 | cameronmx9 | mannn this sucks...... PETITION AGAINST GREENE COUNTY POLICE DEP! |
| pelphrey | Sad. But why blame the park and the owner.... |
| kerriex_xberrie | Michael was my best friend and he died on my Birthday and I`m sure if anyone so against shutting that place down had family or friends die there they'd understand. I don't care how safe everyone claims that place is. apparently it's not. RIP#12. ily MSM |
| grandeman | Before long, we can all just huddle together on our couches and never move in the name of safety. I feel terrible that accidents have happened, but what does that have to do with people who choose to ride? We have many highway accidents, should we quit d |
 | honda328i | Can't get the video to work. Hate to see anyone get hurt or worse, but life isn't a padded room  |
| motocrouse | Durhamtown is safe. I ride there a lot. It is also ride at your own risk... Anyone who suggests that it be shut down is a complete moron...regardless of who killed themselves due to a lack of skills &/or common sense! Period. |
| bigjeff | Dp didnt kill your friend. The fact that he chose not to strap on his helmut probably contributed. Was there that day, sad day.When its your time to go, its your time. Die happy . Michael isnt dead. Remember that. |
| kerriex_xberrie | okay I understand where a lot of you are coming from and maybe it's just hurt that makes me want to have that jump gone. but motocrouse, how about you act just a little respectful? Dont say crap about lack of common sense if you didnt know him. thanks. |
| justamom | What ever the facts are, is anyone listening to the fact that 4 people died in 8 months? Is there any other parks with those stats?Um, NO. Stop placing blame with everyone & name calling. If there isn't anything to hide, why the fuss? |
| christinaboo24 | Well I have been to Dp several times and I will say Mike has made every attempt possible to make it as safe as possible. The way Fox5 is saying that Mike is heartless and doesn't care! You cannot blame the equipment if the operator is the problem.. |
| christinaboo24 | My heart goes out to the famlies for their lost but like I said if you think about this incident and compare it to how many other riders have cleared the same ramp in the same location...hhmm... |
| turbotexas | The Stepfather should have charge filed against him. With All his socalled experience he should hve never let that kid do this and now he is trying to blame someone else. I am sorry for his families loss, but don't put the blame on someone else!!! |
| josh_101 | Its very sad to hear about a rider loosing his/her life, but cant some people just leave our sport alone?!?! Accidents happen all the time, you dont see the DOT shutting down roads because some kids were being stupid end up costing there lifes do you? |

| kerriex_xberrie | okay well seeing as all of you are idiots and pissed off about this and just feel like you know everything have fun and if you end up dying oh well I guess you're just too stupid to ride, huh? cause that's how you all come off at Michael. so f you. |
| kerriex_xberrie | and Michael's stepdad didnt have anything to do with it. we ALL told Michael not to take that jump but his parents were fighting with him and he did it, because it was not in an advanced place for riders that knew how to handle jumps. not anyone's fault |
| kerriex_xberrie | not even Michael's eventhough all of you think you KNOW him and know that it was his fault that he died. Michael was a good rider, he just wasnt experienced in that jump and where it was placed, he though he could land it. he always wanted to go off of |
| kerriex_xberrie | it and he died doing what he loved. that's the only thing that keeps me sane, is knowing that he died doing it. and your heart doesnt go out to anyones families if you're gonna sit there and say stuff like that. but whatever. good luck to all. |
| bigjeff | no one is at fault for michaels death. not dp or his family or michael. everyone needs to quit pushing blame. dp is safer than many other parks, most georgia parks have no emts nor do they have a 100,000 people attend a year. nothing brings michael back. |
| bigjeff | or the other people thats died there. do what makes you happy and teach your kids that there is life after death, and its not a bad thing, because like it or not we will all die one day. michaels mom and dad, sorry about your loss. lost a daughter. |
| bigjeff | know how you feel, but you wont save others from dieing unless you have a special connection with god which is cool. If that ramp wasnt there your son was going to die that day. I believe he died that day doing what he enjoyed and he's looking down on us |
| bigjeff | saying dont be mad Im in a lot better place trust me you'll enjoy it to one day. Remember all the children that die every day in the world, from cancers and other ills, or baseball and other sports. Enjoy life and the short time your here because there |
| bigjeff | is one thing i can promiss you, you will to die one day. The choice is up to us wether we go to our loved ones one day. Make the right choice, I know I will!!! |
| ravencr | People need to compute the # of deaths as a percentage of total # of riders that go to this park, not just the # of deaths. The only reason this is an issue is because it's a private park. It's not the owner's fault. |
| hondamototech | Kerriex, let me start by saying as an off road rider for over 30 years I don't appreciate being called an idiot by the likes of you. I have taught all 4 of my children to ride and NONE of them would take off on a freestyle ramp because of an argument |
| hondamototech | with me or their mother. They were taught personal responsibilty, something your friend and his parents seemed to lack. Nobody should be blamed for this tragedy but if someone is going to place blame may I suggest they look in the mirror before they do. |
| hondamototech | I sat in the Greene county court house last Friday with about 130 other riders (all in riding gear) to make sure OUR rights aren't trampled on by those that refuse to take responsibilty for their own lives and actions. Mrs. Darby was there and I felt |
| hondamototech | deep sorrow for her, I could not imagine losing one of my own. But to go around blaming everyone else is just wrong. Durhamtown supplied the ramp but they did not give the boy the dirt bike or the training to be responsible with it. THAT was the parents |
| hondamototech | responsibility. Bottom line is we kept Durhamtown open, we protected our rights and we will ride at the safest off road park in the state this weekend. Idiots? I think not!. |
| 87yota | been there, wrecked there, been carried away from there in an ambulance, going back in november w00t  |
