I wouldn't take anything Steve-O says as insulting. He is a very safety oriented rider who I have ridden with on many occasions.
His point is, if you have two places to ride the same wind direction and one is safer than the other, why go ride in a riskier spot?
I'd rather run into a palm tree or sign at east beach than the mangroves, rocks, or multiple roads at the skyway. There is a very close access road, an on ramp to 275, and 275 itself with cars doing 70+. Not much room for error.
There have been some bad accidents at the skyway as well as east beach, the extent of damage for ones self at the skyway could very well be beyong the scope of what anyone has seen before if the right conditions are present...
I posted earlier that I rode the skyway yesterday and I did this ONLY because you can't ride EB on a straight north wind.
