Remember Kyle Katsandris? Of course you do; he’s the guy who jumped his Kawasaki KX450 over the 60 freeway in Los Angeles not too long ago, causing a buzz all over social media and the internet as a whole (and also sparked an investigation by the California Highway Patrol). Well, it appears that his internet fame has caught up with him, as his latest stunt didn’t go so well.

According to reports, Katsandris’ latest trick was to jump over train tracks in Simi Valley, California, following the footsteps of Colin Morrison, who successfully completed the jump three times a decade ago, twice over a moving train. Except in Katsandris’ attempt, a bump at the lip of the jump launched him over the handlebars, where he then crashed on the other side. He’s currently in critical but stable condition. See the NBC news report about the accident below.

    The prior jump they refer to was NOT over the 60 freeway in Los Angeles. It was over the 60 freeway just outside Beaumont, which is about 80 miles from LA. Route 60 begins at the East L.A. interchange with I-5, I-10, and the 101, and ends when it merges with I-10 at Beaumont, so he was all the way at the other end of the 60 from L.A.
