  • @PSILOCYBETRIBE have some respect for him wuld you

  • RIP Colin

  • read my comment from top to bottom for full story, very sad

  • Winkelmann, Colin - this super-talented bicycle distance jumper from Greenville, North Carolina was born on February 26, 1976 in Columbus, Ohio. He owned the following distance world records when he died: Ramp to ramp, ramp gap: 85 feet over 13 sport/utility vehicles on a DK bicycle at Paramount Ranch, CA in March 2001; Ramp to ramp, total jump distance of

  • 116 feet, 11 inches, same jump; and Ramp to ramp, clear gap, 79 feet, same jump. His jump over 13 SUVs was also the world record jumping a bicycle over cars. He was a competitor in the X Games, Gravity Games and many other competitions. He was a professional rider, product designer and developer for DK bicycles and a bicycle mechanic. The 29 year old innovator was seriously injured in a crash in late 2004 during a best trick

  •  contest at Travis Pastrana's compound where he attempted a jump over a conversion van moving head-on and shattered both ankles, dislocated his left ankle, double dislocated his right ankle, shattered his tibia in the left leg and mangled some cartilage, broke his navicular bone and dislocated two other bones in his left wrist, and fractured his L3 vertebrae. He was just getting back to riding again after months of being bed-ridden and wheelchair bound.

  • Distraught after the breakup between him and his girlfriend which resulted in her leaving, he committed suicide on August 11, 2005 when he started his chopper in the garage and inhaled the fumes. RIP he did this at pastranas house btw..he didnt die bc he wasnt able to ride again..he killed himself bc his stupid bitch girlfriend dumped him...fuk that bitch may tshe rest in hell

  • what was this recorded on a potato???

  • not nice but good flatliner whip...:D

  • omg dude wtf

  • Story behind this: He broke both of his ankles and was paralyzed from this accident. Years later lost most of his sponsors, and eventually his girlfriend broke up with him. I guess he felt like he didn't have anything to live for and gassed himself to death in his garage. Not sure how many people know about this but i heard from a legit source. Rest in Peace, Colin.

  • @gatlyngun it only takes one accident like that to ruin your life, that's why you got to be careful

  • @gatlyngun

    Link to story?

  • @gatlyngun

    Nevermind.

    The idiots name was Colin Winkelmann. Looks like he couldn't deal with the massive side effects of being severly retarded and became and hero.

  • @gatlyngun im sorry to say but he really didnt need to commit suicide because my grandfather had worse: broke both ankles and both wrists on xmas eve (when he was 22 like 55 yrs ago) and his wife was 6 months pregnant.

  • @xEddy3013x but he was also paralyzed

  • @Ianmakingvideos true my mistake i misread that part. either way it was such an unfortunate ending

    RIP

  • @xEddy3013x yeah just saing

  • @gatlyngun everything u said is correct except he was not paralyzed, he brok vertabre in his back. he was able to walk unassisted after many months, but this ultimately did not matter in the end. Nevertheless, RIP Colin.

  • Yep. I can see why this didn't work.

  • Tony hawk dont work :D

    

  • thats jim dechamp :D

  • @HalesNoobs NO, he is not.

  • I love how as soon as i finished the video i got an ad asking me if i wanted to rent a van lol

  • I am curious, did anyone from the "Compound" go on record and state that it was a really BAD idea to drive a van, with a scoop (ramp) attached to the front, straight at a guy riding a bike? Just one? Perhaps, one individual taking a quick look and stating; "Oh God no, that is a bad idea". I mean you do not need a physics degree to know that was extremely "unlandable"...you know a moving landing with the stunt rider moving in the opposite direction...right?

  • much love to people that push the limits if that is true

  • That's right, he committed suicide! after this jump and break both ankles, also had other injuries and personal problems. he was in a deep depression until he committed suicide in 2005. His name: Colin Winkelmann. can find it on wikipedia.

    He was a great rider.

    R.I.P. Colin.

  • @juanbmxstreet RIP colin

  • What a chump!

