RIP Dan $ Stephenson
brass monkey!:
Haven't been on RAD for a few weeks, and just wish to mirror the comments already made. What tragic news, thoughts go out to his young family. I had read about Dan in the national news at the weekend, it was a brief story, it didn't mention RAD, and I must say I didn't realize this was connected to our site at the time...
Never met the guy but clearly he shared the same passion as all of us, BMX - such sad news!
RIP Dan Ca$h

I found about this on Monday as I was heading off on holiday to the TT races. I didn't know Dan in person but had seen him on Facebook in the same Bmx chats. I actually felt sick and very sad as I left, for someone I'd never met it hit me quite hard.
It's making me think very hard about my next ride out that I join in. On previous rides I've been riding around on my Bmx with 6 pints in me, on the road amongst traffic. I would never do that in my car or on my motorbike but I've thought nothing about doing it on a road on a Bmx.
I don't want to go into it, but I've seen some very dangerous riding on previous ride outs. Very naughty stuff done in traffic that was done deliberately to play games with motorists.
As others have said I hope we can move on from this and all take time to think about making ride outs safer.
