Aussie kitesurfer David Sheridan was minding his own business when he was struck on the back of the head by a whale tail. Sheridan wasn't aware of the whale underneath the surface, but his sail-mounted camera caught a glimpse of the huge creature as he surfed over it. With frames taken every 10 second, it caught the scene just before the slap. "It was more of a push than a punch. I expected more," the kitesurfer said.

Exactly, one of the world's best sports that never gets the attention it deserves.
Stop by my site sometime: http://www.mountainbiketales.com
Tell me about it. It's hardcore stuff and people are still hung up on fairybooting in the Xgames. Know of any decent trails near you?
That`s a motorcycle not a bicycle.
Mayors, CITY'S, etc., how much proof do you need that we must have a Stadium of Dreams, USA amateur action sport and motocross facility for training and education for our youth. Action sports are NOW and the FUTURE. More youth participate in skating, motocross and BMX than all the traditional sports combined! As well as a large percentage of their parents....it is a FAMILY adventure and bonding experience!
Support and promote this by emailing STADIUMOFDREAMS@aol.com

Hi what's up guy's?? I was one of the first to put supercross on the map. I don't know how old you guy's are? But My racing name was Bob Hurricane Hannah. I won all three classes in 1978 125-250-& open class. I just stumbled onto this sight. These day's I am restoring planes old ones from WWII And one I used to race in reno nevada. Anyway these guy's in the x-games make the stuff we did look like nothing! But!!! They are not in shape! And only make a 90 second run lol I had to race 45 all out moto's against Roger Decoster 5 time world chap. Up at Unidilla in new Berlin new york. We had to be in shape and had to watch out not to get hurt with multi million dollar contracts. Anyway I have respect for these guy's But there is no way to try and compare the two different breads. And if not for us real motocrossers there would be nothing like the extreme X-game we have now! Just remember where it all started is all Sincerely Bob,You can e-mail me at MickDeC1@aol.com it is a friends e-mail I use.
