He is friends with my son and I coached soccer and baseball teams with him on my team since they were toddlers. Good kid, tragic stupid stunt gone wrong.

Good ideas go bad fast.
In Junior high i was riding a bike home to our farm at night, and someone let me grab onto the passenger door to hitch a ride up a hill and it was great, until the banked curve at the top of the hill where the bike dropped out from under me and under the rear tire where my ankles were driven over. One was hurt pretty bad the other just bruised.
My friends and I used to hood surf in HS. Terribly stupid and lucky no one died.
