Dane Searls: Giants Of Dirt Part 3

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. 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.

Dane has always inspired me to ride, and to keep life real, everyone should look up to this guy. Have a look at what he's brought into this sport. His atmosphere he brought. The fun. The excitement. Rest in peace buddy, you'll be greatly missed.

Iain-Da-Weein (Jan 13, 2012 at 2:37)

Not a big fan of BMX vids, but this one got me more stoked than many DH/Freeride vids! so sick! and great to hear an edit featuring Blessthefall

wonkle (Jan 13, 2012 at 6:04)

Ride in peace buddy. He was a hero of the sport pushing the limits and achieving those goals. Such a way to go if he was here today he would have another crazy stunt up his sleeve. R.I.P.

Song By Kimya Dawson; "Will You Be Me"; partial lyrics
When I heard this song, it was around the time "Giants of Dirt" was 1st being posted;
then Dane's tragedy occured and made the song more relevant for me (especially the 2nd to last line, paragraph one)

"i've got a pocket full of quarters and i'm headed for the woods
i'm gonna play miss pac man in a puddle of mud
i'm not gonna lose my shoes unless i start to cry
and the man in the moon said i'm not left handed
and he did a swan dive to the promise land
while you were lost in my bob hope diamond eyes

there's scary topiary to the left of the pool
the trail to the right goes back to middle school
i'm trying to read what the flashing red letters say
they say lowest common destiny and so i run away
'cause i can't make the grade when i'm on display
here comes the man with the laminated plan
for the vince mcmahon expressway

will you be me? will you be me?
wear my clothes, drink my coffee,
write my mommy, do my homework,
feed my babies, fight my crazies

Gonadzz (Jan 13, 2012 at 6:05)

why would you want to dive in a pool from a balcony anyway its stupid
