Remenber this guy?

I sure did.

So when his publisher asked me to read his book I jumped at the chance.

My review is here. Thanks for looking!

"But the truth of the matter was that he wasn’t burning out…he was losing his mind, descending deeply into a dark world of drugs, hatred and death. This is no Cinderella story; it’s a gritty true-to-life portrayal of talent wasted by addiction, the frustrations of helping start something that you can’t hold onto and wondering why the shit keeps hitting the fan."

I read it non-stop and I didn't even know there wasa movie!

There is some wild shit in there, blew my mind a bit. Amazing the dude is still breathing.

Here is what he looks like now.

I dunno, the guy lost all street cred with me when he pulled out of the very first FMX contest because he broke his clutch lever...

I read it.

I believed a majority of it, It sucked me in. However, like everything in life, I believe some was exaggerated and he left out a lot of details about things, such as the movie incident....

Also, how are we to believe the stuff Link describes during his drug induced years? Is it reality or his reality? serious question.......

Yeah he smashed into the bottom of it then crashed hitting terra firma. Beginning of TBI right there, you have to read how the crew handled it.

It was on the set of Triple X starring Vin Diesel - Link was selected as the stunt double. Twitch ended up standing in for Link after the crash as he was too fucked up to do it.
