Well I don't know what to say guys.
Just got off the phone with Steve Animal and had some really bad news about Simon (Cupid Stunt) as apparently he had a seizure last night and passed away. There's no other words I can say but he was one of the nicest blokes on Rad and MK won't be the same without him - my thoughts are with his family and friends right now as he will be truely missed.
There will be an empty seat round the campfire next year all night at MK gents and a truely empty feeling in the original and latest recruits to the Helipad "am" club that is for sure.
If you've got pics of Simon enjoying MK over the last few years would you please post them here as he loved this stupid hobby of ours and had a great time every summer with us.
The MK09 2am club is where it all began - Jonnygoose, I think you've got the pics of this mate so help me out please.
The MK10 3am club

The next morning with his trade-mark fag for breakfast!

The MK11 5am club

Please don't get in touch with Steve (Animal) for a bit as he's absolutley devastated as they've been mates since school and is tying to help sort stuff out.
Simon, you'll be missed buddy.......

Looking through those pictures i note that in all but 1 (where he is eating crisps) he is smiling or laughing, i think that sums up the kind of bloke he was. I think i briefely met him at this years MK and as hasd been said, what a nice guy.

just seen this on facebook, shocked and gutted to hear about the loss of Si. As already said, a top bloke that can't have had any enemys as he was so friendly to everyone. First met him on the lake ride at MK 5 or 6 years ago. There was only Phil (sawzall) Animal, Si, me and maybe 2 others....as Phil said, they won't be the same again.
RIP mate, will have drink for you later. :'(

Really sad news, go on in peace dude.

jesus... so shocked.
I met Simon for the first time at MK11 just a few weeks back and he was a top bloke... he was laughing at everything and I never saw him without a smile on his face.
sad loss of a top bloke...
RIP Simon. A pleasure to have met you.
-
Never met but Loved his user name and enjoyed his posts and banter 8)
Rip fellow radster
-
Like you say ed, whenever I met Simon he always had a smile on his face and was always having a laugh......thoughts go out to his family :(
-
Could we not rename one of the rooms after Si ????
e.g...... Cupid Stunts BMX chat rather than BMX chat or something along those lines.
-
Read my mind Andy !
I have just been talking to the other Mods and I have suggested we re name Bike Of The Month / Year after Simon, as a mark of respect ! As and when people ask why, we can remind the community that his memory lives on !
Nick :daumenhoch:
-
RIP Simon. Shine on Radster.
Friends and family have my deepest condolences.
-
Never spoke to him but always admired that ripper. Crying shame and think a ride in memory of him would be a good idea.
Rip mate
-
:(R.I.P Cupid,never met you but clearly a top bloke,from the posts ive read,great Ripper too,think re-naming the B.O.M or chat forum a great idea,my condolences to his friends & family too.
Matt
-
Sad loss RIP buddy.
-
absolutley shocked, was out yesterday and I've just read this
like many have said, Si was a top bloke and met/spoke to him many a time over the years on rad, this is really really sad news and I can't believe it.
my deepest sympathy goes out to his family and Steve (animal).
-
Bike of the Month section is now going to be renamed in Simons memory :daumenhoch:
I would suggest that after the formalities that we do a ride also ! Great idea Paul :daumenhoch:
-
Hi everyone,
This is Simon's (Cupid Stunt) brother, he always loved his bikes and i know he loved going to all the bike shows and chatting with all you guys.
He was a great friend and the best brother anyone could ever ask for.
Thank you for all the messages, they're really appreciated.
Thank you,
Robin
-
Just saw this, such a sad loss :'(
RIP

Very sad to read this. I never had the pleasure of meeting Simon, sounded like a great bloke. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.
R.I.P Simon - BMX for eternity.
-
Gobsmacked. Only met him once at MK. Sad loss :'(
-
The BOTM / BOTY section has now been renamed in Simon's memory. It is not a lot I know but it will keep his spirit alive here on Rad for ever.

Cheers Sean, that's a nice touch and I know steve will be made up. Just got a text off him and he's really touched by all the replies, so keep them coming and I will update this thread as soon as Steve lets me know about any more details. It's really not sunk in yet and to those who knew Simon, these comments are spot on, especially the one about him only ever smiling or eating crisps (or smoking or holding a beer of course).
RIP buddy, you will be sorely missed and when MK rolls around, it will really remind me of how much you'll be missed :'(
-
I never had the pleasure or privilege to meet Si but as has been wrote before he was part of the wider BMX family and that means alot.
My thoughts are with his family and friends,
Rest in peace Simon.
-
:'( Tragic.Thoughts to family and friends.

terrible news.
thinking of his family and friends at this time.
-
I'm another that never had the pelasure of meeting him but he clearly was a top bloke, a good friend to many of you and a valued member of rad, RIP Simon.
-
Being fairly new, I never really had the privilege of speaking to you or meeting you. My thoughts go out to his family and animal. R.I.P. :'(
-
I too never met Simon, but my thoughts go out to your family. RIP fella.
-
RIP rad dude :'( ride on

OK lads, a quick update. Just been talking with Steve and there is still no news about any funeral plans due to delays in the process.
Simon's family will let Steve know as soon as they know and one of us will be on here with a further update.
Seems to take for ages but you can't rush these things unfortunately :-\

Cant believe this, My heart goes out to your family. Take care mate.
