I'm getting sick of all this death.

This guy was a bmx legend if you don't know him.

He was 41 I think.

I read it was a self inflicted gunshot wound. Had a brain tumor too.

I can't remember which x games it was but I remember the look in his face when Jamie Bestwick beat him to gold in the very final, it was like "ok, I can't sit back and watch this happen again" and he came back stronger than ever he was a competitor through and through, suicide is the one way to go that I wouldn't expect from him.

I never saw that.

I remember the Dave Mirra game on the ps1 and on Nitro Circus doing the loop on his bike. Sure he was in a chicken suit too.

2016 is already a shite year.

its a shame his sport wasnt as mainstream as others..the skill and dedication should always have been included into olympic sports etc

Absolute shame he may have taken his life.
