Yep...sadly it's one of THE most asked questions when new members come on here. And it's even sadder that we have to tell them whats happened, GREAT loss to the BMX community, along with a few other too  :(

Do you know what "nemesis" means? A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent. Personified in this case by an 'orrible cnut... ME!

what the hell is going on :tickedoff: i just can't imagine that scenario but they must be going through pure hell for these great people to be doing this :'( where is the help for these people? my brother died at 32 when i was 21 i have just turned 38 and i have been grateful for every year that has gone by since i turned 32
I went through a lot a few years back financially and thought there was no way out but after actually admitting it to myself and my wife (who didn't know) i felt like a massive massive weight had been lifted off my shoulders and got professional advice and after a lot of hard work,long hours and determenation and support from my family i got out of it
If anyone reads this i would say to them no matter what happens through life think of your loved ones,friends and family and think of the things you DO have and not the things you CANNOT have
like the person above said life really is too short
good luck to evryone and best wishes
paul
