Ross Campbell RIP
« on: July 09, 2017, 11:54:35 am »
With great sadness I found out today that Rossco has passed away, we had spoken quite a few times about failing bodies of late but didn’t realize his end was so close and way too soon.
He was always up for a good old fashioned shit stir and was a lot of fun, his banter will be sorely missed.

This has hit pretty close to home. After loosing a younger brother, I got back into the MX scene. Love it. Ride while you can, because one day you will want to jump on a bike, but won't physically be able to. I raise my cup to Roscoe...at least he did what he could until the end..respect...
Cheers
