I can't believe that Steven Dinsdale, one of our sports better riders suddenly passes away and nobody seems to give a damn. Three messages of condolence is a bit piss poor for a bloke who did so much yet died so young. ::)

I raced against Steven in the Veterans class. He was a super fast rider as well as a great ambassador for the sport. I know he will be sadly missed up this way :'( Think I still in shock. I cann't think of anything to say. R.I.P Steve. Darcy

I was shocked when i got a call last night from a couple of old motocross mates about Steve's sudden passing.
Steve was a great guy, multiple Qld MX champ in the 80's and still very fit and fast and way too young to go. He will be sorely missed by many.
RIP Steve.

Can't believe it. John Hand, Steve, myself and a few others got the Gum Valley track back on board a few years back. He had been president of the Mackay MX club, never stood for bullshit and never got involved in it either.Superfast and just a great bloke. VMX really wasn't his thing but he appreciated our side of the sport and supported it in Mackay when a few thought it was a joke. Can someone explain what happened. I'm devastated!
R.I.P Steve, you will be hugely missed.

It was originally thought Steve suffered a heart attack but now there is talk of a brain aneurysm.

I too am shocked at Steve's sudden passing and it has taken a little while to sink in  . He was a year or two younger than me , which would have made him only 46 or 47. That is way too young to go . As Mackay is only 400km down the road from me, I got to line up on many motocross start lines with Steve . I can't say that I really raced with him much after the first corner , because mostly all I got to see was him disappearing into the distance. My condolences go out to his family and friends. R.I.P Steve.
