THIS is a muthafucking tragedy. And if it's true that the crash was caused by a booby trap, it just makes it that much worse. Dude was a straight ANIMAL.

Close your eyes, look deep in your soul, step outside yourself and let your mind go.
Another great one taken before his time! Loved watching him in last year's Dakar and was hoping to get to see him win it. So sad.
RIP Kurt!

One of his helmet cams came up in some thread somewhere, a win from some hare 'n hound. It blew my mind. Wfo, the whole time, with zero fucks given.
As an example, peep this:

So sorry to hear this news. I followed him closely in last years Dakar and was looking forward to it this year.
A huge loss to the sport.
R.I.P. Kurt.

...Details are still emerging, but booby traps are not uncommon to the Baja. Locals dig holes or build ramps or build obstacles not always with the intent to injure, but sometimes with the intent to create an opportunity for entertainment. They're often haphazardly built, and with a complete disregard for safety.

Sickening. Tragic, senseless loss.

Holy Shit, that's horrible! RIP.
Looks like the booby trap was a rumor. Looks like he may have collided with an animal.

Wow awesome vid! I rode all day, and I feel like riding more after watching that. He had amazing talent for sure.

Link I found over on NEDB about a story of Kurt's last days in Baja and a short video. Helped shed some light on how things happened for those of you that are interested.
That was a very good story. I hope all of us sharing in the tragedy of his passing makes it easier on his family and friends. RIP rider.

Wow... I just read that article and it was pretty tough to read to be honest.
That was an incredibly hard read. Prayers for his family and fiancé.
