That is awful, I was watching a show about these guys last night. They said they reach speeds of 90+ mph. Rest In Peace.

sad. atleast he died doing something he loved. they move on those things.

Damn, that video is disturbing to watch, gives me shivers. It's really sad, and they were saying that 3 other people crashed on that course today also during practice. R.I.P.

Im not to sure what his injuries were but im sure it was f rom a broken neck. My parents were watching it live, and they said that they showed everything, like thme tryint to recessitate him, and they said there was blood everywhere, but they don't have that stuff on the internet. I understand he died doing what he loves, but its just a shame...

[TWISTED DINLI]

wow that is horrible.

there has been extreme controversy over this track and when I was watching the news this morning, they were even saying that the rider who died was terrified of the track. They moved the starting spot down 900ft to compensate for the speed. They were almost touching 100 before, now they are only around 90-94 at max.

Wrong, they were around 93-94 before. and now around 85-89

He was actually still alive. He died at the hospital upon arrival. That is sad. Looks like a terrible course setup right there. Had he stayed on the course he might still be alive. That sucks.
