It was posted on that link ,but they took it down....weird.
-side note: there was another guy there with Jeff and "The Real Deal" Jim McNeil, never got his name...but he was tipping the scales at 240 and 6ft.+ I first thought he was part of the set-up crew, but then he busted out his crf450 and started doing wheelies, followed up by superman seat-grabs and finally back-flips. impressive to say the least...the last thing I was expecting to see from someone that big in stature.
Godspeed

i just saw an episode of that reality show with West Coast Customs about the custom cars they build. They built a really cool Tundra off road chase truck for Ox to use down in Baja. General Tire sponsored it and although i've never met Ox, he came off on that episode as a really cool, genuine guy.
always thought it was cool that he got his start in FMX and despite the money potential there, he moved over to doing more off-raod racing and baja stuff recently, even getting a ride on the JCR Honda team.
prayers for the Kargola family
RIP Ox.
We have been fortunate to work with Jeff this past few months and last year during the Lucas Oil Off-Road races (he just won his first truck race a month or so ago) and he was a great, great guy. Full of energy, enthusiasm and life. One of the good guys.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends and everyone in the off-road and moto community who had the fortunate experience to meet the man in person.
Damn.
RIP OX.
