Freestyle motocross racer Jeremy Lusk dies trying stunt

Update, after speaking over at home, they say Jeremy did not die but 10 minutes after his parents walked into the hospital room...

tough ending

Some reports said he died in the hospital. Is this a case of where you are not dead until your are pronounced dead at the hospital? Surely he had to have died instantly with his body contorted in such a manner. Such a horrible way to die.

My god the video of that spill is the worst slam I've ever seen. At first I was thinking, at least he died doing what he loved.

Now I'm thinking. MAn, necks should never bend that way.

Poor dude.

Costa Rican Reports say that he is in a coma, not dead, is he dead?

"RIP"

there's a reason most people have developed a capacity for fear and a drive for self-preservation...

So Sad to see a life end this way. I hope the family finds comfort in their memories. May God be with them and give them strength to deal with this tragedy.

so sad

My heartfelt sorrow goes out to his family and the Mulisha. That really was horrible to watch.

you ride the bull...

That's hard to see indeed.

bummer, my condolences to the family he left behind.

All it takes is one screw up. No matter how great you are, you're not perfect.

It sucks no matter what...that he died and in such a brutal way. To not be able to say goodbye and get a response...I hope his family finds comfort at this time.

I know when you do things over and over you can feel when it's right, but when it feels wrong it usually is. Wonder when he knew it went wrong?
I have a nephew that is a "fairly dangerous man", Has been since before he could walk.
Almost decapitated himself in an ATV accident He just has to push the death line to feel he's living. He's still in H.S. and has already had multiple concussions. Oh, Lord. He's a real emotion demand on my sister and brother-in-law. He doesn"t see the problem. My Heart truely goes out to his family. I hope they can celebrate his vibrant life.

Can't imagine he would have wanted to go out any other way, can you?

RIP

His family is a friend of ours. Our prayers are with the Lusk family. Its a sad day indeed.

ouch.

they know the risks. still is rough though.

At least it was quick and painless.

Being a daredevil means you take that chance in exchange for the rockstar-type glory. Still, sad to see.

BTW...this is legal but so many other much less harmless and more fun things aren't?

Why is that?

Poor bloke... but accepted risk eh.

damn :(
such a tragic loss

Dude, a freaking shame!!! Everyone in Costa Rica was all over this, 24.000 people watching. He fell the same way a year before and saved himself for inches, this time, it was a lot more messed up...
