damn.. dude was sick as hell..


RIP


not to be a dick.. but I'm surprised we dont hear about this more. These guys push it so hard that its strange we dont hear about more deaths or paralysis accidents.

His crash in 07 was horrible too.. the vid from Costa Rico was disgusting. I feel horrible for his family having that vid all over the internet. my thoughts go out to his friends and family. Dude was a great rider

 

shows how much these guys put on the line every day, every jump

 

RIP thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. very sad he couldnt pull through and recover.

 

Sad news. RIP

He passed away doing something he loved.

He was a badass.

I dont know the guy but i hate to read this sort of thing. RIP.

 

Jeremy gone to soon. i saw the video last night and its like he had counted down has last mins its so sad , Jeremy Rest In Peace , you will be there to watch over us. you will always be in ours hearts, see you when i get there peace

 

My fmx/supercross agent says the venues have been getting worse and worse, no one listens when the riders complain about conditions, and they barely had any practice time on that track.

Either way, there's been a lot of crashing, IIRC Ryan Villipoto crashed out in Anaheim because they had no practice time on the track and it was muddy.

It's usually kept quiet if it's a less known rider, and when it's a known rider a PR person massages the story.

The good thing in all the bad is Jeremy's loss has galvanized the riders to push for their safety concerns to be addressed in his name. A sweet tribute, making things happen.

 

Your fmx/supercross agent is wrong none of that can be blamed on the venue. fmx riders are given the gap distances they all walk the venue before the big show then take runs before anything happens all the ramps are set in place and agreed on before they even start the event. 90% of the time Lusk was the one who was the first to hit everything.

As for Villipoto and not having enough time, every rider gets the same amount of time to practice and run his hot laps. Villipoto crashed during practice and rode off then ate **** in his heat race in the same spot. 20 other riders made it to the main Villipoto didn't due to lack of skill in the rain.

Its Freestyle there is no way to prevent someone from the inevitable. Hence why it pays so much, hence why people watch it.


Lusk was a killer dude and his wife is probably one of the nicest people you'll ever meet thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

 

R.I.P.... sad to hear this

 

Sorry if I mispoke, it was 1am when I talked to him. It may have been an AMA/promoter thing at the event he was referencing, but it's been happening more often that they don't get enough practice time in, or conditions are not right and no one listens. we talked about MANY instances just last night. they probably aren't all laying straight in my head. I'll clarify later if you PM me.

Some things do need to change. especially abroad, but also here. I'm glad to see people are working to see to their own interests, and in Jeremy's name looking after the interests of competitors to come.

The guy I've got in dirt is a pro AMA Supercross racer, he was at more than one event where the riders safety hasn't been taken into consideration. He wasn't wrong, I just had information overload.

Let's get back on track, Jeremy Lusk will continue to do great things through those who knew him best, and that comforts me.

 

sad stuff....RIP and best wishes

 

very sad!! RIP
