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.

My father always warned to never jump over cole slaw wrestlers.

This is yet another thing I need to instill into my boys.

Brings up a song:

"Slaw down, you're going too fast,
Got to make the Mayo last..."

Couldn't those girls have at least gotten a spray-on tan or something? I agonize over which lip plumper to buy.
