Freestyle Motocross Rider Dies: 24 Year Old Jeremy Lusk

Posted on February 10, 2009 - 5:44pm by Cindy
Jeremy Lusk crashed in competition in Costa Rica on Saturday night--he was attempting a Hart Attack backflip and slammed head first into the dirt.  He has been in intensive care since then but,  "last night he stopped responding and entered into cardiac and respiratory failure," according to Doctor Ramirez of Calderon Hospital.   His wife, parents, in-laws, and closet friends were at his side.



A trust has been set up in his memory:
