if you haven't seen the video of the jump, it was a really, really nasty landing.

i was actually surprised to hear that he'd died given all the positive news being reported by the press the last day or so.

Well that sucks.

I have to ask, though, as Im not in touch with the free style mx world.

Was he and his family really that short on cash that they need a fund setup?  He won a lot, right?  No income from that?

Just wondering.

RIP Jeremy.

I just watched his complete final performance.  He started off nailing the landings.  Then, the 3rd and second to last jumps he landed a little long.  There was only 10 sec left on the clock, and he went for 1 more, and landed way short and looked instantly in big trouble.  Wonder if he had the last 2 landings on his mind.

These guys make huge flips look so easy, you forget how dangerous it is.

The crash vid is a tough watch. A grim reminder that we are all mere mortals.
Be safe guys.
