Stunt rider hurt at cole slaw wrestling contest
STAFF REPORT
SAMSULA - A stunt motorcycle rider in a show that featured 30-foot jumps over a cole slaw-wrestling pit was injured today.
James Verschuuren, 21, ran his motorcycle off the side of a ramp and landed on his head while attempting a jump just after noon at Sopotnick's Cabbage Patch, witnesses said.
The freestyle motocross show was a preliminary to the venue's annual Bike Week cole slaw wrestling event.
"This is my rookie guy and this is want he wants to do, and this is what happens to him," said Kenny Yoho, 29, leader of the group from East Coast Xtrem of Tampa.
The injured rider was airlifted to Halifax Medical Center, where he was listed in stable condition.
Verschuuren broke his leg in a stunt show last year, Yoho said. Because of the danger of their stunts, the crew is unable to buy insurance, he said.
A tip bucket was being passed among those awaiting the start of the women's wresting event to try and help with Verschuuren's medical bills.

Tough luck... mayo or oil & vinegar?
He might want to find a new ambition in life.

I fought the slaw and the slaw won.
Oh, it's real. Not pretty, but it's real.

Whoa! Now I remember why I don't like coleslaw . . .
I used to love cole slaw...

Is that a whale fart?
Mayo Kayo.
Verschuuren, he's a klutz...
I think it's images like that that make men go "Brokeback".

Those hefty broads were having way too much fun!
The old stunt rider does it again!
That's what you call "flapping in the breeze."
Dang. Sheer severe slaw slander.
