So sad. I am sitting in front of my computer in tears... for the second time in a week. This sucks!

I couldn't even imagine the pain her family and friends are feeling. God bless them and Godspeed Isabell.

Man that's horrible news.

Got a call last night informing me of Isabells passing, I'm glad I didn't see it here first. One of my sons raced with her on 85's, she always had a smile every time I'd see her. She was doing what she loved to do. She will be missed greatly by everyone who knew her. R.I.P. Isabell

Unreal. We are done participating in this sport. It is not worth it.

Looking at that little lady's photo brought tears to my eyes. Being a dad, I get it (your reply).

But, I don't think completely abandoning the sport is the only option. A parent could take their kid off the tracks and get them into other styles of racing (desert, enduros, etc.). It's my humble opinion that there are forms of dirt bike racing that aren't as dangerous as the high-flying tracks have become. I discourage my son from the big tracks, and because he has grown to love riding, I encourage him to ride other areas. That's just my approach. I respect other parents' decisions as well...not saying one's right and the other's wrong.


Not to hijack the thread. My sincerest condolences to Isabelle's family. You let your little lady do what she loved, and that's exactly what a parent should do....make your children happy. I tip my hat to you.

RIP Isabelle.

Very sad, and I don't what to say, buts really strange what is happening. I don't know how many high speed first turn crashes I have witnessed at LL's and was even a part of one and nothing like this happened that I know of.

I know that a 47 year old guy also died at Mid Ohio last weekend during a vintage harescamble in the in the 98 degree heat.

Things are getting bizarre.

Horrible. I feel so sad for the family and friends. We lost a 16yr old niece 3 years ago and I still get teary eyed when I think of her. RIP Isabella

Oh my God. So sorry to hear this and thoughts with her family and friends. I think as a sport we've got to look at what is happening. To hear of 11 and 15 year olds dying is very difficult to take.

Man... I'm tired of hearing this stuff. Something has to be done to reverse this trend.

I can't imagine what the family is going through. RIP Isabella...

Tragic beyond words. Someone that age has barely had a chance to really begin life.

horrible news but it can't be all blamed on racing, it can happen practicing, riding in the woods or playing in your back yard.
when God wants you he wants u. people die everyday it just hits us hard when it's moto related because this is what we live and breathe. car accidents happen hundreds of times a day and claim lives all the time. we don't park our cars. live your life everyday with no regrets. RIP little Moto Girl !!!

This ia very nice family and they have an amazing track here in Nebraska. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all her family and friends, When I heard this I was thinking to myself how can I let my kids race. But I cant just put them in a bubble and try to make them safe from the world. Theres so many different ways thins can happen all the time, We all can just know that Isabell was doing what she loved and gets to take that with her. R.I.P!!!!
