Skater crash takes two

Very well said.

I didn't know these guys. Certainly knew of them.

I'm struck over and over by the amount of talent and potential that was lost this time, along with all the personal loss to family and friends, of course.
Since the accident I have run across various things about each of them. It's quite clear that many great things were yet to come from the genius of both guys. I think that Jeff was only 47.
Not only will friends and loved ones miss them dearly, it just seems that there are things that won't be invented, won't be built, or developed or designed.
That kind of spreads the impact to the whole sport in an additional and unique way than the deep personal loss that family and friends suffer.

Speaking of which, my thoughts and prayers go out to their friends and families. To those who we may not know, and those among us: I'm very sorry for your loss.

Well said, they certainly had a lot of potential left....

The Lake Cumberland Rules


•Minimum separation of 100′ fore and aft and 50′ side by side between boats on plane.
•HAVE FUN – BE SAFE!

Nothing about going close to spectator boats?

In the crash video you see one boat changing course to go between stationary spectator boats who may have been drifting or had swimmers in the water, at the very least the rules need updating and strictly enforcing?

Yep , certainly not save (or sane) driving previous to the accident.
