What an absolutely horrible shame! Reports are he crashed yesterday at Willowbank MX park
Didn't know him personally but just always seemed like such a good dude..
Really sucks
If the US guys aren't familiar with him he was one of 'THE guys' in the 80's and 90's over here! True Aussie MX legend!

The Shop
Was a top bloke very sad news.
From what I remember of him, he was the gentlemen of the sport.

Melton was one of the guys I really looked up to when I first got a dirtbike (only because I had a kx80 and he was one of Kawasakis main riders). About 10 years later a friend recommended him for suspension and he setup my bikes for a number of years.
You would go to drop your suspension off quikly and end up having a decent 45mins talk to him about riding/anything. Incredibly down to earth and genuinely enjoyed having a conversation with you.
RIP.
Jemcee, I was the one that you helped get the drunk dude off the car so I could drop him back at our motel. I worked on the Des Nations marketing commitee-by the time the race day was done so was he & I was ready to party. Sun was well and truly up by the time that party finished.
Perfect Pete was exactly that Perfect & unique-the world isnt the same
I could be imagining this but did someone from our crew take that photo?
What a time!
