Long time member passed away on Monday. He wadded up on his mountain bike in San Diego. Myke was really cool, moved out here from back east and was living a great life. Gone way too soon.

Damn, this is horrible and too close to home. Could be anyone of us any day....RIP Myke
Damn! RIP Myke! Sending love, and good vibes to his friends, and family.
RIP and sincere condolences to his family.
Man, tragic.
R.I.P. MYKE. It was cool hanging out on the boards with you.
Sounds like he was riding alone. I'm wondering if he was riding with someone if he'd still be here. I know it's tough to find someone to ride mtb with at all times, so I've ridden alone plenty but I try to take it easy when riding solo. The article says it appears he crashed face first.
Damn. That sucks. RIP.
That is horrible news… sad to hear it. Condolences to his family, friends and board members that knew him. 😢
Godspeed Myke! My condolences to family and friends.
Very sorry to hear this.
So sorry to come across this thread. Myke was a great member here and will be missed. Never easy to hear that we lost one of members.
RIP Myke
Tragic news. Much love to Myke, his family and friends 🧡
RIP moto brother
Very sad.
Wow, this is really sad and hits home as I ride by myself all the time. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
Pit Row
Terrible News…..RIP Myke💔
Tragic news. RiP Myke.
RIP Myke
😔 The article said 50 but he just turned 60 in March, RIP
Rip moto brother.
Damn… I got to know him pretty well over the years when I’d run into him at LACR. Really nice guy, I hate reading this
Rest in Peace Myke
I know the timing is not right to ask this question, but why aren't more mountain bike helmets full face? I always wondered that. I don't ride downhill too often (only when visiting a friend near Knoxville) but it always surprises me to see guys bombing trails with an open face helmet that weighs about 3 ounces.
Condolences to this mans family....
Hot and heavy. They’re impractical for anything other than real DH riding or enduro racing
RIP to Myke and condolences to his family, very sad deal
The really fast enduro/dh guys wear them when they're doing serious stuff. In NorCal at least it's not uncommon to see them on fairly normal trails too on normal punters riding e-bikes. There's a bit of a debate about whether mtb-specific full face helmets are really safe enough or if full moto is the way to go, at least for 20+ mph runs.
The real progress needed is in more people wearing back protectors like road race guys. But they're hot and rigid.

Woaa
We met quite a few years back on here i believe . He drove out to my place in Ridgecrest and I did some work on a couple of his bikes . We enjoyed some rides at milestone / cal city over the years as well .
Thanks for posting this Slap.
That's terrible rest easy Myke <3