  • Yeah, this guy didn't die, but he did commit suicide in 2005. In this accident he shattered both his ankles, and broke some other bones and also his L3 vertebrae.

    He's mentioned on this site (just search for "moving van") w w w (dot) johnnyairtime (dot) com (slash) jumper_death_list (dot) htm

  • he was flying (:

  • the best is when he backflips a tricycle

  • rest in peace collin well all remember you from a fan and the guys at the phathouse Thumbs up if you feel the same

  • rest in peace collin well all remember you from a fan and the guys at the phathouse

  • Holy faack..! o:

  • trolls!, trolls everywhere

  • he didnt kill himself dumbasses look at the start of the video its him talking about the crash

  • RIP

  • Did he break his legs

  • I want a link to a media posting of some type before I believe that he died from this.

  • too bad bc thats so awesome

  • This is actually not funny.... the guy in this video found out he would never walk again and then commited suicide....

  • Did he really really died of this?

  • @Zyphera yup

  • He died after that, srsly

  • try again.....

  • was this filmed with a toaster

  • omg is the bike OK ????

  • It had potential.

  • bad idea

  • I am still upset he didn't use his suicide to entertain me. Carbon Monoxide poisoning in a garage? BORING!

    And he didn't even video tape it.

  • @nbachmann you are a terrible person.

  • @nbachmann uve either got a fucked up sense in humor, or just a fucked up personality. now which one is it?

  • Comment removed

  • Colin Winkelman r.i.p, tbh i think this video should be left up, maybe change the title to something a little more tasteful. If my last bike jump left me in such a bad way, then i would want a record of it on video so people can see what happened and remember me

  • Parachute deployment failure.

  • What goes up must come down.

  • He almost did a whipe to flat... STREET!!!

    

  • Hey your doing it wrong :)

  • He got killed in hospital and years later a guy did it to honour thiss guy.i saw this in tv.program name daredevils.

  • Shouldn't he have known that if the van was moving, the ramps would also move away from him?

  • @benzima368 lol

  • After reading a few comments I felt bad for watching this .. don't get me wrong i enjoy watching a good fail vid as much as the next person.  However, if it's true that he killed himself as a result of this incident (which was brutal) i think it would be in good taste to take it down.. out of respect if nothing else

  • @Amoostoons He did not die you silly =p

  • really? ok im glad to hear it.. was just reading some of the comments and it sounded like he did :( If indeed he didn't die then it's a pretty awesome vid jk jk

  • @Bazzabazeman he did type the guy's name on google and go on to the wikipedia link then it should say he suicide

  • @Bazzabazeman I'm sorry his name iisnt in this vid but still he did kill himself

  • @Bazzabazeman his name was Colin Winkelmann

  • @Amoostoons its sadly true.. r.i.p

  • @Amoostoons Uh he probably only shattered his legs and ankles

  • that ent a funny vid because the guy broke his leg then later commited suside over it think about that

  • @Amoostoons wtf? look at the start. "a young man has been injured" not killed.

  • @SUPDOG558 he commited suicide cause he couldn't ride anymore R.I.P

  • @kwaakmaarraak oh... derp :S

  • @Amoostoons LOL THAT PUSSY KILLED HIMSELF FOR THIS??!!!!?!!!!!

  • jim dechamp dint kill himself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Fake and Gay!

  • @MattJFX You're homosexual. You know the word "Gay" means happy. Right?

  • his suicide proves his life was all about riding and adrenaline... respect for his skills and devotion.. R.I.P.

  • at least he had the guts to do it and is he OK!?

  • stttttttttupid

  • R.I.P. Colin

  • What do these people think is going to happen when they do stupid stuff like this?

  • yh my toaster can't record for shit either.

  • I don't feel sorry for him in the slightest, he did something incredibly stupid and paid for it. "Six months on from the crash, he was able to walk unassisted, although notably with a limp." Good for you! you can walk unassisted! But I guess since you can't ride right that second you're just going to kill yourself. What a pussy. How incredibly selfish and immature. I know I'll probably get lots of flack for this but I don't care. I'll save my pity for someone that deserves it. Not this tool.

