Ben Haskins out of ICU, bored....

[t-b0ne]

eh.  why even bother.

[revphil]

There is prob a valid reason to take some action

When in doubt, try comprimise!

Ben is there some less dangerous way to stay involved?

 The other thread I started was solely for the purpose of letting Ben know how the community @ large felt about his decision, so as to possibly influence him to make a safer one, not tell him what to do.  If you read the words, and not into the words you will see just that;  A community of people attempting to influence someone who regularly participates to make a wise decision(for the most part) and NOT people telling someone what to do outright.

I believe this thread was started as a progress report on Bens injuries, not as a scolding.
Ride like the wind Ben!!! (When you quit itching and being butt sore) 

[Skid]

wtf

are you guys his parents? i didnt think so. when did you guys start telling people what to do?

i broke my tailbone bombing.nobody told me to stop. Anna used to bomb with her crutches. she got respect. leave the poor kid alone. its his life.

this new-found sense of parental responsibility does not suit any of you.
honestly(and this is only directed at those who actualy bomb) what if somone told you not to bomb?!?!

Your tailbone is not essential to walking and ambulating in general, like your pelvis is. Anna had what, a broken ankle? Re-injuring it would not cripple her for life, it would have just made her recovery time longer. And you forgot about Legally Blind Chris bombing with a broken leg.

The big difference is that you, Anna, and LBC are legal adults, making decisions for themselves. Ben is a minor, and whether or not he is capable of making decisions for himself, he still falls under his parent's responsibility legally. There is always the danger of the parent of a minor who get injured Zoobombing deciding to make a big stink about it, and at the very least cause another wave of harassment from law enforcement.

+1 (and i NEVER give +1...)

You also forgot Dogeye bombing on a tallbike with a broken leg, that he broke on Zoobomb.

[Ben Asskinz]

I have not bombed with zoobombers on the hill since my accident   and that is all their is to it

[Skid]

Who's being an asshole to you?

That was directed at Cupcake, and I wasn't being and asshole anyways, unless being objective and honest is being an asshole.

[Bumble The Boy Wonder]

You can call them assholes if you want, but I tend to like people that try to save my life or keep me from being paraplegic.

ben as a bro trust me. i know you like bombing and i know whats happened but seriously you need to slow down for a while. it will be better in the long run if you just stick to what your lifetime priorities are, which is school, making sure you heal (correctly without further injury), and keeping the one thing you like from being destroyed by a mistake you made. i know it sucks but i agree with the rest. it wont help to fuck yourself for life just for a thrill if you even have a minor crash. just let it heal and then you can catch up the pace again.
