Jeremy Lusk died Monday night after succumbing to a brain injury incurred in a Feb. 7 X Riders show in Costa Rica. He died at 11:03 p.m. PT at the Calderon Intensive Care Unit in San Jose, where he was treated for major brain trauma and was in an induced coma to allow swelling of his brain to subside. Video of the crash shows Lusk completing the initial trick of his run, but after his launch from a second, smaller ramp, his bike pitches forward on landing and his full-face helmet shears apart on impact. Lusk died in the presence of his parents, Chuck and Gina Lusk, his wife Lauren and her parents. Mulisha members Brian Deegan, Ryan Hagy, Cameron Steele and Erik Apple were also with him. Funeral arrangements are pending.
I ready that today during school and broke down crying. Jeremy was one of the most influential people in my life other than Travis Pastrana.
R.I.P. Jeremy "Pitbull" Lusk
