I have a name, but until it is confirmed, I don't have a name. Sucks.

Who is it? WW is my local track so I'm kinda freaked out

I would never put up a name until I'm 100% sure. If the rumor is true, he's a friend of mine. Please be patient.

Man I hate to hear that, they do a good job there. Prayers for the family and for the track owners.
I'm sure they're feeling terrible right now as well.

Very sad. Back in September we were riding at a track in Toledo Ohio and noticed a down rider. Didn't think too much of it because it's motocross and people crash. We were flagged off the track and 4 ambulances arrived. Soon after life flight landed. He was never loaded into the chopper. He didn't make it. 16 year old kid lost his life that day after losing control off a jump and hitting a tree. Riding past him laying there and watching paramedics give cpr for over 30 minutes is something I will never ever forget. For sure makes you think twice and take all your close calls for granted. Sad situation and my thoughts and prayers go out to the family's & friends. Ride In Peace

Both very sad stories. RIP Moto brothers. I have one tree out by the MX track and now I almost want to cut it down.

Prayers far all involved. Happened here last week too.

Chad Givens. He really was a great guy. I just couldn't bring myself make a post about it.

He made LL's regularly, B class and over 25. It was from the track in Norman, OK where the NMA moved their race to a couple of years ago. RIP to both!

OP, I hope you don't think this was inappropriate to post this. Just paying respect to his life while doing the same for the rider in Florida.

Wishing all the best for the family Harry if you remember who I am.
