Bad BrainsLets hope for zero cranium-fluid during Noize TourBy Ben WesthoffPublished on June 17, 2009 at 4:01amBMX freestyle pro Rick Thorne has 27 screws in his head. He also once broke his palate and eye socket when he crashed into the corner of a loading dock. About the episode, he says, Fluid from my brain was leaking out through my mouth. Lovely. However, he usually hits his mark. This includes riding the side of a moving semi for the Discovery Channel's Stunt Junkies program not long ago. A veteran of Tony Hawks tour, Vans Warped Tour and the X-Games, Thorne also recently appeared in Mall Cop with Kevin James. This summer, hes touring with his own bike-and-skate show, which will feature competitions that anyone can enter, free swag, and live music from Thornes rock band, Good Guys In Black. The nearly 40-year-old will also ride, so would-be daredevils should take that as inspiration. Seeing as he has somehow managed to survive this long, youll probably be okay. Sat., June 20, 2009
