Dane Searls jumps the world’s biggest BMX dirt jumps: Giants Of Dirt Part 3

As most of you know BMX pro Dane Searls passed away on November 25th, 2011. Before doing so Dane was able to complete his dream of successfully building and riding the biggest BMX dirt jumps that have ever been ridden by anybody. The “Giants Of Dirt” was a project that had been a long time in the making for Dane, something that had taken endless amounts of hours, dedication, injuries, broken bikes and a whole lot of balls. No one had ever jumped 40, 50 and 60 foot jumps on a BMX bike in a row and no one has pulled back flips over anything like this before. Some of these jumps look like the ones that we see FMX riders hit in the X-Games.

Two days after completing his dream and brining the “Giants Of Dirt” to a reality Dane was out celebrating and suffered a traumatic brain injury while diving into a pool. He remained in a coma for 5 days until he surcame to his injuries. It was a very sad day for the Action Sports industry, a really hard loss for the Australian BMX community and Dane’s sponsors, friends and family. In the final edit of the “Giants Of Dirt” sessions Dane shows us what is truly possible on a BMX bike and has now opened the door for the future of BMX. It’s too bad Dane will not be with us to see what the future holds, but one thing is for certain no one will ever forget who paved the way.

RIP Dane Searls.
