It's been coming for some time.....not much of a surprise but still a sad day. I had his lunch box and numerous crank-up jump cycles/figures that I set ablaze or somehow destroyed. I learned the "art" of bike jumping (and crashing) 'cause of his inspiration.....fun times! :twisted: He did some wrong in his life but at least he lived it. RIP

Me too!

GREATEST TOY ever, although, I kept stripping the gears and I kept returning it to JC PENNY and they kept replacing it! I must have had about 5 of 'em!

Sad news to be sure.

We didn't have one as we were pretty poor. My buddy did and it was pretty cool.
