Thoughts and prayers go out to Rick and his family. I never got to know him, talked to him a couple of times, seemed like a great guy. I do know he was an ICON in this sport and will be missed!

I can't believe this is even real.... Rick was an awesome person. He was never the type to brag or be cocky, even though he had every right to be. Rick was an amazing guy, both on the race course and off. Had the opportunity to purchase a sled from him last year, I'm so thankful we did because we had the opportunity to get to know him a little. He has been a hero to both of us, as well as an inspiration. I know that he is looking down on all of us, and he wouldn't want us to be sad for him. He would want us to keep racing and riding and loving life just as he did. So here's to you Rick, you will be in our hearts forever. Our lives are forever changed because we knew you.
