Guest BigWhyteDude Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 What a way to go. Darwin claims yet another. Andrew guy with no pants dies on motorcycle......... Cyclist partially clothed Published on Tuesday, September 14 By Erin Cunningham News-Post Staff -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FREDERICK ----The 21-year-old Walkersville man who died Sunday while performing motorcycle stunts along U.S. 340 was wearing a helmet, T-shirt, socks and shoes, but no pants or underwear, according to authorities. Shaun Paul Mattock was pronounced dead at the scene about 5 p.m. after popping a wheelie and striking a tow truck that was loading a car on the side of the highway, according to Maryland State Police Trooper David Ward. Witnesses said Mr. Mattock and other motorcyclists were being filmed as they performed stunts going down the highway. Police said they did not know if that was true. A logo on Mr. Mattock's motorcycle and helmet read, "Holding It Big Productions." The company's Web site, http://www.holdingitbig.com, has links to videos of young men performing motorcycle stunts. The videos show them popping wheelies, spinning in circles on one wheel and crashing. Another link to an advertisement said the Baltimore-based company, owned by Ben Meachum, would soon be in the area making a documentary-style film about extreme sports. "(The films) will be focused on depicting the crazy, one-of-a-kind lifestyle that always seems to go along with it," the ad read. Mr. Meachum did not respond to a phone message or an e-mail. A man who answered the company's contact phone number listed on the Web site would not give his name or reveal his affiliation with the company. When asked if Holding It Big Productions was filming Mr. Mattock at the time of the accident, he said, "The company films every day." The man said he knew of Mr. Mattock and was familiar with the accident. "(Mr. Mattock) was having fun, doing what he likes to do every day," he said. "He was with a bunch of his friends. He just took the ride of his life." Trooper Ward said that just minutes before the crash, police received a call that a group of seven motorcyclists were performing stunts and driving erratically. Assistant State's Attorney Kirsten Brown, who was called to the scene of the crash Sunday, said the case is under investigation to determine if charges should be filed. She said the actions that led to the deadly crash put everyone on the highway in jeopardy. "It was extremely dangerous and scary," she said. About 30 of Mr. Mattock's family members and friends gathered about 6 p.m. Monday along the westbound lanes of U.S. 340 near the crash site about a half mile west of the Mt. Zion Road exit. Bottles of Coors Light, his favorite beer, flowers, balloons and other items were laid at the scene amid the tears and hugs of those gathered. News-Post reporter Susan C. Nicol contributed to this report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 This has been a MAJOR story for us around these parts, since it happened just northwest of DC by about 40 minutes... This TOOL, 'ER fellow rider died on the scene...GOOD! He also had lots of "Friends" who took off as he recked. NICE FRIENDS! The individuals videotaping this event were eventually charged. There was also another member of this tool's club who was riding semi-nude with him as well, and he has been found and arrested... Screwing around in an empty parking lot is onething... these idiots who are riding on one wheel in excess of 100MPH and passing within inches and feet of traffic are criminals who should be put in jail, or gutt shot and left in the woods to die.
