::)flags might be a good idea if you were riding on property... not sooo busy. Kinda like hunting, you only allow so many people on your property at one time and they always wear hunting gear(bright orange) to be seen at a distance and not be mistaken for a deer. You start using flags people come up with all kinds of poles to hold them. This could cause impalement and death. Safety starts with gear. I'm sure after this tragedy we will all make adjustment before riding again.Be safe,ride hard,have fun....   oh the friend of Timmy's is J.C. and I just found out he also knows Jeremy

  Thanks to all those you have responded since I posted this AM. Jeremy is a good kid you does need our prayers to move forward. School is almost out for the year and we all will be spending alot more time riding. I would like to see alot more helmets on those ATV riders(my kids included)to prevent more tragedies such as this. It could have been my son .the last time riding he was almost hit by a race quad which cut right in front off me with my son to my left, the kid almost took him out. Of course it would have been the others fault for an accident but at that time my son was not wearing a helmet. My heart still pounds when I think of that day. My son just told me he is always going to wear his helmet no matter where he is. Life is to short. Stay safe, ride hard, have fun. Our prayers to both families.

Mom had asked me to write this. As a parent who goes to L-cross, Ockechobee, & c&r with 2 chrildren & their friends I have seen a lot of crazy-ness. I have never been to PlantBamboo. Jeremy's father told me last Thursday they were going & how great it is. Room to ride, cost ect,... We met Jeremy the 16 y/o & his family over a year ago. Helmets are seen mostly on the younger riders, but Jeremy always wears one while riding his bike & does not ride like a maniac. He is very conciderate kid with a big heart who got scared as anyone his age would have. I have talked to my own 15 y/o boy & he dosen't know what he would have done but he does now. We all seem to learn from someone's tragidy. Security told him to go back to his camp which is what he did. Jeremy had asked to go for one last ride while the family finished loading up for the day. ACCIDENTS happen!!!! It's a sad for all involved but whats sader is the statements & rumors I have read here. My daughters best friends boyfriend has been timmy's best friend since he was 9 y/o. Did anyone see the movie Sunday "Crossroads"? A real story about forgiveness. Instead of ruining this kids life for street racing which caused the death of a mother (wife) & daughter (sister) the family turned his stroy into something positive & to this day ( after court order completed) they still talk to other teens at schools all over the country. It has helped this kid with his own healing. Don't you think it will take a while for Jeremy to get past this awful tragidy? Jeremy we support you as your sister does. And for timmy R.I.P. God be with but families& friends
