With all due respect...yes, I think I should post the video- that's why I did it. There have been many, many fallen riders who have died doing very similar things...yet doing what they loved most. The video does not show anything even close to being inappropriate. In fact, at the time of the wreck, Jeremy was still alive. He died later in the emergency room. If I was posting it to be vulgar, then yes, there would be reason not to post it. However, I am posting it in memory of Jeremy and supporting what he loved to do. He was a great rider and well respected. There are entire DVD series printed involving the many accidents of current & fallen riders. I am not the only one who posted the same video- as it is being sent out in memory of him everywhere. All of the people there that day saw it first hand. People want to know how it happened. It's not to make fun of anybody. Please don't come into this forum trying to start an argument. If you wish to do so (if you really feel it is necessary), then feel free to PM me anytime.

Thanks.

RIP JEREMY.

I saw it once yesterday, and choose to never see it again.

[tman12345]

i remember reading the thread the other day about the crash and not really following up on it. The title of this thread shocked me. I got the goose bumps. It is very sad to see another rider or anybody pass. RIP.

Ride on brother.. ride on.... I'm still trying to get use to it. All of the pro's are my heros and role models which I highly look up too which im sure a lot of people on here can relate...Growin up watchin lusk tear it up and progress over the years, any time it was his time to run all eyes were glued to the TV including mine! when something like this happens it's a huge blow, it's never good to hear about riders goin down.. :(

[trx400EXtreme]

wow. i really hate to see someone go like that. RIP man. keep on ridin'!

[KXRida]

My crash was literally identical to that when I broke my back. Just not as high. Same thing happened to me. Really made me think how lucky I was today after hearing this new. I was kinda shaken up.

God speed to Jeremy and his family

You will be missed man RIP. Thoughts and prayers go out to his friends and family. Wear Metal Mulisha tomorrow in memory of the fallen soldier.

[JJs450r]

man i hate hearing this r i p

[trick250r]

RIP brother... you'll be missed

[warriorxcr1]

one of my favorite freestyle riders....RIP Lusk....your the man dude!

[SRH]

terrible , i saw the video, its disgusting..... probably better he didnt live with those kinda of injuries, they said suspeected spinal injury.....that high up he would of been a head , a brain and thats it.....excellent rider...im still bothered by it, so young

[jcv400ex]

Godspeed Jeremy. Wow, watching that video...it scares the **** out of me. His visor seemed to dig in and kinked his neck and it snapped pretty violently. Just think of how many times you've gone over the bars over the years and could have been in the same predicament. very scary....RIP Jeremy, you'll be missed.

There are many MANY other videos of him doing what he loved to do. This video can be googled if needed, but there are other videos that are a much better representation of who he was.

I've been watching a lot of riders and it seems like they are getting a LITTLE to greedy with the extentions on the tricks.. I know they score more points but it's not worth putting your are on the line for!
