Devastated - Total legend of his sport, so sad to see. Grew up watching him, playing the games on console etc - dreadfully sad.

RIP Miracle Man

First ever double backflip in 2000

Very sad

Some of the comments over on PB regarding CTE are pretty interesting, didn't even know that was a thing..

Really sad to read this, first I had heard. Followed him on Instagram after reading about him getting into triathlon a few years ago, and having followed him in his bmx days.

Always striked me as an inspiration given how hard he seemed to work at things. Which is what makes this all the more surprising.
