They had about a 12 second mention of him on SportsCenter this morning. Not that it matters at this point, but they didnt even have the care to say how he died correctly. They said "he died from doing a backflip, a stunt that he has crashed before and scared him out of attempting it for another month." Yes he died from a backflip but it was the variation of it that cost him his life and that cant even say it. It was a heart attack backflip, again the name of it doesnt change anything, but it does show how much the rest of the sports world could careless about Freestyle Moto X. There is one thing I have learned when I started riding and these guys are to tough or crazy to admit it, but once you get "scared" it isnt a good idea to do it. If you cant go at something with 100% confidence you shouldnt do it. You cant have any doubts, you just have to do it. Anyway, like the others have said, he died doing something he loved and at least we can be thankful for that.
