Sad news from Costa Rica: FMX rider Jeremy Lusk has passed away from injuries suffered during a horrific crash in Costa Rica last Saturday.
Lusk’s family and friends had traveled to Costa Rica and were by his side when he died.
Our condolences go out to his family. Personally, I met and interviewed Lusk last year at his Temecula home and watched him ride with other Mulisha riders at Deegan’s place. After spending several hours with him, I could sense he loved what he did and was a genuine good guy. It’s a huge loss for FMX and action sports.
Here is the official press release from his publicist:
It is with the greatest sadness that we report…our beloved Jeremy Lusk passed away at approximately 11:03 PM PST this evening due to complications from the crash sustained Saturday evening in Costa Rica. Still in the Calderon Hospital Intensive Care Unit, he was surrounded by his loving Mother and Father, Chuck and Gina Lusk, his wonderful wife Lauren, his Mother and Father-in-Law Lynne and Larry and many of his closest Mulisha family members including Brian Deegan, Ryan Hagy, Cameron Steele
and Erik Apple.
Please keep Jeremy and his family in your thoughts and prayers. All the warm thoughts, comments and support are comforting in these times.
We will provide further updates regarding arrangements as we get them.

i would just like to say that it is tragic to see young men lose there life.i also want to say it is the job he chose for himself and with it came risk.i do have to say though i thinkj the tricks are getting to extreme and they are at a point where this type of thing could possibly happen more often.
