"Sometimes the line between getting the most out of life and giving up life is narrower than we realize."

Due to an accident on the 4x course at MSC #3 Chile Challenge @ Angel Fire, NM. Fellow racer & Mojo Wheels Rider 17yr old Craig Lange was severely injured. Injured so badly that he could not recover and died today from injuries sustained from the accident. My understanding is that he went OTB on the final Double in the last straight. Out of respect for his family and friends, The Mountain States Cup cancelled 4x racing at this event.

From my Team and myself I'd like to offer our condolences and prayers to his family and friends. Shred in peace buddy. You will be missed!

Condolences from California, Craig was clearly an excellent representative of the sport with an impressive list of finishes over the past 4 years. It is hard to imagine your grief and I pray that you find comfort in knowing he will have eternal life. Our thoughts are with you and his spirit to ride will not soon be forgotten.

[The Mad Haderer]

absolutely unfortunate news to hear from afar... thoughts are with all those who knew this young man who gave more than everything doing what he loved! We should all be so lucky when our time comes!

good on Mike/MSC coordinators to cancel the event out of respect for craig/family. I wish there was something profound or enlightening I could say in his situation but as I'm sure no one really prepared for it happening eh only thing to say is that we are all terribly sorry and hope that no-one else has to endure this....

 

[Uncle Mayhem]

Our hearts are heavy here in Angel Fire. Yesterday was the darkest day our series has seen. I can tell you all, that Craig loved to ride his bike, and he was a very pleasant young man to be around. We are all trying to get on our bikes today and race DH. Shred in peace Craig.
