  1. When under trial, let no one say: “I am being tried by God.” For with evil things God cannot be tried, nor does he himself try anyone. (James 1:13). This tragedy of having lost Moreno is “because time and unforeseen occurrence befall us all.” (Eccl. 9:11) May we now join in sharing comfort and strength through theses difficult moments with Moreno’s family. And may the Almighty God of comfort give you endurance and peace knowing that we soon will be with our loved ones together in the “new world.” (Isa. 65:17)

  2. R.I.P sobrino, but we find comfort in the word of God, his promise is to bring all those who are asleep in death to life (John 5:28, 29) My deepest condolences to the Rivera family and his love ones.

    Poncho, you are a sorry excuse of a human.

  3. Jason was a beautiful man who pushed for that adrenaline rush. I didn’t have the privilege to know him for a long time, but I cherish every single conversation we’ve had. He wasn’t a danger to others in the road. Cant believe there are people out there praising his death like if he was the devil or something. Shame on you! He just went out of his comfort zone. Unfortunately it didn’t end well. It was an accident that costed his life. Every day is a gamble. At least it ended with something he was passionate about. I can still see that kool aid smile. Rest In Peace Jason you left us too soon. You’ll never be forgotten.

  4. Jason was a young, beautiful, intelligent and charismatic person. As far as I know everyone he met liked him, including me. What a future he would have had. My sincerest condolences to his family and friends. Godspeed to him.
    Maybe we can all agree this is a terrible tragedy and a great loss. Let’s honor him by sharing his story in the hope that we might prevent this from happening again. We can have a long enjoyable riding experience or a short tragic one. Keep each other safe, that’s what riders do.

  5. I think if people have some negative comments to say they should at least show there face. That’s was friend that died in that crash he was a great person to every one. It takes one little mistake to make a big accident all humans make mistakes even professionals do to. My prayers go to his family .

    • MAKE A MISTAKE ON YOUR OWN TIME AND ON YOUR OWN PRIVATE ROAD. TOO MANY HAVE MADE SPEED MISTAKES IN THE LAST 8 MONTHS AND 11 INNOCENT PEOPLE HAVE DIED.

  6. a risk taker has been removed from our streets by the will of god. he was a risk taker that endangered the lives of the innocent. he died so that others may live. thanks be to god that our children did not die and their chances of survival have been increased. just look at the many who have died because of those who speed. hence may god stop those who illegally speed, those risk takers, may god destroy them all now and at the hour of death, amen

    • Your concept of God is way off. if he killed people based upon their actions and the safety of others, then why was Hitler not killed before he took all the innocent lives. Seeing that you have no common sense let me fill you in. Motorcycle accidents can be caused by a number of things pine needles on the road, wet pavement, sand or gravel can make a bike slip under a rider. The story no where says he was riding wrecklessly just that he crossed the line. Your very lucky God dosent kill for stupid comments who knows how long you would have been gone by now.

      • MAKE A MISTAKE ON YOUR OWN TIME AND ON YOUR OWN PRIVATE ROAD. TOO MANY HAVE MADE SPEED MISTAKES IN THE LAST 8 MONTHS AND 11 INNOCENT PEOPLE HAVE DIED.

      • no one knows how god really operates. for 1000 of years many have written to try to tell us how he operates, the bible etc but many interpretations on same verse,you must find your own answers after many hours of study. hitler possibly a way to remove millions of people who would have thwarted god’s plan a speeding up of the process rather then taking 100 years god did it in 2 years could have been jews who would have prevented the state of isreal. not all jews love israel

    • Keep ur commets to ur self i knew this guy for a long time and had much love for him ..

  7. … most of us began at a tender age, mastering BMX, progressing through mini-bikes, on to 125s and 250s before finalizing our decision, staying on two wheels or cut-and-run, making the transition to 4-wheel motorsport. Standing rule, once in 4-wheel motorsport, there is no going back. All of this had to be done, by our freshman year in high school. No posterity scared to arrogant, self-important, button pushing gen-X, gen-Y, and millennials, their whole lives spent mollycoddled by helicopter moms tethering them to their handhelds, who’ve never known problem solving without a computer, went straight from their 486s and i-phones, to 185 mph sport bikes. Terrific with personal electronics, and social media expression on their beloved Twitter and Facebook, these people constitute the scourge of our nation’s highways –

  8. Unfortunately Jason was riding above his skill level, he was with the group of riders who told him not to try and stay with the more experience faster Riders, not only once but several times he was told. The signs were all there, it was only a matter of time. Jason was taking turns way too fast and passing other riders. The turn that he went into is a gradual sweeping right hand turn, there’s no gravel it’s a clean area, we’ve taking it hundreds of times, unfortunately Jason took the turn way too fast and too wide, he was already in the opposing Lane of traffic when is foot Peg on the right side caught the asphalt, that’s when Jason bike flip sending him off the bike and into the guardrail. Unfortunately, there was nothing mechanically wrong with his bike he didn’t have a blowout, didn’t have a part come off, didn’t lose a sprocket, he was just riding above his skill level. I just hope that we can all learn from this tragic event, don’t ride past your skill level, ride where you feel safe and don’t put yourself and others in danger.

  9. his bike was built for speed and death. and he knew it. everyday was a gamble. and all who loved him knew that this day could come and it did. his love one’s worst nightmare came true. his moment before impact may have been “oh god please, no not me!”

  10. how many people have to die before they stop riding and driving like they own the road?

    • @so sad, where in the article did it say that he was “driving like [he] owned the road?” You jump to a conclusion that is not supported by the article. Sure, he may have driving unsafely, but it also could have been a variety of other things as well. Lots of people get killed or injured driving cars every day and they aren’t all driving like they own the road… Have some sympathy for the deceased individual, and his family, rather than jumping to disparaging comments.

    • He wasn’t driving like he own the rode he was my dear friend who lost his life be respectful you wanker he was simply enjoying the ride who lost control of his motorcycle possibly from gravel in the rode
