If you don't know who Scot Breithaupt is, or unaware of his life and his achievements, this is worth a read.

I am not stating any of it to be true or false, just bringing it to your attention  :daumenhoch:

The article doesn't, and wouldn't, change my view of a Man who changed the lives of millions of children throughout the World. It is sad to read of the way his life took the routes it did but I am sure the message in there is powerful enough to help more children decide on life paths too  :daumenhoch:

Interesting read indeed, doesn't change my mind about him either, will for some though who see addiction as a personal choice instead of an illness, although most of those people have never experienced addiction at first hand either themselves or a through close relative or friend.

The guy was a flawed genius, we owe him everything when it comes to BMX, it would not have been the same without him...

Very sad end to his life, he deserved so much more.

RIP OM

Yep, such a shame that someone who's achieved so much could end up with so little.  :'(
