  • I want to this event i was about only four years old.

  • bitch got wreaked

  • They run up to see if the bike is ok..... idiots

  • fatality ground winssss!!!!

  • I think he zigged when he should have zagged

  • stupid man

  • Watch the flag. The wind is blowing hard.

  • NOT FATAL -ASSHOLE

  • Not so talented and perhaps not experienced enough? Just saying...

  • ummmmm i think he missed it....

  • Thats why you don't see tiny landing ramps anymore!

  • Looks like he would of made it if he landed on the ramp.

  • a few hundred dollars of extra plywood would of saved dudes life

  • that was a dumb idea

  • He missed the ramp

  • at least he had the balls to try it!!! R.I.P.

  • @stylesbradley: This has nothing to do with balls. This is all stupidity.

  • @PooPoo2U nope,disagree!!

  • @stylesbradley: Having balls is getting yourself out of a situation you couldn't avoid while using courage to do so. Being stupid is voluntarily putting yourself in such a situation for no good reason.

  • @PooPoo2U says the man with no balls

  • @invader010

    you got to be joking?

  • Not a chance in hell he was properly oriented upon takeoff.

    In no way the wind was a significant factor in this crash. Stupidity, a poor takeoff angle (and piss poor planning), and too much speed were the causes of his crash. In other words: he fucked everything up that could be fucked up. Fool.

  • @beeroosterm you've probably never jumped a bike before so dont talk shit if you dont know how much the wind can fuck up a jump. Fool.

  • @jackupastrana The wind was a minimal factor. All the other factors I mentioned were the cause. Plus...it was insane to even try. And fuck you!

  • The width of that landing ramp looks about 8 feet wide, has anyone ever said, "Gee, I think we should make it 20 feet wide"? Am I the only one thinking this?

  • How would this kill you?

  • He crashed because the size of that flag made him blind!

  • niiiiiiiiiiiiice good one!

  • fuck the landing! ima clear that shit.

  • Apparently he didn't have enough talent.

  • @jburr36 Butch did have the talent, but he never should have made the jump because it was to windy that day. I was there and witnessed this I was on the top level of the parking garage next to the sky walk that he was jumping, we could see when he was going over the top he wasn't going to make it ~R.I.P Butch...

  • This guy must have flunked his physics classes

  • To be totally honest when I die I'd rather have people talk about me just like I was alive and be real rather than having a bunch of fake people saying "oh how sad" when they don't really mean it.

  • @Bakersfieldsucks777 So you're that much of an attention whore you'd rather be dead to the point that nothing, zilch, nothing-beyond-nothing, exists, but .. in some dimension (the living dimension) people say you, a being who will never again exist again or be seen, or heard, did some good shit?

  • @lgarvey - nah what I'm saying is that I'd rather have people say bad shit about me then have them say good stuff about me just because I'm dead.

  • ha,ha, dumbshit

  • His crew didn't want him to do it but I think the jump was delayed the day before because of wind and Butch didn't want to let everybody down again so he went for it. I remember when this happened, I was 8.

  • The rider's name was Butch Laswell. A crosswind pushed him three feet to the left of the ramp.

  • HOT ROD FOR SURE, COOL BEANS

    

  • looks like to me that the landing ramp was not in line with the take off ramp !!!

  • he was an experienced stunter, so he knew what was coming here. how tragic, but an occupational hazard here. god rest his soul, and a talented soul at that.

  • wider landing

  • a bigger ramp perhaps?

  • wind got him look at the flag

  • Remember, gravity is just a theory.. like evolution..

  • no people who post comments about people being stupid for posting comments are beyond stupid!!...

  • i do hate to see a good bike trashed

  • People being pissed off about posting comments on this guy dieing are stupid. He was the one who chose to do it. If I were to do something as dumb as that, and die, I would let people mock it, and in turn mock me, because it was my choice.

  • Good take off, bad landing. I think he hit a little hard. Bet that landing ruined his day.

  • another bozo

  • do forget what goes around comes around!!! for those who post smart ass commets about someones death!!

  • Way to much wind for this attempt.

  • Even if he had landed on the ramp he would only have just caught the bottom of it. His take off speed was much too high, he only needed to get over the top. Altogether a pretty amateurish attempt that sadly led to his death. So badly prepared that he may have qualified for a Darwin Award

  • if this guy died doin that jump is it really right to make jokes about it on utube....

  • A crushed trachea can ruin your whole afternoon.

