He was a rider. “Kid” as a younger person. Y’all some know it alls up in here tonight.


I ride in endymion and have since 2008. I dont remember anybody dieing during the extravaganza except that lady who fell off the table back in 2004.

I do remember they had that DUI driver run over some people on the route like 2 years ago (I think)

I’m talking about the Endymion rider that was killed about a decade ago.

When you see a float coming, get Djibouti out of the road.

That was not a float, but a drunk driver driving his car into the crowd near Orleans Ave. and Carrollton Avenue.

2008. Happened after they got out of dome. Was in second float of 3 float grouping. He was getting off to walk inside and then got hit by third float because he stepped off too soon.

Correct. I'm just trying to remember any of the deaths (float or not float) related

With all the people at the scene when it happened you don’t think that detail would have made its way to the news,etc more than 2 hours after the incident? I’m not even sure how that is possible and I really hope you are wrong

You may be right on a spectator getting killed. Although in my mind it seems like it has happened more than once since 81. Or maybe it was my parents repeatedly warning me every year that I would get run over if I didn’t leave that plastic crap alone
