SAN JOSE, Costa Rica (AP)—Jeremy Lusk, an American freestyle motocross rider, died of head injuries Tuesday after crashing while trying to land a backflip in competition. He was 24.

Jorge Ramirez, chief of the intensive care unit at Calderon Hospital where Lusk was taken, said the motocross racer suffered severe brain damage and a possible spinal cord injury.

Very sad. That said, I'm really surprised more of those guys aren't killed doing some of that stuff.

Tragic indeed, but I agree, you'd think there'd be more accidents like that one.
