so i agreed. it s a fun experience. aaron and the other riders love doing stunts and can t resist the thrill of the open road. around here there s not many places. it s easier just to go on the road. it s not as safe. it s not safe at all, but we come out here on the road and ride our bikes and we do wheelies. the wheelie is aaron s personal favorite. when you first start out doing wheelies, it s probably one of the scariest things you have done. you are like, holy cow, this thing has tons of power. and you get off and your hands are shaking. that august day seems perfect for a joy ride. after all, to aaron, what day isn t? it is a perfect day for riding, really. just not my day. danielle crowley isn t expecting anything out of the ordinary, just the boys doing their usual antics. that s what they like to do. it s their fun, it s their release. you know, he s going to do a wheelie, he s going to come back
i think the reason that kevin ended up flipping his race car as violently as he did is kevin and his crew made a guess about setup on the car. they made a guess on how fast that car could get through the corner and how they could adjust the race car in order to get him through that corner, and i think they guessed wrong. but experienced drivers like tony know, you ve got to take the spills with the thrills. that s part of racing. ask anybody in this pit. that s part of this deal. if you go fast, that s going to happen. some guys are fortunate and some guys get themselves in bad positions. coming up two gymnasts learn the laws of physics the hard way. we knew it was going to be dangerous. i just remember hitting the horse, being in a huge amount of pain. it s a terrifying moment. hey terry stop! they have a special!
when i watch the footage, i see that i m really just not focusing on what i m doing. i m sort of all over the place. if i could go back there, i would, you know, try to i wouldn t jump. for alex, the recovery is long and painful. i ve had about five surgeries. i had one surgery in santa fe, new mexico, and then i was flown back to ohio where i had three more surgeries and basically had a lot of metal put in my body. the initial recovery took about two months until i was able to walk again. you would think after this experience i would stop jumping, but i sort of had the reverse thing happen to me. i wanted to jump more. alex and his brother returned to the rio grande gorge bridge a year later to try again. this time, alex skips the acrobatics and pulls his chute
right away. yes! oh, my god! yes! sick, dude. yes! alex continues to seek new challenges and has since completed more than 600 base jumps. that was the craziest [ bleep ] i ve ever seen. to me, base jumping is the celebration of life. when i jump, i just feel like i m alive. most of the people in these stories went right back to their favorite activity. if what gets you going is challenging yourself and if you happen to capture your feat on camera, we can all experience the secondhand rush. i m contessa brewer. that s all for this edition of caught on camera.
i was very lucky to get into kite boarding. i did it for myself and got sponsored by two different companies and finally started my own kite company. kite boarding combines the appeal of boarding, riding the waves, with the pleasures of flying through the air on the kite. the main thing with kite boarding is the jumping, is the hang time. everything happens up there in the air. kite boarders can spin, pop off stationary obstacles and get really big air. i like the how you call it, the adrenaline. i like pushing the limits. but of course, you have also the chance of getting hurt, so it s the chances you take. but because he knows the risks, dimitri stresses safety. he s also a husband and father to two, cameron and olivia. he hopes to be there for them for a long time. dimitri teaches the sport and cameron is among his best pupils. you need to get lessons. it s a dangerous sport. you know, there s been a lot of accidents, a lot of death. it is a dangerous sport. his kn
