The sport and industry rallied around this hero like only one rider before him: Stephen Murray. Empathy and opinion about this rider was so high at the time, had he chosen to take a stand on helmet use, his words and deeds might have altered the perception of the riders in his sport.<br /><br />I've seen it happen in motocross by a fallen icon after one viral video. The rider was David Bailey, and the safety device was the neck brace. A safety revolution and a cottage industry was launched on the words of the Little Professor, and today everyone who races dirt bikes is safer because of it. <br /><br />Mike Aitken, please use your star power to make a similar difference in BMX. I know it's not your responsibility, but given the circumstances, it might be your destiny. <br /><br />Thank you.Harold McGrutherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07484416978917151220noreply@blogger.com
