Last night Taylor Gregg AKA Mountainguy passed away. We were out riding dirt roads just having a ball. Taylor dropped a tire off the edge of the road and his EB rolled down an embankment. He was not wearing his harness and was ejected. The Bronco landed on top of him. There was nothing any of us could do and it was quick. Please wear your belts all the time. Even slow speeds! He was a great kid and loved EBs. He didn't post on here much, but I know a couple of you had met him. At the least, he passed doing what he loved. Love you Best Bronco buddy!

Man I hate to hear that. Sometimes you dont wear your seatbelt because you dont think your wheeling very hard. But anytime your out playing you should have it on.

Sad news.

So sorry to hear that. My prayers are with him and his family.



May angels him into Paradise; upon his arrival,may the martyrs receive him and lead him to the holy city of Jerusalem. May the ranks of angels receive him, and. with Lazarus, the poor man, may he have eternal rest.

Thanks for posting this evil I know how tough it can be. Prayers sent up for the family. I've been guilty of no seat belt when there was "no danger", I'll have something to think about now.

Taylor was 23. A girlfriend of 5 years. A dog of three years. Student at UGA in Forestry school. Great kid. Lived life to the fullest. The hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life was knocking on his parents door last night to tell them.

Very sad indeed. A lesson for us all. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family, and to you. We buried my best friend of 21 years yesterday after a 2 year battle with Cancer. I know all too well the feelings that you are experiencing right now. Faith, family, and friends are what get you through. Hang in there bud...

Sorry to hear about this, very tragic and at such a young age. I usually don't drive anywhere with out seat belts. Our family was in a bad car wreck about 2 years ago, we flipped out 02' Explorer down a 75 ft. embankment end over end. All 6 of us were in there and everybody had thier seat belts on. We all walked away with minor injuryies. Seat belts do save lives.

Terribly sorry to hear about what happened. Too young to have had that happen to him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones.
