RIP Kenny Anderson aka Iceman

rojoracing53 · March 11th, 2013, 03:15 PM

Another very sad day for the motorcycle community as we have lost one of our young guns do what he loved.

Godspeed Iceman

From Kenny's farther

Kenny was declared brain dead today. He died doing what he loved, and what he excelled at. I have no doubt that there was nowhere on Earth Kenny would rather have been last weekend than at the racetrack, racing his motorcycles and hanging out with his friends. I'm sorry that all the thoughts and prayers we have received were not enough to bring him back, but please know that your love and comforting words really helped us get through the past week. Please keep Kenny The Iceman #12 in your thoughts. Live your lives to the fullest, and hug your children every day.

Terrible sad news.

My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

KawiKid860 · March 11th, 2013, 03:35 PM

Rest in peace. At least he was doing what he loved.

Alex · March 11th, 2013, 03:37 PM

Terrible. Hard to hold back tears, the kid was 12 years old for petes sake. It's just not fair.

Makes me think of others we've lost like Peter Lenz.

it is a sad day for moto racing.

rojoracing53 · March 11th, 2013, 03:40 PM

I feel greatful to have had the opertunity to bang handlebars with kenny on more then one ocation literally. His tenacity and competitiveness will be missed.

sharky nrk · March 11th, 2013, 04:04 PM

prayers to his family and a terrible loss

Trailerboy531 · March 11th, 2013, 04:08 PM

Man I've been watching his facebook since his crash and really rooting for him. This is so sad. He set the new 250 lap record at Buttonwillow just hours before his injury.

cookiebug79 · March 11th, 2013, 04:19 PM

Rest in peace Kenny

Zombiphone · March 11th, 2013, 06:12 PM

I only met him for the first time that morning at Buttonwillow when his father sat down at my table at breakfast just to chat since I was going to be in the same race as his son. He was so proud and Kenny was so happy to be there. He definitely left a powerful mark on the roadracing community. Truly heartbreaking. Godspeed, Kenny

Alex · March 11th, 2013, 07:34 PM

Was he on his 250 or 125 when he crashed? His father mentioned a tankslapper prior to him being thrown off of the bike.

Trailerboy531 · March 11th, 2013, 07:35 PM

A rented 250 from the FLAP boys.

Alex · March 11th, 2013, 07:42 PM

Ah, shoot. GaryJ went over a cliff after what he himself described as a tankslapper on his 250. No single piece of equipment guarantees any level of safety, but do any of the 250 crowd on track run dampers, or would it affect the handling feel to the extent that they aren't worth it?

oblivion007 · March 11th, 2013, 08:14 PM

RIP

lgk · March 11th, 2013, 08:21 PM

My deepest condolences to his family and friends.

I can't think of anybody riding a 250 with a damper on the track. I think I read somewhere that maybe @Rexbo tried it? They are generally considered useless on a 250 as a tank slapper is highly uncommon.

I ran one for a minute, didn't do much. I've had a bad tankslapper once, and it tends to happen in low-grip places like the rumble strips, in which case it means trouble anyway, and the damper wouldn't do much.

Condolences to the family, there will be an empty spot in their hearts forever.

Madman44 · March 11th, 2013, 11:09 PM

I know all too well the pain associated with losing someone so young. Strength to the family.

Really sad to hear...

CC Cowboy · March 12th, 2013, 08:31 AM

There is two ways to look at this;

be sad that is passed at such a young age, or

be happy he got to do all he did in such a short period of time. More than many do in a lifetime.

That, but.......

I know I'll be hugging my 7 year old extra tight today. Can't imaging the heart break the parents feel....

RIP Iceman
