Just seen that one-time grit hero Toby Benham – 'Lucky Chance' – was killed yesterday in the Blue Mountains.

sad times - mental that it happened at the same place as his previous serious injury

Was it Toby who was the first to solo Soul Doubt at Froggatt? Do I remember seeing a vid of that somewhere?

[ashtond6]

yep I think in hard XS - its online somewhere

What a shame, his bit in HXS was amazing.

Agreed I love that piece of footage of Soul Doubt. The guy was a total natural. Quick repeat of Harder Faster was really impressive too.
V sad news.
