Right, what’s up with that. Today is Michael Schumacher’s 54th birthday. Been ten years since his accident.Definitely a huge influence in car culture. Sad loss. Haven't car racers learned to stay away from snow sports yet?
I feel its the chase of that adrenaline rush....im assuming similar to any other addiction. Can't duplicate that feeling...so keep chasing it.what a bummer...I feel like this is typical of guys like him....survives driving a rally car for years, dies on a snowmobile.
So sad to hear this. I had a pair of Droors jeans and plenty of DC Shoes back in the 90's. I think Block was still part of the company when DC had an absolute killer BMX team - or at least I hope to think he had an influence on it.
I saw on one of the IG feeds that he could ride a dirt bike pretty well and guinea pig tested the first Mega Ramp on a dirt bike to show what speed was needed. I tried to find more about it but couldn't. Then found some rad stuff that he did with mountain bikes.
Had a stacked garage of Specialized bikes. From the vid sounds like he had trails close to his house and rode them pretty frequently. That shuttle rig 🤤
And this pic of him and Steve Peat is sweet!

Weird to say but I agree - I hope he was doing something crazy as well - not just riding along.Ugh, wish I didn't watch this. The first few minutes talking about the kids and family, make it much worse. With the stuff he did, I'm sure the wife knew this was a
possibility... It may be cryptic, but as more details come out, I hope he was doing something crazy when it happened, not just riding along...
Yeah, did they ever say what Alicia was doing when she wrecked?Weird to say but I agree - I hope he was doing something crazy as well - not just riding along.
I was just listening to the Remy Metalier interview on the Pink Bike podcast - he got hurt pretty badly this summer just looking at a feature. Seems that the mellow stuff seems to take people out just as much as gnarly stuff.
