3 Palms is reporting that a 23 year old rider lost their life at the facility today. They're not saying much else, such a bummer. RIP moto brother.
Sad statement.
The Shop
There is nothing to be done. A better helmet is all i ask for ,but even then,no matter what,some things are not survivable.
Damn shame the risk has to be so high for all the fun things.
2 riders in two weeks at that track.
Condolences and prayers for the riders family and loved ones
Those were ruff ,early internet,for me anyway. Guess that's why I'm just numb to it now.
After 2000 I had 2 young kids and continued to race ,more than I had at any time in my life.
But I never took them with me,ever. Oh,they came to a fair race once but it was easy. All LLs quali,regional and ranch I went alone,by myself. ,I did not want to die in front of them and leave that horror with them.
If any of you think " it wont happen to me,I ride safe or slow" you are fools, be prepared for that freak accident because all the ones I've seen were just that.
Lots of sad sad news lately.. RIP
Your last paragraph is very important. To add though, if you think the reason is that these kids lack adequate skill, you're also a fool.
Prayers for the family and friends.
Pit Row
Don't sit there and do nothing! Dammit it makes me sick that we are losing kids. It hasn't always been this way people. You didn't always throw a leg over the saddle and wonder if you were going to be going home that evening.
It isn't fun reading that, and your buddies not answering their phones. I got some details on the crash, but out of respect for the families, concentrate on the power of prayers.
Super sad to hear.
