Last year on April 29, 2011 Jeff Ox Kargola passed away after a tragic accident on his last ride in San Felipe, Mexico, on the second day of the Rip To The Tip. Today is the one year anniversary of Jeff’s passing. Ox is the kind of friend anyone would want to have. OX led an amazing life, surrounded by people who he inspired and touched in so many different ways. He was a warm-hearted, funny, and such a humble person who cared so much for his friends, family and fans. Ox was on top of his game; one of the greatest and most multitalented athletes ever known. He was never one to back down from any challenge life had to offer him–on or off the track, surfing, Baja racing or truck racing.
Close friends, family members, and riders from the Rip To The Tip made the drive South earlier this week to build a memorial for Jeff at the crash site, just North of San Felipe. The Desert Assassins crew did an amazing job building this 30 foot wide, 2 foot tall structure that spells out OX.
On Friday we dedicated the memorial and shared thoughts and stories of our brother. It was very emotional, yet therapeutic being at that place 1 year later and leaving something positive that will be there for anyone to visit for years to come.
After the dedication, the crew rode to Mike’s Sky Rancho, following some of the same route that Jeff rode on his last day, and stayed at Mike’s where Jeff spend his last night. Jeff’s “5 drink minimum” rule was strictly enforced that night as everyone celebrated his life in the place he loved so much…Baja.
