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.

February 10th, 2009 at 3:00 pm
This tragedy could be prevented if he stopped after injuring himself before. it is sad, but it is all his fault, we we’re granted only one life by God so take care of it and never put ourselves in any tragic moment like this.

it wouldn’t have mattered if he wore a neck brace because he did not break his neck. He brained had swelled up. they did an surgery and they didn’t think that he would make it through that, but he did and it got worst through the night.
February 10th, 2009 at 3:14 pm
RIP man
thoughts and prayers to his family and friends
you WILL be missed.
February 10th, 2009 at 3:15 pm

February 10th, 2009 at 3:39 pm
I have to believe had he crashed in the states, he might have had a better chance. The video of the on-sight medical attention is just appalling. It sickens me to think what could’ve been done had he received proper emergency care on sight. RIP Jeremy you will be missed
February 10th, 2009 at 3:39 pm
MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO THE LUSK FAMILY U WILL BE MISSED JEREMY LOVED TO WATCH YOU PERFORM AWESOME TRICKS THAT WERE WICKED BUT YOU WAS THE MASTER AND NOW I JUST CANT BELIEVE YOUR GONE REST IN PEACE JEREMT GOD SPEED .
February 10th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
We should all get to leave this life doing what we love…..it’s sad he’s gone but, stand up and cheer for the things he accomplished while he was here doing what he was so great at ! May God grant you peaceful rest and comfort those you leave behind.
February 10th, 2009 at 3:43 pm
I was like 10 ft away from were he crashed and this news is shocking, a lot of people here in cr were watching it on live tv and the replays were devastading. i wonder if the wind had anything to do with his fall. either way RIP Jeremy our thoughts and prayers go out to your freinds and family.
February 10th, 2009 at 3:44 pm
RIDE IN PEACE Jeremy!
February 10th, 2009 at 3:46 pm

February 10th, 2009 at 4:07 pm
I’m not big on motor cross, but when i read wat happen it touched me and it felt like one of my lil brothers died. My condolences goes out to his family friends and fans. R.I.P.
February 10th, 2009 at 4:08 pm
To Factoryblak: I´m really sad about this lost and believe me that all this country is (Costa Rica) sad too. Actually last saturday after the accident all the people was very worried about what happened to Jeremy more than the event. And all that I´m gonna say maybe is not the moment to do it but you can say what could or couldn´t happened if the accident was here in Costa Rica or in United States. The protocol that every emergency crew follows is the same in every country in the world and you can´t underestimate a country because is not United States, country by the way, that is not the center of the universe as you think. Here the medical services are really really good (and free) an they managed the situation in the way that could be managed in the United States or Germany or wherever the accident could happen. It´s a shame that a great guy as Jeremy was, had that accident and died but you can´t say the medical services weren´t good enough because we are not USA. Rest in peace Jeremy!!
February 10th, 2009 at 4:11 pm
this is a horrible day in freestyle its sadd that this sport has been pushed to where it is today it was never ment to be a comp sport it was made to get away from all that this isnt the first there are other people whos lives have been destroyed from the progression of the sport its time to step up and say we have gone to far YOU THE FANS WANT TO MUCH
February 10th, 2009 at 4:13 pm

ATTENTION ANYONE ATTENDING THE SAN DIEGO SUPERCROSS THIS SATURDAY: i am making a rememberance t-shirt and poster for jeremy, and will be wearing them at the supercross. i think it would be great if anyone going who reads this does something similiar, so we can show Jeremy’s family and friends how much his hometown race loves and misses him. let me know if what you think KawieRider180@yahoo.com is my e-mail. thanks, god bless, and Jeremy, you will always be in my prayers.
February 10th, 2009 at 4:53 pm
Lusk was a beast, with out a doubt, and no matter freestyle, or racer a loss to the motocross community is detremental on every aspect. pray for his family and him and hopefully he can protect all of us riders from a better place. we love u jeremy and you will never be forgotten.

Jane do you know what passion is? Jeremy died giving to us the very gift that god gave him! Talent. He died doing what he loved and what all of us loved so much about him he had passion and talent. He is not at fault our father in heaven called upon him and he followed.

