Very, very sad.

PJ I totally understand if you don't want to talk about it, but I was wondering how it happened?

I am not one of those guys that are into sickly details, just wondering how it happened that's all.


Matt, all due respect to a fellow fan, but IMO the details should not be printed or talked about, especially on an internet message board (certainly no direspect to GuyB or Vital MX)

We know that Andrew crashed, suffered head injuries and was unable to be revived despite paramedics trying for an hour. I think that's enough info...

This is an absolute tragedy - my thoughts are with Andrew's family, especially his wife and young daughter.

Andrew holds a special place in Australian motocross. He may not have the best record on paper but IMO, and I am sure many would agree, it was him who dragged Australia out of its MX dark ages. His performance at the 1999 MXdN was inspiring to say the least. Watching him at the Australian GP in 2000 as he, a nobody by international standards, stuck it to the some of the worlds not once but twice that day was quite honestly the day of which I was proudest to be Australian. His international career that followed was good did not truly reflect his capabilities. Regardless, Australian motocross owes him a debt.

His on track performance though was only part of his package. This guy was one of the most professional racers on any circuit and many riders would do themselves a big favour in modeling themselves on his behaviour and commitment to professionalism. I understand too that he always had time for his fans.

All round, a class act.

The international MX community has suffered a great loss today.
