dunefreak Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Man....what a sad day today. I can't believe this! It's sounding like there was a man made boobie trap set up. Someone on TT said he hit it so hard it ripped his forks clean off. I really hope this is not the case. He deserved so much more than this. Either way he was an incredible rider and was on his way to becoming a legend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanddunesaddict Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 (edited) reminds me back in 1995 of when Danny Hamel died down there in the 500 running into a vehicle while racing a motorcycle at race pace...

19th_AT Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 IMO booby traping or altering the course should be criminalized. But then again its almost law less down there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunefreak Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 Somewhat better news about Caselli. His fatal crash was NOT a result of a booby trap. That was just an internet rumor. It appears he hit a small animal before his crash. KTM's official statement: "The team, who have now recovered Kurt's bike discovered traces on the machine that indicate he had collided with some small animal, which apparently caused the crash."

DirtBikeGuy Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 So sad guy was an awesome guy to have met Nd chatted with, he was a true sportsman and a good all around guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 Had to share this awesome video in this thread as well. Kurt was so talented and best of all his attitude was perfect. He was very humble, didn't have a big ego like many riders, and just enjoyed riding. Like he said, "It's not about anybody else, it's purely up to you". RIP fellow orange rider.
