Intent on setting a new height record in BMX quarter pipe, Kevin Robinson must put his balls to wall and get up to 45 miles per hour to clear a total of 27 feet above the quarter pipe wall. And, not only does he do it in a matter of seconds, but he doesn’t even blink an eye.
Just the view of him waiting at the top of the ramp to attempt the stunt makes me a little queasy because of the sheer height (60 feet), and I’m not afraid of heights! But if I’m on anything with wheels that aren’t connected to some track, then I start to feel the butterflies in my stomach.
Without hesitation, he takes it on and does it like he’s been doing it all his life. The only conclusion I have is that these guys must be adrenaline junkies and never quite gained that conscious that the rest of us gain as we approach adulthood.
