http://www.unit.com/ http://www.facebook.com/unitriders THE FINAL CHAPTER IN THE GIANTS OF DIRT PROJECT CELEBRATES THE LIFE AND DEDICATION OF DANE SEARLS, 1988-2011. December 20, 2011 -- The final video release for Professional Freestyle BMX rider Dane Searls sees him successfully ride the biggest dirt jumps in history, clearing distances up to 60 feet (18 metres) on a BMX. The Giants of Dirt Project began in 2010 when Dane Searls brought the idea to Unit Clothing, his sponsor. Over the next 12 months, together they built and tested the line of jumps in Boonah, (west of the Gold Coast, Queensland) on the farm of fellow Unit rider Freestyle Motocross Pro Matt Schubring. Sheer determination saw Dane push through many painful crashes and set backs, including the devastating Queensland floods of 2010. Dane finally completed his life long goal in November 2011, by riding and pulling tricks through the entire set of jumps. Giants of Dirt 3 is the realization of Dane's dream. A custom built drop in ramp was constructed and the final jump in the set of four jumps measures 60 feet (18 metres) from dirt take off to dirt landing. Two days after fulfilling his dream, Dane was involved in an accident and suffered critical head injuries, placing him in a coma for five days. Dane passed away on November 25, 2011 in hospital due to injuries sustained. His death sent shock waves through the BMX community and he will be long remembered as an amazingly kind person and as a professional athlete who pushed the boundaries of the sport of BMX.

In 2011 when this video dropped it was what got me to go out and build and ride some dirt jumps with me and my local friends, I was 12 at the time and I got into BMX, this last year 2 of my local trailspots have been demolished, I tried to start a 3rd and it got smeared before it was even ready to ride. All my friends lost motivation to ride and have moved to drugs and here I am, I've nearly left my BMX bike behind, but I've stayed on two wheels on my dirtbike. Now I've come back and watched this again, 5 years later and I feel obligated to revitalize BMX in my hometown if not that even just get out and shred on my own. Thank you Dane, forever an inspiration, a legend and a huge influence on my life.

Can't believe this was 5 years ago. If he didn't pass BMX would have been forever changed. A true legend, and a true inspiration. To bad the kids of today are worried about riding curbs and 2 foot tall legends.
