Scot Breithaupt, who was rightfully dubbed the “Godfather of BMX,” was found dead in a vacant lot in Indio, CA., over the holiday weekend.
Breithaupt, 57, who was a member of the BMX Hall OF Fame and helped bring bicycle motocross to the masses, was discovered lifeless in a tent on a vacant lot.
Officials are investigating the death but say foul play does not seem to be in play.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Scot’s fans, family and friends at this difficult time.
