The Moto Community Lost Another Too Soon.

Hi guys,

One of the eldest freestyle motocross riders still ripping passed away last night. Paul Smith of California died doing what he loved with a passion. You'd never know how old he was by looking at him, because he trained his ass off every day to be the best that he could be. Regardless, he was much too young to go. RIP Paul

He was a genuinely good dude and a pioneer in the community. He got me into jumping ramps at a point in my life when I didn't even own a bike and helped teach me so much about riding and such that I could never repay him.

Some of you may know or have heard of him and know that he left behind a loving wife Amber. The GoFundMe below will be going directly to his wife Amber. Any little bit will help the family I'm sure. Don't feel obligated to donate. Any prayers and thoughts for the family will be appreciated too. I just wanted to help spread the message so that they aren't worrying about family in these times.

Go Fund Me for Paul Douglas Smith

This was taken directly fro the go fund me page

"This fund has been created to help Amber Smith (my sister) with the recent loss of her husband Paul Smith, and the costs she will face in the coming months. Paul was an amazing person. He was an absolute legend of freestyle motocross, and him and my sisters recent move to Californa saw him the opportunity to practice along side some of the most legendary freestyle motocross riders on the planet. Paul died practicing what he loved, and we are all deeply saddened by the untimely loss of such a great man. No donation is too small, and every one is greatly appreciated. It is no secret the size of the hurdle my sister will have to overcome by losing her husband, and we hope you can find it in your heart to help her in her time of great need. Thank You!"


Thanks for the help and support guys.
