    RIP Doug Coombs...

    Unhappy

    I am stunned and heart broken. I learned so much from this person. I read everything he had written. Followed the stuff he bagged before anybody else even thought of it.

    Words can't describe how sick/empty that makes me feel - and I didn't even know the guy.

    So much more than just any old ripper, Doug was one who has done nothing but focus on progressing and giving to the sport we all love. A dedicated father and husband, too. A little piece of our community died with him today.

    I hate hearing things like this. Just goes to show that nature can overcome even the most careful of it's enthusiasts. Rest in Peace Mr. Coombs.
    Believe.
