I’m rarely lost for words, especially the written kind, but I find myself
pretty lost right now. Like many of you, I was there on Sunday, where a young
man lost his life. Tragedies of this magnitude rarely hit our sport and
our lives at all.
First of all, my love, thoughts, and condolences to Brayden’s family, Ash,
Corrine, Damon and Ellie, all his friends and family, and the Queensland Moto
community.
I never met Brayden and didn’t know much about him, though the outpouring
of love, grief, thoughts, words, and memories since Sunday’s tragedy has made me feel like I know him at least a little. I can sure tell that he was a great
young man who really grabbed life’s opportunities and made the most of them.
So many beautiful words written this week, pictures shared, videos, and a tip
of the hat to Trent for replaying show 23, featuring Brayden Co-hosting with him
and Nic. Brayden’s confident, happy, and polite personality is very much
apparent. If you’re reading this then you’re a Moto Limited fan and have
probably already listened, but maybe share that bit of Brayden with others. I’ll
be listening to it a few times.
The Motocross community, broader Motorsports community, and Aussies by
our very nature are a supportive bunch, willing to help others, and the worse
things get, the more helping hands are raised. Take those helpful hands.
Grief is something I know way too much about. Trust me when I say to lean on
each other for support, talk, talk a lot, talk to the ones who aren’t talking,
especially those of you thinking you need to be tough, let it out, talk to the ones who don’t know what to say, talk to the young ones. And don’t forget to
listen.
Ride in Peace Brayden
