Nathan Woods Memorial Fund Information

Nathan
Woods passed away on Friday, January 28, 2011 at the age of 32, from
injuries sustained during the open practice session for the first round
of the WORCS series in Taft, CA. Nathan is survived by his wife Amanda
and their two sons, Nathan Jr. and Braxton.

Woods, with more
WORCS' wins to his name than any other rider in series history as well
as two WORCS Championships to his credit, had joined the Carbon Raptor
Stillwell Performance Racing for the 2011 season. Since joining the
team, Woods had bonded well with his young teammate, Kevin Rookstool,
and was very excited and motivated to begin the season with the new
team and to help mentor Rookstool throughout the year.

“The
entire team is extremely saddened by Nathan’s tragic passing. We were
all so excited about this season and the opportunity to work with a
great man and champion like Nathan and were confident he would have
been a front runner in both the WORCS and EnduroCross series. We will
race this season with heavy hearts, but knowing that Nathan will be
with us, as demonstrated by Kevin’s amazing 6th overall finish
yesterday despite the circumstances,” said Team Owner Alan Stillwell. 

“Everyone at the RiderDown Foundation is deeply saddened by the loss of
Nathan Woods this past weekend,” said Bruce Vermeulen, President of
RiderDown. “He was a great ambassador for our sport and will be missed
greatly. We are accepting donations to help the family during this very
difficult time and will be sending an initial check from previous
fundraising efforts immediately in memory of Nathan. 100% of all
donations mentioning the Nathan Woods Memorial Fund will be given
directly to the family.” Payments can be made through your PayPal
account or with any major credit card with all proceeds going to
support Nathan’s family. When submitting your donation please enter
