Holy shit I remember him at the XGames being an utter legend. Must have been in a really bad place.

The guy was a fucking legend :( I remember watching him being the first guy to pull back to back flair's on the vert. First guy to pull a no handed 360 backflip off a ramp. Absolutely gutted.

No one seems to know what caused this, but it's a damned, damned shame :( BMX just lost a titan :(
