BMX lost another good one…
It’s always a bummer hearing news about a BMX rider that has passed away. We just caught wind that long time Pro in the late 90’s and early 2000’s, Jim Burgess, has passed away at the age of 50. Some of you older guys undoubtedly recall Jim blasting vert ramps at contests all over the country back in the day. You can read more about Jim over on the X Games website where they have put together a great piece talking about Jim’s history as a Pro BMX rider and an X Games athlete.
Rest in Peace, Jim.
