It’s hard to find words when you hear about a rider that lost their life. It was announced that last night Gabe Brooks was found shot dead in the street in the Vermont Square area of Los Angeles over on Ride BMX. No word on how it all went down, but some details have emerged right here about the incident. As many of you know, Gabe was a phenomenal rider that had a lot of ambition, was always entertaining to be around and definitely left his mark on BMX over the years. We’re completely devastated to hear the news. Another amazingly talented person taken far too early. Rest in peace, Gabe. You won’t be forgotten.
