I read that yesterday...
RIP - Hill
So many sports personalities passing away recently.
He will be missed.
R.I.P
Jet skis aren't to be messed around with. I was on a waverunner all day yesterday just in the lake, and one time I hit a boat wake and popped up and nearly came completely off the thing, the heart skipped a couple beats. RIP.Quote:

I ate sh*t! once about 3 years ago at Lake Perris in a jet ski I was hurtin' the whole fwocken day onto the next. I caught a boat wake myself with the side not straight on and I I was going faster then the posted limit and I just flew off the ski like a rag doll that shit! hurt like a mutha....

But yeah, once you go a little bit faster then a steady speed, you start to lose control.
It's such a tragic thing. I heard that he saved the life of the woman he was out with, and that he would have probably been OK if he wore a life jacket. Twenty-four years old. Shame.
They say death comes in sets of three... I for one believe them.Quote:
