Recent Comments fmf 4 life says: "this nigga was the shit in fmx and he was always going big on everything oh and all the haters out there ya aint nothing" | R.I.P. Jeremy Lusk 11/26/1984 - 02/09/2009 Freestyle Motocross Star Dies Jeremy Lusk, of Temecula, CA, has died after he under-rotated a Hart Attack backflip and slammed head first into the dirt on Saturday, Feb. 7 in Costa Rica. He sustained severe brain damage and a possible spinal cord injury, said Jorge Ramirez, chief of the intensive care unit at Calderon Hospital. Lusk survived an initial surgery late Saturday night that was intended to stem brain swelling, even though his chances of surviving the procedure were low. "He was in a medicine-induced coma as a protective measure, and the medicine was being reduced to see how his organism responded," said Ramirez. "That didn't mean he was going to wake up. He was in shock and that got worse last night, until he stopped responding and entered into cardiac and respiratory failure." He died with wife, Lauren, his parents, and friends at his side at approximately 11:30 PM PST. Lusk had just come off an incredibly successful 2008 season, in which he took home Freestyle gold and Best Trick silver at the X Games, and in the process landed the first ever double grab Hart Attack backflip. He also won both Freestyle and Best Trick gold at the X Games Mexico, finished third overall in Freestyle on the '08 Dew Tour, and earned a bronze helmet at the Moto X World Championships. A trust has been set up in his memory, and donations can be made through the Athlete Recovery fund, www.athleterecoveryfund.com. Jeremy Lusk will be sorely missed and the staff at GrindTV offers our deepest condolences to his family and friends.

listeh ****!! you need to get off your computer, and quit jacking off to every pic of a leg or clevage that you see. your mom is probably watching everything you do to yourself, and it is only a matter of time before you kill yourself becuase you will realize just how much your life sucks, and how much you make everyone else suck. eat a **** and choke on it fagg boy

Unicycle...what you don't understand is that this Man was doing what he loved, and was the best at it. What do you do besides put people down..is that your talent. Most of the time people who are losers always put other people down when they see no importance in their own pitiful life..or what they think is life...this Man lived life...and through his legacy others will live through it trying to live up to it. He will never be forgotten...but you will...So sad. I am an American Soldier (Airborne)..Hooa!, I guess people who have no meaning will never know...If you live and do what you love...dying is just what the hazard is...but we do because we are true to life...I bet you this man loved life more than you do. He knew what was at stake...he lived to his fullest...do you even have a life? And I don't mean video games and wet dreams. Go and live a true life and learn some respect for others. Jerk.
