Oh Yeah, I remember going off of an embankment into an alley and flipped over the handlebars of my bike scrapping both knees and elbows and hoping it would leave scars cause I wanted to be just like one of the boys and like EK. May he RIP.

I read about him just a couple of days ago when he settled his lawsuit with Kanye West and I remember thinking then about the time I jumped my BMX bike off a plywood ramp and into the farm pond. He was definatley my inspiration on that and many other "stunts" around the house growing up. I remember several trips to the ER for me and my brothers after trying to jump over various obstacles. For instance, jumping our bikes off a ramp with six cinder blocks (three high, each side) under it and trying to clear a round bale of hay. Got 10 staples in my head for that one (handlebars). Or better yet, one brother tried to jump over three of his siblings (me included) laying side-by-side. Take a wild guess at what happened the end guy! He will be missed. Truly a legend and a hero to me.
