Rip one punch! My buddy josh and I got him out to Anaheim 2 last year to watch a race and he said it had been a long time since he’s been to a race! Really was stoked to have the legend come by and have some words to me about the industry on a rainy rainy Friday night in the pits he told me his story and how things go and I will always remember that coming from him. he was a true dude that had a lot going on outside of racing, he was completely out of moto. Very random for me because other then that I only knew of him from being a kid watching him muscle his way threw the pack on a 250 two stroke racing big names. His race at Anaheim against Langston where they both put each other on the ground, and I was a huge Langston fan, those guys put on a show that night making there way into the main. He was great to watch. He was there because he wanted to see if I needed sponsors but I told him I was done once the season went east. the guy loved moto, I heard he may have had his dad pass away and he had some hard times with that. That’s what everyone seems to think was why this happened. Rip Moto brother.

Realistically these guys are setup for failure. They don't graduate high school, or maybe they do. But they are rockstars traveling the country at 16 thinking the gravy train will last forever and then eventually the paychecks stop coming in and their resources dry up. It sucks.

Unfortunately Tyler had bad addiction to opiates and who knows what that lead to.

RIP Tyler
I was really hoping that I would not read this regarding Tyler, The lives that this has affected including my own is so far beyond my understanding. Just after one injury in moto this changed my life forever I just pray that whoever is going through or thinks they're about to head down this path that they talk to someone, anyone. I did not know Tyler other than watching him in moto but my prayers and with him, his friends, and his family.

RIP Tyler

I’m someone who struggles heavily with depression and anxiety, and from my experience even those who love and care for you find it hard to believe the thoughts you’re acfually having. They either don’t understand or don’t want to. Most don’t want to hear it at all. People only act empathetic AFTER the tragic ending.

I’ve resorted to mostly internalizing it because even my wife doesn’t like to hear about it much.
I hope you are talking to professionals and not holding it inside.

After 35 working years, I’m on Ltd for depression...all sick days accumulated are gone.
Not too big of a financial deal, I’m retiring soon.

Good luck

I had a long reply typed out but then I thought better of sharing anything too personal. I'll just say that I totally understand. It's tiring. I feel for you dude.

I’ve read a bunch of books and tried therapists over the last 5 years. Started on medication about a month ago. You’re not alone. A family member casually asked if I ever thought about suicide and they were completely caught off guard when I said yes. For them it was unfathomable. It’s not normal to think of ending your own life. If you’re having these thoughts it’s a sign that something is wrong and you should seek help. A professional therapist is at least a person to talk to when others in your life can’t handle it. You shouldn’t keep it inside.

For those who have been down in that hole, they understand. Its a very dark, hopeless place. Sorry to hear the sad news about Tyler.

Many folks arent familiar with this song, but its very powerful to those who who may be in that place. There was time when it spoke to me and helped more than words can explain, maybe it can help someone else, too.

He was one of my favorite riders to watch when I was a kid. RIP one punch, you've provided many great memories to a lot of people.

So very, very sad to see this about Tyler. Too many of these stories seem to keep popping up...as we have lost a lot of great moto brothers here lately that were WAY too young too young to pass!! I so hope and pray anyone on here who is battling any type of demons in their life seeks out help....we all need love, friendship, family to help us get through the good and bad that life deals out. There is nothing un-masculine about asking for help...don't choose pride over life. RIP One Punch!

He was too far ahead of his time and had a far bigger mind than most could understand. If he was faster he'd have made a F ton of coin. He was Conor before Conor was ever heard of. Fans loved him.

I got what he was talking about on Pulpshow. It was kinda confusing, but he was talking about the way other sports work.

Not many could rock this suit on ESPN...........but Tyler could. How many guys his speed ever get an interview on ESPN?
And he repped SX without wearing some cheesy ass moto crap with logos so everyone gets their "Shout out"

Pretty sure Tyler, the moto guy, was not a teenager.

The struggle is very real, no less valiant than a battle with cancer, etc. Sad to see someone succumb to the relief it provides in their mind. RIP.

RIP. I have often thought about venting here. I been on this site daily since day 1 Fresh Dirt dial up. Lots of great people still here. Everyone thinks I have the perfect life and from the outside it appears so. Went from poorest of poor to really not ever having to work again by mid 30s. Perfect family and nothing but love from everyone. I set my life up pretty awesome I guess with rental properties and market investments. Basically I could play every day if I choose.
One thing I dont have is my health. As a kid my head would spin and nausea would overtake me everytime I ate. Doctors could never figure it out. Said I over exhausted myself because I surfed and rode dirt bikes every day. My family went with that. As an adult i was so used to feeling sea sick daily but it would only last 15 or 20 minutes at a time. No other symptoms. You could hold a conversation with me and never even realizing I was suffering because I could hide it well. As an adult I couldn't take no for an answer and got endoscopic exam and all my intestines were ulcers and just destroyed. They took biopsy of my stomach wall and diagnosed with celiac disease. I went gluten free and been strict for ten years. It helped for awhile but I had built a tolerance but know it is so much worse. For some reason my ulcers returned and have been bleeding out inside for awhile. For the last 2 years I have been just sick every day, no energy and my intestines are so sore and hurt to even bounce on a lawnmower. Everyone I know hates me for my success and the gluten free thing like I am a burden even though chances are I pay for everyone for everything which I don't mind ever as I have been very blessed in that area. My wife is amazing and I hate that she has to deal with me. Just feeling weak as hell lately and feeling like all the things I love to do are basically over and celiac evolves into worse symptoms as you age. No drugs just a puff here or there on occasion. This is the most I have said to anyone so I will most likely delete in a minute like I do. Anyway thanks for listening.

Rest In Peace Tyler Evans. My prayers are with you and your loved ones.

Opiates are brutally powerful on my mind. I am scared to death of them based on past experience.

have you tried CBD oil? I have no experience with it but have heard and read about it helping.