  • :(

  • pour bike i feel sorry he failed

  • holy shit he can fly... or not...:'(

  • he suffered severe injuries, including breaking both ankles, fracturing a vertebra, and breaking several bones in his wrist.

  • waz he ok

    

  • @MrHelloyourface Ya he was definitely okay, not like he went 40 feet in the air broke everything then killed himself later because he could never bike again.

  • hahaaha he is dead..his fault

  • @Cz1385 laughing at a man that died i hope u die just please die you fucking discrace

  • @SampAndGTA yea..i can laugh at him if i want...that dumb ass was going way way speed limit..HIS FAULT... and death is natural it happens every day..

  • @Cz1385 You're death isn't natural if you commit suicide dumb ass.

  • @mattchumley95 Your*

  • @xXAd4MXx Oops. Spelling error.

  • Like a good neighbor state farm is there. WITH A MATRESS!!!!

  • RIP Colin Winkelmann greatest BMX legend ever!

  • Fucking fail? Lol badly designed

  • R.I.P Colin !

  • He must be busted up after that?

  • @matthew6ification yeah hes dead

  • @theflash386 RIP Colin

  • I just cant stop laughing lol

  • @peterasimpson dude this guy died

  • OMG!!!, he actually did died. And i hate it when ppl say that.

  • @helicopterpilot88,

    You are so right, we do a lot of dumb things as kids, but then grow out of it, or most of us do anyway. When I was a kid I would walk across the very top of the railroad trestle going over the Susquehanna River with friends on just a dare. bottom line: with age comes intelligence, for most people.

  • you know whats kinnda wierd he killed himself but he could walk but not ride again??

  • I had to replay it to make him go,"WHEEEEEEEEEEW!!!"

  • pretty sure having the bike above your head is a bad thing, right?

  • 0:20 broke arms , legs, neck, back, face, etc.

  • Next time try landing in a trailer full of foam blocks.

  • @snowsfater He killed himself..

  • I think he left some basic physics out of his calculations maybe.

  • @K5H13760 Too funny. My comment was to be..."Physics 101 anyone?"

  • ................ stupid guy...............

  • lol

  • Does it blend?

  • Comment removed

  • @josh4d1 look at the top comment then look at yours, IT'S THE SAME FUCKING SENTENCE UR USING!

  • Not a physics major, I think that's a safe bet.

  • what could go wrong? oh wait

  • is the bike ok ?!?!?!?

  • He killed himself over his injuries because he was told he couldn't ride anymore.

  • What was he thinking

  • idiots can fly... that means i can jump out of my window right now

  • What did he fucking expect to happen?

  • did he died?

  • You dumbfuck he didnt die because you this. He is like on every new episode of Nitro Circus. Get your facts straight faggot.

  • @Dillonyoshi he killed himself cuz he couldnt ride anmore. you my sir a an uneducated dumbass!

  • @Dillonyoshi LOL all I can say is wow!!! It only takes a little googling to actually find out that this kid killed himself because he couldn't ride anymore. and you even threw in the get your facts straight faggot!!!! Priceless!

  • @Dillonyoshi yo dumb shit look at Jim DeChamp hes in fucking side retard and the kid was out pay the fuck attention

    

  • @Mitre30 LOL! im on my 23rd time reading your comment and it still makes absolutely nooo sense!

  • LOL Cant fix stupid

  • maybe the driver should hit the brakes so he could make it ON the landing ramp not OVER it

  • r.i.p.

  • Oh, its from Nitro Circus right?

  • he obviously doesn't understand gravity...

  • how r they going to land.... fail

  • The guy who was trying to do this was Colin Winklemann, a pro BMX rider. He got severely injurned (broke most of the bones in his legs) and was in hospital 6 months on rehabilitation.... It was so stressing for him that he will not be able to ride anymore that he committed suicide on 9th August 2005.

    RIP Colin

  • Ouch, that happends when you skip physics at school
