Daredevil Motorbike Rider Dies During World-record Jump Practice, Washington
An experienced motorcycle stunt rider was killed in Washington state as he practiced for an attempt at a world record jump. A.H crashed into a dirt berm during a warm-up jump at the Moses Lake airshow on Thursday. The 28-year-old was thrown from the bike and taken to hospital, where he died. In a statement, the Grant county sheriff said an autopsy would be performed on Friday. The site for the weekend airshow at Grant county international airport was still advertising details of the record attempt. The victim, who was married with two young sons, was already the Guinness world record holder for the dirt-to-dirt category, having jumped 90.69m (297.6ft) in 2013. At the Washington event he was riding a Suzuki 450 as he attempted to better rival Robbie Madison’s 2008 world record in the ramp-to-distance category of 106.98m (351ft). The victim was born in California and lived in Ephrata, Washington, adjacent to Moses Lake, with his wife, J, and sons W, five, and a newborn, W. A GoFundMe appeal on the rider’s website said H. was the family’s sole provider, through motorcycle stunts and a farming job. The site had raised more than $42,000 by Friday morning. He grew up watching the motorcycle daredevil Evel Knievel, and shared his idol’s legacy of “pushing the limits.” One of H’s final Instagram posts three days before his death featured a photograph of his green and yellow motorcycle in front of the ramp with the words: “I’m getting excited to send this thing.” |

Wrong bike. Wrong wind. Wrong prep. Wrong outcome.  |

"Poon Tang!" Did I hear the spectator's yell correctly? If so, the curse is what caused him to crash, Poon Tang will destroy you every time!
