i find it very strange that both steve urwin and peter brock died doing the things they are considered to be legends at. the only thing to be said is that he died doing what he loved, as did steve. It kind of helps a little i think.

very sad!!!

What a terrible week...

Hope Brocky and Steve see each other on the otherside and teach one another a few of their own tricks.
