From the "What could possibly go wrong?" department......

Land speed racer Sam Wheeler dies at Utah's Salt Flats

200 MPH.
Fish-tail.
Cue the trumpets.

 

[Riptide]

He really did die doing what he loved. Right to the max.

 

[Songbird]

Great scene from the Brown Bunny is when Gallo rides his bike into the yonder of the Salt Flats.

 

[JohnHammond]

Inaccurate thread title. These drivers know what could go wrong, and they are addicted to the thrill.

There's an entire movie?

 

[User 1019]

There's way better scenes than that in The Brown Bunny.

 

[Donny in his element]

If he loved eating salt, he certainly died doing what he loved.

There's one that blows.

But I like the end of hte scene because of the way you just watch him fade further and further away and out of focus.

 

[TheSportsPredictor]

If you can die at age 72 doing that, you lived a pretty good life.

I'm headed to the Brown Bunny wiki.

Yeah, but they blurred the focus manually at the end.

"High Plains Drifter" did it better.

Not kosher.

 

[Inky_Wretch]

Thought this was a preview of the skydiver jumping without a parachute into a net tonight on Fox.

 

[Smallpotatoes]

He was 72 and still doing this stuff?

Wow.

 

[old_tony]

He was 72 and still doing this stuff?

Wow.

Not that it's comparable, but I still love talking about it: My dad will be 79 in six weeks and water-skiied yesterday.

That's still very impressive. Good for your dad.

 

[Vombatus]

My dad is over 80 and ****s any chance he gets. And he gets.

Much respect there, too.
