freestyle moto x rider dies in failed jump attempt

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_aFONwLb5o

Sad to say I knew this was going to happen sooner or later, these guys are pushing things way to far these days.
As a former AMA motorcross racer I watched this sport explode near the end of my racing days back in the 90's and at that time simple tricks and huge gaps seemed risky enough, to see what they are doing today makes my head spin.

thats sad and it happened recently...

Wow, what a way to go... RIP

That was harsh viewing, condolences to his friends and family.

God be with his family!!!

Horrible way to die

R.I.P from Chile

Really is sad, and so young.

I agree with the final sentiments in that ny times article: Better to burn out that to fade away.

I dont think it was a horrible way for him to die, he died doing what he loved. Death is a sad part of life, i feel bad for his new wife and the rest of his family.

This is actually one of the ways I wanted to go out, but since I'm in a serious relationship now, its basically out of the question. Like Book said, he went out doing what he loved, and as some others said and also what Ive always believed, he went out fast with his adrenaline pumping, not slow, or on a deathbed or anything awful like that.

^agree.
I've completely come to terms with the fact that I will most likely die doing one of the extreme sports i do. I'm sure he wouldn't have rather gone any other way. It's still sad, however, for his family.

what the fuck? whatever, you douchebags will just always flame me if i'm on these forums, so i think the best thing is for me to just not be here. enjoy hl2dmu you fucking asshole.

Horrible way to die? Nahh. Hooked up to tubes (in depends) on a morphine drip that barely covers the pain, waiting for the end is a horrible way to die.

This kid did it right! Doing what he loved.

This is the same random who went on a big "slick fro is the bestest player ever" spree a few months ago... not someone to be taken seriously.

Anyway, likely he will be enjoying hl2dmu in read-only format after this.

welcome to ewR.

Yeah he's done.

why the hostile comments? I like Z ='(
On topic: it sucks when stuff like this happens, but as you said, at least he died doing what he liked and in a fast and non-painful (probably..) way.
