Marlon has lost two friends to crashes and recently nearly died himself. He faces a dilemma: whether or not to continue following a passion he knows could kill him. Video journalist: Megan Janetsky. Producers: Eleanor Layhe, Simon Maybin and Jorge Caraballo. Please subscribe HERE http://bit.ly/1rbfUog
