What about cliff diving at Acapulco? How pointless can you get? But it's still fun to watch.


Imagine the finesse, just keeping the wheels skimming. A sudden blip downward would mean a 150 mph face plant, no fun.

It wasn't

LOL, I just thought it was sort of one of those silly, death defying things like trying to make a 200mph lap at Indy Joey Chitwood style.

And what's wrong with being in Mexico?
