Runaway Snowmobile after a trick jump gone wrong
@kymbos @Fletch @pavel_one
Jackson Strong is an extreme Motocross rider, and a dam good one but he is not a rider of sleds.
Within a week after winning gold in LA, he decided he would try his luck at XGames Aspen. He went out and bought himself a snowmobile just for the event, flew to Minnesota and trained for four hours before arriving to compete. His plan was to pull the same trick he did on his motocross, (called the Jack), only this time on the sled to see if he could pull another gold metal win without even putting in the time to properly train.
Watch this report which happened live at the event: http://videosift.com/video/Jackson-Strong-Crashes-on-his-first-run
"Jackson Strong is great at doing tricks in motocross, but his snowmobile skills need work. Strong only had four hours of experience on a sled, but decided to enter the best trick competition at the Winter X Games anyways. What happened next really needs to be seen to be believed.
I really think that Strong should have thought more about doing this. He is lucky someone did not get seriously hurt because of this stunt. Luckily everyone was paying attention and they were able to bail out of the way before the sled could have done a lot of damage."

There is no way he qualified for an X-Games event with only four hours on a snowmobile. Possible he only had four hours on this particular snowmobile, but I think the report you saw had bad info or just wasn't very clearly stating what info they did have.

Silence on the Power Point limitation? (Money Talk Post)
@dag said "If you have been here six years- more than likely you know the ropes and how things function here and should therefore have more power to change things than someone who has been here for less time."
Change what, dag? What can a new person to the Sift change?
As for the Sift now having more nuance than before, I say phooie on that. I still remember how completely flummoxed I was by all the bells and whistles and promotes and power points and it was all so overwhelming, I lurked for years.
In my opinion, this limitation feels like a punishment for success. Somebody charges in, susses things out quickly, and starts posting quality videos? How is that a problem?
I've seen this before -- sifters who can't get a video into the Top 15 resenting the success of others. Instead of working on their skills to figure out what OTHER SIFTERS WANT, they grouse. I see this limitation as the ultimate grouse against success.
I also know it is a fact that success breeds success, and it can be hard to get noticed. Creating the Talent Scout badge should obviate that -- if a Sifter helps noobs, they will get rewarded for it (dang, where was that badge when I was heavy into my helping newcomer phase?)
I guess I am too much an American -- we love our capitalist system where efforts are rewarded, for the most part. A slogging along, almost communist system grates -- two years before you can earn something. Dang. Although the flip to this is -- if you have real, honest to god money, you can buy your way into power points. Which means this new system is the opposite of egalitarian.
The world is not a dull gray place where everyone is the same. @Drax with his silver tongue? Good lord, that is amazing. @punkinandstorm with her deep reserves of charm and smarts who figured this site out in record time, on top of a great eye for an interesting vid? @eric3579 who has a beautifully tuned sense of quality and works hard to maintain the excellence? @mintbbb who also can spot a winner vid at 25 paces? @kymbos, who delights me with his point of view? @radx who privately keeps me informed on the most amazing worldwide events that otherwise I wouldn't hear about?
Everyone brings something to the table here, in this rich tapestry that is the Sift. I love it here. Mostly.
But I get back to my first question -- how can a noob "change" anything? What are they changing?
Serious Motorcycle Fail
According to the yt comments, he is a professional rider, it was a magazine review for the bike, and the photographer asked him to ride on the wrong side for a clear shot... and he momentarily forgot about the panniers and splat.
The vid description doesn't appear terribly sympathetic, either.
@kymbos this addresses your point too, yes he was on the wrong side.
No, he seriously wasn't going very fast at all, what he looks like he was doing was circling around one of those stump thingies for some stupid reason rather than staying on the path
Richard Dawkins & Ricky Gervais on Religion
Amen. Praise god little G kymbos for saying what people who don't comment (majority of users most likely) would say if they could write and read.
I have officially heard enough about religion from both of these people.
