I happened to rewatch the infamous clip of Colin Winklemann's crash with the van ramp, and remembered there was a scaled down version done by another rider, approached by a kicker pushed by a go kart. It's been years since I recall seeing it, and was hoping others with better memory would be able to guide me to it. Anyone?

Wasn't it Colin that did the go-kart video as well? For a commerical IIRC.
-
Yeah there was a sequence for a print ad where he did a flip from the go-kart ramp. Very old now, maybe '03.

Yep, that's what I was thinking of. DC ad.
There's some clips of him hitting the go-kart ramp in this video.

That clip makes me sad. I don't think anyone realizes what happened to him when they use it in fail video compilations.
-
Yeah that was hard to watch, RIP.
-
Didn't Allan Cooke or someone do the go-kart flip after Colin's death as a memorial to him? I might be making that up.

Damn, that's rough to watch again after all these years. Colin was one of the baddest of bmx badasses, RIP.

He did the full on van flip. I cried.

the editing on that video hurt me so much

He hung up.

He hung up.
The van should have been going faster, obviously.
I love that it was Nate Wessel behind the wheel again. Its a real shame that show didn't go into the backstory of the stunt because its one hell of a tribute to an amazing rider and I presume amazing friend.
