"Reigning X-Games champion Jeremy Lusk has died following a serious accident during an event in Costa Rica on Saturday.

The 24 year-old freestyle motocross rider crashed his Yamaha YZ250 heavily after failing to fully rotate a flip. He was rushed into emergency surgery to drain blood that had collected around his brain, but died late last night."

This is terrible news and is more sad to know that the accident was here in my country, I saw it in live it was a terrible crash and a terrible loss for the motorcycle and freestyle sports. ☹ May his soul rest in peace.
