Sad, doesn't really say in the article if he was a regular mtb'er. Still condolences to his family

Absolutely, prayers no matter if he was a mtb'r or not. Seems like many members of our community have been hit hard with grief lately.

Another MTB related death so close together. Sounds like a great guy and that his life was full of adventure. We should all be so fortunate to live that way. Condolences.

Didn't someone post a video of that road recently?

It's commonly referred to as "The World's Most Dangerous Road"

Very sad.
