hopefully he is fine, he is in my top 2 for FMX riders with Todd Potter...met him and Rick Thorne this past year at Atlanta Motor Speedway, while they were doing some FMX...super cool, and very knowledgeable. the only thing that I couldn't get outta Jeff was his Dragon goggles.

-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.

Saw where Chris Tedesco and Josh Grant and some people on Twitter said he passed??? Is this true or just speculation at this point?

Man , this really sucks. Kind of a little confusing at first , when people were getting reports that he was indeed ok.....maybe something happened later? Either way , I am sad for all his family and friends. RIP Jeff!

wow...really sad.

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

I'm just sick. Got word from some one very close to the situation.

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.

[color=blue]Just received word that this is true. Sad day to lose another young individual like this. Didn't know him personally, but met him a couple times. Seemed like a legitimately cool guy. My thoughts are with his family...//TJ[/color]
