Just heard that motocross legend Danny Magoo Chandler passed away. Danny was a local guy here who became an international MX superstar. Magoo was the wildest, most entertaining rider of all time as far as I am concerned and not many who had the chance to see him race would argue that point. Sadly he spent the last 20 years of his life as a paraplegic after a tragic supercross crash in Europe and ultimately died from complications from that injury. My best friends older brother was Magoo's factory wrench when he rode for Team Maico so I got to know Danny a little bit so it's very sad news indeed for me and the Nor Cal motocross community. Danny was a hero.
