That sucks.  >:(  I have seen him compete several times. R.I.P.
Woohoohoohoo! Two personal records! For breath holding and number of sharks shot in the face.

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.

I have watched him perform quite a few times.

He was damn good!

RIP

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