Same here EG. He was real big when I was a kid and I always looked forward to whenever he would do one of his jumps. I would follow everything he did. I remember one time when he was doing a jump at an old arena out here called the Cow Palace. I forget what it was he was jumping,but it was a small arena and he crashed on the landing and broke his ankle. I wasn't there,but they have pictures of it at the arena.
What's the story with himk and Robbie? I know they were on the outs for a while. Did they ever make up? I didn't see any qoutes from Robbie in the story in the paper.
