and dangerous content I dont tell people to do one or the other. im not as big as your making me out to be here. its hgf its self that makes people want to go harder. I wont preach about not doing anything dangerus when my groups been making a dvd packed with danger. people enjoy danger. jackass in its day looked extreme. now it looks weak. people are always looking to up the bar..it happens all the time on this site. again I can no way change this weather you beleave im to blame or can change it. I cant.. no one can.

You went through this shit, you know first hand it's not worth 20 seconds of cool footage.
Anyways. That was my beef. I don't want to see the next "guy falling out of car and dying immitating jackass", to be one of my pals here.

I geust I was one of your pals on here but all you did was make fun of it. whats the difference if I had died. would you of done it still or now because im still alive looking mess you did it so you could kick a man while hes down in a bad bad way?

edit: and about my quote. I was just pointing out how ironic it is that if people don't know a person, they'll just shit on him, and when they do know a person, they're "a hero".
[right][snapback]181244[/snapback][/right]
I said your point was ture but people called me a hero because when the stunt went wrong I remained calm got myself out of trouble but saw my friend hadnt stayed calm and had panicked, I was there to save her no matter how long it took, no matter if I was killing myself each time I tryed, I got her out of danger, stayed calm untill she was in the hands of the paramedics..I kept my head even tho I was dying myself fast and didnt have long to live I risked everything to get her safe. thats why people called me a 'hero' and a 'true friend' if you cant see why they say that I really have nothing more to say to you. im not convice you. im just telling you how it is. you've already made your mind up about me it seems.
