Oh I hated that kid. He was one of the few who could keep mine favorite, Christophe Pourcel, honest in Supercross. But after those two years I started to realize what a talented kid he was and his story and problems kept me interested. So I was really delighted when he made his comeback in ArenaCross and fought for wins. But after that he had a relapse and he disappeared from the radar. So the question is: does anyone know how he is doing now and is he still riding?

its difficult for me to understand how some people revel in others misfortune as if by some way it makes their own life better.
approx 60,000 dying each year in the US because of drugs- the biggest culprit is opiates, either legal or illegal...... most people start down that path by over-prescription of opiate derived pain killers.
Kinda ironic that the chosen drug-Czar couldnt take the role because he had made it easier for the legal supply of opiates by mail order!
The guy always seemed like a nice kid (I don't remember him being an asshole) and had insane skill. Maybe got a little distracted from the sport, but so many others have as well.
I saw him get hurt in practice in Houston the year he was battling with Pourcel. I was so bummed. Dude could ride.
We've also problems in Belgium but I can relay on my medic because she's not biased. For her it is forbidden to be in bed with pharmacies and she looks into the fact that I keep me to the doses, one in the morning one before bed. But if you can't trust your doc, because he's also into selling pills for his profit. And other medics are cutting you off without helping you withdraw I understand you go look for something to softened the withdraw you're going true. But being happy is the best "drug" to soften the withdraw.

I know how hard it is, and have seen it ruin close friends and family, but for some reason, I'm really hoping he can get his life squared away. It was always a pleasure watching him pin a dirt cycle around a track..
Fuck Heroin. I understand Norcs, and honestly, when I have them, they don't last long, but Knowing what H does to people, I just can't imagine sitting there and being like, yea i'm gonna send it..
On paper to a bunch of lawyers this sounds like a good idea. But in practice it has led us to where we are now. Pain med/heroin addiction is off the charts.
