    Jeremy Lusk R.I.P.

    Last night in a hospital bed in Costa Rica, surrounded by his mother, father, wife and number of his closest friends, freestyle motocross star Jeremy Lusk passed away from injuries he suffered while competing in the X-Knights contest. Jeremy was a tough kid: Tough in demeanor, tough in character, tough as a competitor. He could be intimidating both on and off the ramps, but behind it all, he was a genuine, sincere, and kindhearted kid from San Diego, California. Now he's gone.

    When tragic things happen such as this, the first thing we innately do as human beings is search for the memories and times of when the person was, at least in our eyes, at his happiest. The happiest I ever saw Jeremy Lusk was last summer mere minutes after the Summer X Games Moto X Freestyle finals had been completed at the Home Depot Center stadium below Los Angeles. As one of the five judges up in a booth overlooking the contest, we all scrambled to add up the scores on the paper we had scribbled upon. Sixty seconds later, the scores were tabulated, and Lusk was going to win the gold medal. Moments later, the result was radioed down to the floor and huge smiles appeared on the faces of both Jeremy Lusk and his wife, Lauren. Jeremy had won the Big One.


    Whether it is going 200 miles per hour on a MotoGP bike, racing into the fist turn with 39 other motocross racers or doing a double grab backflip, being a motorcycle competitor of any sort requires an almost otherworldly combination of skill and courage. And more than anything, it requires total commitment. For reasons such as these we admire and are even awestruck with the athletes that perform such tremendous feats — especially when the stakes are so very high. Jeremy Lusk was one of the most committed motorcycle competitors in the world. That commitment may have driven him to his fate in a sport where everyone is so close to the edge that they hardly know where it lies. And for that, Jeremy Lusk wouldn't have had it any other way. —Eric Johnson