Ride In Peace, God Bless You And Your Family.
February 10th, 2009 at 6:38 pm
I have never met Jeremy or his family, but i cant help but feel deeply saddend by this whole thing. After just reading the interview with him in transworld mag not to long ago, and everthing going great, and then coming on here today to read the headline “Remembering Jeremy Lusk” i was very shocked! And then after watching the video(which i shouldnt have done) i couldnt think of anything to say, i was just stuned, and i still am. My greatest sympathies to his family and friend’s, i can’t begin to imagine how they are feeling…….Rest In Peace Jeremy, you wont be forgotten!
February 10th, 2009 at 6:41 pm
God Bless Jeremy, his wife, family and friends. Very tragic to see such a young man taken away. That was a horrible accident, but what was the medical staff in the stadium thinking. Quickly turning him over, ripping off his helment, and running with him barly attached to the stretcher was very hard to watch. Please hire properly trained personnel in the future for these kids putting their lives at risk. That was no way to treat a brain and spinal injured person.
February 10th, 2009 at 6:42 pm
dude thats not ok…why would you say that
February 10th, 2009 at 6:50 pm
i cant belive the dude died…. i am in total shock….ive talked to jeremy several times…nicest guy…..RIP buddy
February 10th, 2009 at 6:54 pm
we have never meet other , We lost a daugther in July 4th 2008
to the same thing are pray are with wifeand family. he is in heaven where he can ride in know fear. I bet he was a great rider.
the angels have him now. My family knows what his family is going
though.Its pain you can’t get over or under stand.like what if
would have done something different.love all……..
February 10th, 2009 at 7:08 pm
I prayed the instant i saw the video and continue to pray after hearing of Jeremy’s passing. Although i have little background in FMX, I am the co owner of a BMX company as well as a rider so I can relate to Jeremy’s unconditional love for his sport. We all know the risks associated with our lifestyles, but that doesn’t stop us from going out and doing what we love. We need to keep Jeremy, his family, and friends in our prayers and continue to forge on in Jeremy’s honor. Keep it metal.
RIP JEREMY LUSK

I saw Jeremy at countless X-Games events. Just this last Summer after the winner ceremony at the X-Games he was throwin stuff to the crowd, and he looked me dead in the eye and toossed me his boot. It was ripped form my hands, so he threw his other one. I didnt get that either, but the fact that he tried makes it that much better. I will never forget that moment.
God Speed Jeremy!

really don’t know to much about the sport, Just know they have my complete respect I fell really hurt inside for Jeremy and his family through this time of hurt and hope god bring’s them peace in this hard time.
February 11th, 2009 at 2:52 am
Stay in peace Jermy
February 11th, 2009 at 3:47 am
Condolences and prayers, for the family. My Son, Jeremiah, rode ramps with Jeremy, very early in his FMX career, and both he and I, will miss him and his FMX talent. There are no easy answers to this tragic accident, however, he was very successful at a sport he enjoyed immensely. It does not soften the loss, but many who are not extreme athletes with a passion for their sport, die with an innocuous slip in tub at home.
I hope everyone remembers Jeremy by living their lives to the fullest.
Thanks for the memory’s,
Steve

February 11th, 2009 at 9:45 am
Jeremy is the MAN. Our brother laid it out for all of us, we can never forget.
February 11th, 2009 at 10:06 am
If anyone from transworld is reading this can you please take that stupid comment off the website, i can’t believe there is someone on this planet that would say something so stupid. Hey Bro, have fun with Karma….. It’s coming
February 11th, 2009 at 10:10 am
hey bradley “f.u.” you loser
February 11th, 2009 at 10:16 am

