Sir... Perhaps it is now time for this quote from a book you may recognize: "let he who is without ... cast the first stone" Each day we make choices; some of us make mistakes. Unless you are the one who makes none, well enough said. albatross (a name I call myself because I like to travel long distances alone)

Seriously, at least 1 out of 5 and maybe as many as 1 in 3 , of the general public, (myself and all of us included) are complete fucking retards sometimes. Those that aren't, all the time, are 20%-33.3% of the time, anyway.You can see it out on the road every day. (in Massachusetts anyway) You should see the idiots that kill or seriously injure themselves and their families (footnote: ref: C. Darwin) out on the water in boats. KLRiding across a desert is like sailing single-handed across an ocean. Any one of a couple million stupid little mistakes could have fatal results. Look at the guys who build and fly their own ultralight airplanes. You either got to have some of the the biggest cojones out there or really really pay careful attention to all those little things that could ring your bell. Just think, a slight power sag on take-off might be all it would take. It's called "experience" ,the more you've got, the more YOU KNOW what some of the crucial requirements are and what problems could be encountered. I look at riding like flying but low all the time. In the desert you've pretty much had it, if you don't even think far enough ahead to save your LIFE. I'd at least have the wifey follow me with a Hummer , some cold beer, and a satellite phone to call the heli. -- charlie.... trying to get down into the 20s.

I know many of these fighters get hooked on steroids, and other types of "enhancement" drugs. I wonder if that may have played a role. Maybe depression or suicidal thoughts. Seems like a number of these types have been having bad and early endings to their lives lately.

That's an awful cynical post, Mr. Scott. I prefer to think that this was a person that was convinced of his own invincibility and in love with the desert (read his blog), and unfortunately failed to take the most basic precautions that anyone that travels in the desert should (i.e. a lot of water and a survival blanket that you can use for shade). To you and I, sure, heading out in the desert unprepared is tantamount to suicide, but to him, I reckon it was just an adventure. Unfortunately, he was woefully unprepared and it lead to his untimely demise. God rest his soul. Thanks CA Stu A13

cyn i cal adj. 1. Believing or showing the belief that people are motivated chiefly by base or selfish concerns Stu, I don't think it was a big stretch to consider it. We can all relate to that part of our nature. Don't get the idea I am condemning him for his judgment. Frankly, we are all under a death sentence, but that gets into a big theological debate, especially if we discuss who can overturn it. R

Thank you Mr.Russle Scott,not for just having a cool name(heh...heh),but for a completely accurate opinion,and most importantly showing some compassion for a man who made not just one,but several wrong decisions which when all came together,cost him his life.His athletic contribution to the world of Mixed Martial Arts will be missed.I could not have done it better myself. And I'd like to explain my request for,"Reverend",to please change his name in my last reply.And I'll do it in my "2nd grade" education vocbulary just so "he", and he knows who " he" is!,can follow along and comprehend it. The name itself brings thought of a person of respect and reverence,hence the name itself,Reverend! Reverend would bring the assumption,a man of the cloth,or such.This man is "SUPPOSED" to be NON-JUDGING and have "limitless" compassion.And if he is to continue making these degrading statements about any person! At least have enough consideration for the men who actually uphold this title.I hope I didn't use too many big words for him.(shrug)Oh well,anyway,I applaud you Mr.Scott [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

I used to ride a good bit around Breckenridge when I lived in Colorado. The whole area around there is so incredibly beautiful that every time I topped a new ridge the stark beauty of the landscape would take my breath away. I hope Martin and his riding companion are having as much fun as I used to have in that area! $bob$
