No care. If he did it in one shot, then cool. Stopping, whatever.

that was nutty,

i've been on top of that, its quite high, and i couldnt even imagine drive a bike off of it.

and i can't believe all the mods they did to the top to let him do that tho...since it has like a 3 foot high stone 'bench' around the edge and a fence.


and two, i cant believe they let him do that onto it.......

That's an incredibly symbolic and historic monument. It's aligned along an ancient axis that's duplicates the sacred axis of the city of Luxor in Egypt, from back when there was a big ass temple to Isis just outside the city, hence the name of the city. I can't believe they desecrated and cheapened it with that. Still a badass stunt though, that drop was crazy.
