i put the action in action sports (3/12)

last night, jeremy lusk died hours after crashing on a heart-attack backflip in the x-nights competition in costa rica.

i'm at a loss for words today. i can't seem to figure out what's going on. fmx has become so competitive it's evolving into it's own best trick competition. lusk was as smooth and steady of a rider as stenberg, with the strength and muscle of deegan to pull off the flip tricks that won him gold at X-08. he was only 24 and i feel really bad for his wife and his parents. he was the future of fmx and it's a huge loss for the moto-x world. r.i.p. jeremy.
