That is very sad. When I watch those guys on the drag bikes I wonder what kind of guts it must take to ride one of them that fast. It looked like the track surface he was on in that one video was way less than smooth.

I guess he died doing what he loved though, if that is any consolation.

It's always sad to hear of a death but we all know the risk when we do stuff like that. I'm sure he wouldn't of wanted to die any other way.
