Saturday morning, 8am March 25 2006. your outside working on your bikes to get ready for that good ol day of riding all day and same with sunday. Your there happy as can be when the phone rings you pick it up and right away you know something isnt right just by the tone of their voice. On the other line is my friend that lives by my old house and he says to me "did you hear what had happen this morning?" and i say no and he says Colby Dawson died this morning. Right away im speechless and dont know how to react. My best buddy that i grew up with taught me everything i needed to know about riding and racing dirt bikes was gone like that!

What happen was he flipped his truck coming home from a bbq because of a cell phone that he had dropped and went down to reach for it and lost control of his 2004 F250 diesel and did a 180 across the road and flipped upside down on the drivers side crushing him to death. Colby Dawson was just on the verge of turning pro in California. but he was not able to do that. He was 19 and one of the greatest people you could know, he was a friend a brother and a son and most of all an idol to me that i will never forget. His number was 301 so i am now 301 and going to ride hard with it in his memory.

R.I.P. Colby Lee Dawson your in our hearts forever!
