RIP Scot Breithaupt
« on: July 06, 2015, 08:36 AM »
As some of you may know the BMX legend that is Scot Breithaupt passed away this morning.

He courted controversy in the sport and definitely had his demons, but he is and always will be the father of this sport of ours.


Sleep well OM

RIP Scot

He wasn't just there from the beginning he was the beginning. A pioneer, inventor, mentor and friend to many.

His list of achievements is mind blowing and staggering what he achieved in promoting BMX.

Thank you Scot

It'll probably like trying to heard cats but what about a minutes silence for Scott at MK. Maybe lining the track?

Now that is a fantastic idea. Or a minutes applause to give thanks?  Could the MK organisers make it an 'official' event? Say at 5.30 pm (or whenever) on the Saturday, before the lake ride?

I'd say the best time for this is just before the Lake Ride when everyone is together.

Just need a megaphone to tell people.
