I had a harro Mira frame and was really into BMX because of him. I had a poster of him doing a huge air, I got it from fox racing when they sold it at pacsun. 1 Quote

5150banshee Posted February 5, 2016 Report Posted February 5, 2016 Especially with two kids.I agree, they say when your that deep in depression you mind is so unhealthy and not in its normal state it cause wild wild thoughts and actions. Prayers for his kids and family life can flip at the drop of a hat. 1 Quote

87sheerips Posted February 7, 2016 Report Posted February 7, 2016 That is so fucked up. Also had a Mirra Haro frame. Dude was a legend. Suicide is something I have never understood. If its that bad, move to the UP and get rid of your phone. Quote
Glenyboy Posted February 7, 2016 Report Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) Was certainly a shock to hear! Me and my pals idolised him as kids, played the games, rode the haros, watched in amazement at his flairs. It's a real shame he never fealt comfortable enough to share his problems with somebody. R.I.P. Edited February 7, 2016 by Glenyboy Quote
SandSlingerOR Posted February 7, 2016 Report Posted February 7, 2016 It even made our local news & needless to say I was stunned. I still rember to this day when he pulled the first ever double backflip on a bmx bike @ the xgames. Man you'd think he'd be living the dream & not be depressed & shoot himself. Sad day for sure 1 Quote