RIP Jeremy…

I saw this live on TV, and the first thing I thought was, “Oh my GOD! This guy has to be already dead”… The crash was really bad and he remained uncouncious until he fell in coma, his wife arrived to the hospital next day morning, and his parents arrived only 10 minutes before his death.
If you ask me if I would prefer him to be alive or not, I would say that it would be better for him and his family to be dead than being on a wheelchair or in a bed for the rest of his life time or even worse, depending on tubes and machines.
Ride In Peace Jeremy Lusk! WE LOVE YOU!
February 11th, 2009 at 10:38 am
I’m not saying the medical attention he received in the hospital was poor, in fact it is my understanding that he received excellent care in the hospital. The procedures that were followed on site is where my problem lies. Jeremy suffered a obvious head/neck injury. They way he was rolled over, helmet removed, head and body not secured and then running off the track with him just on a back board. All within 2 min. of the accident.It has been proven that the most important time after a major injury is the minutes immediately after, so to move him so quickly was completely unnecessary. I can assure as a someone who is an EMT and works a lot of amateur motocross events, those first responders followed absolutely no procedures that are standard in the sates and many other countries. It is no a knock on Costa Rica as a country. But I just know that here that those protocols would have been followed and it may not have saved his life, but you would have known everything that could have been done was.
February 11th, 2009 at 11:13 am
Bradleys comment was just wicked horrible. I only ride quads but always care when anyone gets injured in any off road sport or any other sport for that matter.
Cant see why they havent taken that incredibly stupid comment down.
Just donated $10 to the fund. It is not much but always try to do so when I see a riderdown.org or athleterecoveryfund.com stand at a race or an event. Never know when it could be myself or one of my friends.
February 11th, 2009 at 11:49 am
my prayers go to lusk and his family…atleast he died doing something he loved doing with his whole heart and not in iraq or whatever at a war. either way its a big blow to the worldwide motocross/fmx family
February 11th, 2009 at 12:29 pm
God Bless Jeremy….He was the best….he lived more in 24 years than most live in a lifetime…our thoughts and prayers are with the family
February 11th, 2009 at 12:38 pm
Our thoughts and prayers are with Jeremy’s family and the mulisha. Your sadness is felt around the world. I’m glad I had the chance to watch and read about him. Jeremy is a true inspiration to all.
God speed, and RIP brother.
February 11th, 2009 at 1:24 pm
Please Transworld: Please take these heartless immature comments down. Please………R.I.P Jeremy
February 11th, 2009 at 2:02 pm
you’re an idiot Bradley
February 11th, 2009 at 2:21 pm
My heart goes out to Jeremy, his family, and his Mulisha friends. It is a shame he had to pay the ultimate price for doing something he loved and devoted his life to.
It’s not about money, fame, or fortune for the individules that pursue FMX - it’s about passion, friendships, and loyalty.
I think we all need to step back, take a breath, and be thankfull that God has given us another day to be with our family and friends.
Rest in peace Jeremy.
February 11th, 2009 at 2:40 pm
jeremy you will be missed very much and i send my best wishes to the lusk family during these hard times.. jeremy inspired us in many ways and left a big impact on many of our lives.. im praying for you and the lusk family… god speed man,, lost but not forgotten

This is absolutely the saddest thing ever, as a mother, I pray for Jeremy’s mom and dad and actually anybody who loved Jeremy. My thoughts and hugs and prayers are with you all. RIP Jeremy.
February 11th, 2009 at 3:39 pm
Please someone take notice of this pond scum defacing the memory of this wonderful talented athlete….take down there post, this is not a place for there crudeness. I notice everyone talking about Karma, I thinking more along the lines of heaven and hell.
Hell being the choice for these digenerates.

February 11th, 2009 at 5:19 pm
People like you are the reasons the world is the way it is! Do you have no understanding or compassion? Maybe you should crawl back under the rock from which you came from and leave the comments to people who do care! If you hate motocross that much, what are you doing in here?.
February 11th, 2009 at 5:29 pm
R.I.P. Jeremy, and thanks for the ride.
You are one of a kind, and will always be remebered.

Sad, cut down, right at his prime.
February 11th, 2009 at 7:44 pm
I always watched FMX wondering how it felt to make that many people cheer then flip to you feet on a landing pile put you arms in the air and absorb the love. I must be GOD like. Im glad he was able experence that before he died. he was my age, I hope one day I will have one experence like that before i die. REST IN PEACE. To all you ride safe.
February 11th, 2009 at 7:45 pm
Man, I don’t know what to say. Rest in peace, FMX Rider of the Year, We’re sure gonna miss you.
February 11th, 2009 at 8:04 pm
It takes a great person to be an inpiration. You did more than that, you have shown the world that you can do or be anything you set your mind to. Jeremy, you will always be remembered as a hero. Thoughts and prayers go out to the family, I can’t imagine what you are going though right now. Always remember the whole world loved him.
February 11th, 2009 at 8:07 pm
