shitty shitty news...Jeremy Lusk who won xgames last year and transworld rider of the year among other things passed away after a horrible crash in Costa Rica this weekend. My prayers go out to his family and friends

[JohnnyV]

Is he by any chance related to Ezra Lusk? I used to love watching him race back when ESPN2 had supercross on often.

[GixerJockey]

He died doing what he loved. We should all be so lucky. God Speed Mr. Lusk.

I don't think he was related but ya, Ezra was good...I wonder what he is upto these days.

In a nutshell, what happened?

[underhillbu]

From what I read he landed on his head doing a Hart Attach back flip. Awful awful news. RIP

[seth399]

In a nutshell, what happened?

almost similar to wreck he had at xgames doing the same trick. seatgrab backflip, kinda underrotated and got thrown. Whole body kinda folded over his head, really horrible looking.

[BMFR6]

yeah, don't watch the video.
awful news.

[Sheppo]

God Speed

[mikeb]

god that sucks and just 24. rip bro

[typeone]

awful, awful news

i dont know much about emergency response tactics but the flipping him over so quickly, removal of the helmet and barely-restrained head while running him out of the venue looked totally ridiculous.

RIP, Jeremy.. .

[klepsta]

Wicked sad news. RIP.

[OreoGaborio]

Uhg... sounds like helluva way to go hope it was quick.

Ride on in peace, brother.

from what i got the crash took place saturday and he passed this am in the hospital. RIP

This is sad, but

Its amazing you dont hear about more of this....

I dont mean to come off sounding like an asshole, but think of the factors involved. This sport is in my eyes the most calculated of risks yet at the same time the most prone to catastrophic failure.....

It is truly tragic that this man has passed, but think of it this way

to be at that level and be able to do what he did for a living, he truly died doing what he loved....

you cant be that good at any sport and be able to compete at that level without truly knowing, understanding, and LOVING not only the rewards of accomplishment, but also the risk....

everyone here has had a pucker moment and appreciated things going well that much more.... just keep in mind that not every oh shit moment ends with you going home to your family.

[CEO]

I also watched the video, in slow mo none the less, and wish I did not.

RIP

[Paul_E_D]

It's very hard to look at "injuries not compatible with life" as we called it in my EMT days... I'll skip it.

RIP

[R7]

I don't think he was related but ya, Ezra was good...I wonder what he is upto these days.

Isn't Ezra Lusk one of the commentators for AMA SuperCross??

Very sad news for sure, RIP

Saw the video posted on NEDB Sunday night, not pretty
