WE LOST A BMX LEGEND...

R.I.P. Scot Breithaupt (O.M.)...one of the true innovators and pioneers of the sport.

Any info about what happened, illness, accident...? I couldn't find anything online yet about how he passed.

Scot had a pretty rough life these last few years. He had been battling cancer for about 7 years and was living in an RV by the beach for a while. The news reported that his body had been found in a tent in a vacant lot in Indio, CA today and they were unsure how long he'd been there...very sad.

That is truly sad, at least he is not suffering anymore. Looking at the later pics of him I wondered if he was battling illness.

RIP sir. May God welcome you into His kingdom.

RIP OM. You were the reason my childhood was so awesome! You will be missed by thousands of your friends and millions of your fans.
