Defying Death, Friday, First Period
The Danger Shop was a darkened, empty parking lot today. Well, mostly empty. There were several ramps of various size lined up, along with several sets of pads, helmets, and white jumpsuits. It probably wasn't tough to see where this was going. It was probably easier when Dick rode up to them on a motorcycle, took his helmet off, and started talking.
"Evel Knieval was probably the best known daredevil in the world. If you put something between two ramps and gave him money, he would probably try to jump over it, whether that thing was animals, cars, buses, trucks, or the Snake River Canyon. He destroyed his body several times during his career, but this was still a man who made a living jumping over things on a motorcycle pretty much every week during the 70's."
"There's no real trick to motorcycle jumps. Really, it's all about staying on a good line with the ramp and going fast enough to get the needed air. And more than anything, it's about being absolutely convinced that you're not going to crash horribly, sending you to the hospital for weeks if you're lucky. If you don't have that faith, you should probably stop before you get near the ramp."
"The shop's been programmed to make riding the motorcycles easy for you, so throw on your jumpsuits, pads, and helmets, hop on your bike, and start jumping."
And with that, Dick put his helmet back on, peeled off on his bike, and ended up jumping ten soda trucks. Oh, Danger Shop....

Re: Listen to the Lecture
Did that stop her eyes from going way, way wide as she listened to the lecture? No, and mostly that was a case of ohmygodohmygodohmygodreally he wants us to do that COOOOOOOOOOOOL rather than HOLYCRAPWHATAIEEEEEEEEEE, but she wouldn't object at all if people took it for the latter.
Look, there were reasons that someday Bruce would say she reminded him of Dick a little bit in certain ways.
