DALY Cherry-Evans will only reveal this yarn on the proviso no one tells 'Tooves'.
After all, given how the Manly coach reacts to a dropped ball at training, imagine knowing his marquee halfback, a Dally M favourite no less, was almost killed on a halfpipe over summer?
"Actually, it wasn't that bad,'' Cherry-Evans laughs, chatting now with T he Daily Telegraph at a Manly skate park. "Back home in Mackay, we've got a big wooden halfpipe in the backyard, belongs to my younger brother.
"So when I went home over Christmas, I had a crack. Got on one of those little scooters and . . . yeah."

Less than a metre away, little brother Darcy, 17, is shaking his head.
"I tried to tell him what to do,'' he grins. "But Daly, he wouldn't listen.
"He came down flat on his back but thankfully there was no real damage done. Just took the wind out of him."

While he may not have the profile of his Manly, Maroons and Kangaroo sibling, Darcy Cherry-Evans - the youngest of five kids - is now looking to make his own leap to professional sports, as a scooter rider.
Already the Queensland teen is doing well enough to have been spotted by talent scouts for Nitro Circus, the famed, travelling stunt show led by American motorsports daredevil Travis Patrana.

"And that would be great to be a part of,'' the Mackay rider says. "Obviously it's tough; a couple of years ago I broke my ankle fairly badly - tried a front flip onto the ramp and, instead, came down on my ankle, snapping it. But it's what I want to do."
With a show in Brisbane on May 15, the younger DCE has been invited to trial for a place among the Nitro acrobatic stars riding motorcycles, BMX bikes, skateboards, scooters, even roller blades.
"Eventually, my goal is to become professional and make a living from riding the scooter,'' Darcy continues. "I've put in a lot of effort to get this far but we'll see what happens in May and take it from there."

And as for big brother?
"Um, no more scooters,'' he smiles. "There was a time, growing up, where I was right into the BMX bikes, the skateboards and stuff, before rugby league eventually took over.
"But now, I'm just really proud of Darcy and what he's doing. I know first hand it's a lot harder than it looks."