  • the worst thing about this video is the music

  • Comment removed

  • lol 50 000 watt bas boost

  • He died cause of that jump

  • I think that flag should of been a clear sign that the wind was pretty fierce and was going to blow him at least a little of course.,

  • I saw this clip and was told he lived. Hey ho

  • DARWIN

  • Its never the jump, but that sudden stop will just wreck a day.

  • ouch thats ...... gotta hurt

  • Grim reaper doing his job.

    That was an amazing jump and its a shame more safety measures like cardboard boxes for mis-haps such as what happened.

  • as evel said anybody can jump a motorcycle the problems start when you try and land

  • He died. His lungs collapsed and they couldn't be reinflated. Know what you're talking about before opening your mouth. It happened in Las Vegas.

  • what a dumb fuck

  • A video of someone dying and you just couldn't resist adding music to it.

  • hes thinking man I could have had a V-8

  • Fail. A) make a MUCH wider landing ramp. B) Don't jump in a crosswind even though they are all counting on you to do it. C) Shit, I got no C... RIP Homie. Can't really feel all that bad on this one. That was just straight up stupid.

  • Cool! Thanks for reminding me why I'll stick with 4 wheels thanks.

  • The last thing to go through his mind was probably his balls.

  • @hjkeryb ..No, it was his asshole

  • @hjkeryb his balls are so big they can't go through anything :P

  • @hjkeryb That's not even funny. Let's hope you end up crashing a bike and see if you laugh then..

  • @extreme601 Sorry, you'll never see me doing something as dumbass as this. Think hes cool? then go scrape him up off the pavement.

  • @hjkeryb dam thats fucked up but so true

  • FAKE!!

  • he dosent die saw the realy vid

  • @rubbertyson12 He died, was 10 yrs since the previous stunt rider death jump, but this guy deffinitely died.

  • @rubbertyson12 DIED.

  • not fatal

  • Piss Poor!

  • this man did die from this

  • The description says "Ramp to Ramp" that's not entirely accurate... I do feel for the family of the man though

  • red necks

  • @bkxnyxmxx, you say "f... haterz" on your profile, but you use a hateful term "red necks." So who is the hater? Oh, it's okay when people hate, just not people of your race. I see. Why don't you go back to your shit country rather than going to other countries and trying to change things to be like the shit you came from. We don't need inferior crap like you.

  • i am were i came from i was boren in new york iam jus sayin the true red necks aways do some stupid shit

  • Know what he said before he died? "HEY YALL, WATCH THIS!!!!!"

  • Really, or was that just a joke? :)

    Man, that'd be pretty ironic... "famous last words"

  • No he didn't ! Laswell died within minutes after the crash !

  • I just saw this same video on different stunt crashes. He survived this crash. It busted him up pretty bad, but he survived.

  • @draygad

    I saw it when it happened the first time. He died

  • why would he try that with the wind blowing that hard?

  • A. landing ramp unnecessarily narrow. why.

    B. i hope they had marked the center line for the landing on the take off side of that cross walk becuz its a blind jump.

    C. if conditions are bad, wait. what a sad story.

  • haha wtf... why have such a thin landing-ramp??  not so genius...

  • Turn off the fucking music asshole.

  • i was there..the wind was blowing.this guy lost his vision and his pelvic bone came out his ass.

  • ha akward shits in future lolz

  • Change your description.....he didn't "jump ramp to ramp." He jumped ramp to asphalt 38 feet below.

  • lol yea. or ATTEMPTING to jump ramp to ramp

  • nuts into stomach. haha

  • bullshit. this guy was stupid to try that. dont try to play it off retard. take the risk when you need to take the risk. this dude did it to showboat

  • Need a much wider landing ramp

  • I was there when this happend he wasn't going to do the jump cause of the wind think how much the wind was blowing that high up in the air ,but he did anyway, and he didn't die instantly he died on the way to the hospital and i know that for a fact, so there was no way any of you seen him in an interview talking about the crash.

  • Holy crap, he flat landed. Not surprising he died.

  • you measured your Weiner?

  • Even more reason for him to plan his landing a little better

  • Splat !

  • Yes, he did die, the impact collapsed his lungs.

  • fail!

  • How boring would life be if everyone died when they didn't need to ? There are parachutes you don't need to dive without them inviting death. As for getting " pretty much no pussy " Now there's a great reason to expedite death ! Why have such strong desires to prove one's machismo ? Could it be insecurity ? Could it be like the 5 foot 1 inch guy driving the 7 foot tall truck ?? oh no..

    couldn't be that...naaah

  • Only 10% will die,,,,Dick.The rest will have something you never will,,,Guts.

  • or perhaps more intelligent.

  • this was not fatal - he was just hurt.

    they found out a gust of wind pushed him over and thats why he mieed the ramp

  • He was killed.

