X Games Gold Medalist Dies at 24 >>R.I.P Jeremy
Anything that runs on racing fuel gets to most all of us members. So, its sad to see one of our "motorhead" friends die at such a young age. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif May Jeremy Lutz rest in peace along with otherracers who have died at what they love to live for.
Jeff SAN JOSE, Costa Rica (Feb. 10) - Jeremy Lusk, an American freestyle motocross racer, died of head injuries on Tuesday after crashing while trying to land a backflip in competition. He was 24. Lusk won a gold medal at the 2008 X Games. He was injured on Saturday when he failed to complete a full rotation while attempting a Hart Attack backflip and slammed headfirst into the dirt. Lusk crashed in almost identical fashion in the freestyle semifinals at the 2007 X Games but was not hurt. He had a successful 2008 season, winning freestyle gold at the X Games and silver in best trick when he landed the first double-grab Hart Attack backflip. He won a bronze helmet in freestyle at the Moto X World Championships in his hometown of San Diego. Ramirez said Lusk died with his parents and his wife, Lauren, at his side. Lusk lived in Temecula, California. |
