JT mentioned on the pulp mx show that a fly supported rider crashed at Glen Helen a few days back and didn't make it through it. Anyone know who this was or have any details? So sad to hear of these things happening.

As a parent I make sure I tell my kids I love them each morning and each night. They are a gift to me to help them grow old and live a full life. Life is to short to lose them so early but it is a part of life that happens many times a day over and over again.
Its been said many times over a parent should never out live their child but it happens. We make choices to make sure our kids our happy and fulfilled with life until they are on their own.
My prayers go out to Cody's family for their loss. My heart hurts knowing we lost another young person who had done a lot but had many more years to enjoy life but God makes the choice when its time for us to come home.
God Speed Cody.

Damn. Praying for his parents and sister.

I also wonder about the person that landed on him. On top of also being physically hurt, that would be tough to deal with.

He's the same age as my oldest son. I can't imagine what his parents must be going through right now.

Ride in Peace, Cody.

RIP Cody and prayers for his family. Crushing, same age as my youngest. I am with Mr. Info -- tell your kids you love them and that you are proud of them every chance you get.

His name is Cody Kurtz out of Ridgecrest, he was 17 years old. Cody crashed on a jump and the kid behind him who was a life long friend of his landed on his neck killing him almost instantly, his Father Kyle was first on scene and Cody died in his arms. We are all still in shock up here in Ridgecrest Kyle is a close friend of mine. There is a go fund me account on FB to raise funds for funeral costs.

Do you know how the kid who landed on him is doing? That can't be an easy thing to deal with mentally.

As someone who has ridden his entire life at glen Helen, one has to wonder what it is about that place that the body count rises every few years.

I’ve personally lost two good friends there over the past 15 years, and it pains me every time I read about another.

God Speed Cody.

I am sorry I don't have his name but I have been informed that he is not taking it to well at all. I cant even begin to imagine how he feels.

I can't either. Hopefully his parents/family can get him the help that I'm sure he'll need to deal with this.

Came close to losing my brother in May this year. Can’t imagine what the family is feeling right now. I Pray their hearts won’t remain heavy for too long.

Man I hate this sport.
