Wow RIP Jeremy Lusk

[Hyster]

I haven't had the foggiest on how to keep up with X games but when I get the chance they are always exciting to watch. I personally do not know any of the guys names on the show, I just watch their performance and Ballzy stunts all for points to win competition. Here is one guy who apparently became a fatality in the sport. Thought I would post it because I know that some of you guys are big on the sport as well.
Jeremy Lusk was the guys name and here is a youtube tribute.

R.I.P. jeremy. my 11yr old was reading this at the same time as me and he is almost in tears jeremy lusk & twitch stenberg are his idols. this sux for his family.

 

[slowngreen]

yeah for sure, him and twitch are the "new" school metal malitia they hold it down very well...and on a every day trick like that to take his life makes it all the more sad imo.

really makes me feel bad and pisses me off all the more about the sports now days, these guys along with pro bmxers and evan skaters literally risk their lives every day, day in and day out to entertain us and push the limit of what is and should be humanly possible and they arent paid poop compared to the football, basketball, and baseball players who might get brused up now and then or at the most break a bone, rarely, and make millions and millions of dollars, they also get to sit on the side line, while still making millions if they dont feel that well, these guys have to bust their asses off injury or not to get paid what little they do for such a high risk sport....just bugs me, and the main stream sports or the complete opposite of entertaining to me.

Their tricks get more and more extreme in an effort to be more entertaining and avoid becoming same ole, same ole.
It was barely 2 years ago that I watched a program of a guy trying to do a full back flip off a ramp with a snowmobile. Two days of trying to perfect the snow ramp and nail the landing, LOTS of wrecks and damage to the machine, but when he got it, it was intense. Now it's a regular part of the snowmobiling competition. I believe it's mandatory.

The weight and speed of the machines and the height and acrobatics of the tricks are far more than any safety equipment can make up for.
I'm very saddened for Jeremy Lusk and his family, but at the risk of becoming boring, there will be many more.

i agree 100%

i been watching fmx since it first came about starting with the crusty demons dvds

jeremy lusk was a bad ass for sure and the crazy part was he was the first to do a double hart attark back flip

 

[MGT8.0owner]

oh my god..i can't belive this...jeremy was like my idol...R.I.P jeremy

yeah he was....I agree with how Rolex put it, sadly there will be more deaths do to how extreme any of these guys in all three of the main x sports, fmx, bmx and skaters, have to be and how far its progressed in the last couple years shows how hard they are pushing and most of the guys that were doing the biggest tricks a few years back arent anymore because a new batch of sick bastards have already surpassed those tricks and made them a must to even take last in a comp...bmx is my sport personally although i follow all three, but they have all taken these sports to levels NO one could ever imagine possible, in most cases the tricks being done now days, especially in bmx are for the most part crazier then you can actually do in the video games from a couple years ago that seemed to fake lol!!!

 

[BOUTCH]

[h8z2luze]