  • what are you talking about

  • Hey, who moved my landing ramp?

  • LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • hahaha!!

  • samatao.

  • When you do things that have a high rate of injury or death, and get injured or die, that's life. Thanks for coming out!!

  • @doable1 how sympathetic of you, that guy probably has a wife and kids who had to see their dad/ husband go through this.

  • @doable1 oh and by the way this guy died from this, his name was Butch Laswell , look it up. think before you speak and portray yourself as a complete twat

  • What a fucking fool

  • Comment removed

  • HE WAS LAID TO REST @ PARADISE MEMORIAL GARDENS IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA . . . he flat landed on pavement from 55 ft high. His trachea was crushed and he suffered many other internal injuries. Paramedics began transporting him back to Las Vegas in the ambulance, then transferred him to a flight for life helicopter just off the highway. He died in the helicopter while in route to the hospital.

    Read his bio at cyclejumpers com

    RIP Bro, we love and miss you!

  • That was not fatal !!!

  • Comment removed

  • That was very stupid of him. All they want is fame and glory and then you get something like this happening. Anybody could tell that he would never make that jump.... (Hes too fat...) and he's totaly pushing it! AHHH! It makes me sooo angry seeing losers trying to show off.

  • R.I.P. Butch

  • Comment removed

  • he didnt die i seen him on  a tv interview talkin about the crash

  • rip

  • he got merkerd finished

  • This had nothing to do with wind... if you watch properly he practically over shoot the landing ramp completely .. I.e. travelled to far.

    Thus he miscalulated his speed & was going too fast! ...

  • the legnths people will go to just to show off

  • Well that was an accident just waiting to happen.

  • Hey he did die and it was in Mesquite Nevada the catwalk he jumped over is part of the Oasis Casino in Mesquite

  • I don't think he is dead. And yes it was a gust of wind that blew him off target for the landing ramp

  • If you look at the flag the wind is blowing hard, maybe a sudden gust blew him sideways while airborne

  • wow! 

    the sheer stupidity of many people is hard to believe.

  • agree

    silly dude deserves his death and he gets it

  • yap....one less idot in the world

  • how can you even say that

  • Wow, I had never seen or heard about this one until today. What I don't understand is how he missed it by so much?! He was waaaay over the landing ramp on that jump. Normally these guys are much more precise about ramp locations.

  • we did NOT file any lawsuits . . . . we all make our own choices . . . .

  • wow i think that hotel is gonna get sued for everything they got and more by his family. if that was my dad or brother or family of somesort i would sue them, then after i get the money laugh at them for being homeless then throw them in a cold lake in the winter and watch them try and swim =)

  • i was there when that happened. it was in mosquite nv. he didnt want to the jump because of the wind and the hotel made him do it because of his cantract and all the people that had come to see it. at the time it was the highest jump ever attemted. he died when he ate the handle bars with his neck. it didnt kill him instantly it took a few minutes of him choking on his own blood. terrible wreck, i wouldnt call it an accident.

  • That wind is howling check out the flag

  • ouch

  • Please Tell me the name of the Background Music

  • that's a shame. he knew the risks though.

    NAME OF SONG NAME OF SONG NAME OF SONG!?

  • Europe - The Final Countdown.

  • shit, i guess thats what happens when you go big

  • why all the controversy over his death? are you kidding me?  read my previous (2) post, please . . . . I think I should know!

  • this man died from this stunt, research it, r.i.p laswell

  • fatal he never died wa u on about

  • k i was there wen this happened n they did take the wind speed into consideration and they tried to talk him out of doing the jump he wanted to do it anyway so he did

  • oh fuck fuck fuck i know how it is to jump 5 meters into the flat by bike

    to see that is incredeble =(

    really sad

  • Wind blew him off coarse of the landing ramp,and the music sucks...

  • R.I.P  Butch!

  • That was an awesome jump though. he rules!

  • No unfortunately he did not survive. That guy is on a special internet website dedicated to those who have died while doing dirt bike jumps/stunts. He got hurt real bad, even though you may not think so. And it's very difficult to live through injuries like he suffered.

  • I've seen this. He didn't die.

  • looks pretty serious to me. I wouldn't say it was impossible to live through. But I wish I knew cause half you guys say he died then the other half say he's still alive. I bet that hurt like a motherfucker either way. god damn.

  • i watched this a few weeks ago on tv. he survived but was in critical condition

  • he's probably a bit too "damaged" to do that again

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! shoulda took WIND into consideration.

  • how stupid can someone be to laugh at an accident like this??
