Re: RC: RE: Maktoum Death

Oh Wolfgang
This makes me sooo sad. We met him at the ROC ride in Utah--- he loved
one of my Explodent daughters and was riding her around with my daughter
Stacie. He made the comment to Stacie that he would love to see her
compete at a ROC with him someday and they could ride together. He was
VERY charming, VERY sweet and even "disco'd" with my kids and myself the
night of the ROC party. Not pretentious at all, he was a very nice young
man. It is a loss to the sport as well as his friends and family.
