Awful! Makes me think every time I go out on my motorbike.
Do you know what happened? Did the bike land on top of him or did he highside? Those are the two most common causes of death in Motocross, so I'm told.

Oh my goodness Greedo, I am so sorry to hear that and so young too.
Like you pointed out, it puts everything in perspective

Don't know anything about motorcross mate.
He was doing a pretty standard jump apparantly and came off as he hit soft sand and suffered internal injuries. Thing is aswell he always went to a track near Dunblane but it was waterlogged and they headed to another they never really go to. Obviously didn't know it well.
He runs a really succesful cleaning business and employs a lot of people as well. God knows what will happen to that

I'm guessing the bike landed on him - even the 250cc mx bikes can weigh in excess of 100Kg - so that's at least 16 stone of bike hitting him at 40 or 50 mph. Poor guy.

Read about it in the P&J during the week and was struck by how sad it was. The report said it's very unusual too, normally legs and collarbones.
Condolences.
