Dwayne helped me when I first started doing national number projections and eventually passed the links threads on to me, and Scottie was nothing but an extremely helpful friend to me during my first few years here before I eventually took over the bench racing threads from him. I've never claimed to be as good at the links threads as Dwayne was, and I'll never match the energy that Scottie brought to the bench racing threads. But now they're both gone. I just hope they're both in a better place now. They were both top notch men.
What I came to realize is without knowing Scottie, I wouldn't be who I am today. Not even close. Scottie is the one person I have to credit for me being me.
In 2003 Scottie sent me his old CPU and I built my first custom PC to play MCM2. That got me interested in game design, which ultimately led me down my career path. He was always available to talk about regular life, chair life, or just to shoot the shit.
I bought a couple Honda Pilots after he told me about them and shared his videos. I knew I had to get back in the dirt somehow and I never thought that was possible until Scottie showed me that it was. Being able to roost again made me feel "normal" again.
I wanted to tell some stories but its hard to put into words how much I have to credit Scottie for everything I am today.
As recently as 2 months ago, I was having trouble and posted in non-moto. Who shows up to give advice? Scottie. He was always that guy who would be real and level with you.
Maybe I'll come back to tell some of those stories. But for now I just wanted to say Thank You, Scottie. Thank you for saving my life in more ways than one. Thank you for all your sacrifices so that others could grow. Thank you for being a person I learned to emulate. I love you bro. You'll live on in me in every day I have left on this earth.
Scary close!
Very sadden too.
OC highly contributed to make this place the best, and I always enjoyed reading his posts and his excitment for racing.
Godspeed bro !
Wish I could send you some Tom rams one one time…
Love you bro may we ride together one day again 😍
Reading about his passing hit me hard as it shows the struggles of life are different for everybody and can be overwhelming. His suffering is over and his friends and family will miss him.
Rest in Peace brother!
I can't claim the impairments that Scott labored with painfully for years, but I can relate to being disabled and not able to fully take part in physical activity. We love an active sport, and it is very easy to feel left behind, both mentally and objectively, when the world gets on with its business. To be ill, injured or aged out can be a lonely place, and that can affect your sense of quality of life and hope. One of the things that I admired about Scott was how he pressed through that to make connections with people through the different boards and gaming, but it had to be hard being physically remote from the sports he loved and the people he loved enjoying it with.
If you have someone in your circle who is going through physical challenges that isolate him or her from getting out, do make the effort to include them when it's feasible, or call (I am horrendous at this), or make a point to check in. The challenges for someone is the situation Scottie was in are daunting on a daily basis. There's may not be a better tribute to Scottie.
Rest easy friend.

Rest in peace Scottie and thank you for all the memories, i will never forget you.
The question of is there something more that could have been done keeps running through my mind...
It's over now, Scottie is at peace. He will be remembered and missed by us all.
"Doc I feel like I've been kicked in the balls"
"I see, have you been hit by anything in that area? No? can you think of any reason why that would feel like that? No? Well there's no trauma there, OK let's do some blood tests" and so on
You could call them phantom pains but it's more complicated than that cause the pain is or could be actually 'real'..
We still know very little about the injury
