"But it's important to remember that there's more than what meets the eye. What happens on the bike is only part of the equation and often what happens off of it isn't always quite as glamorous. In his latest video project Buried Alive Jaxson Riddle gives us a glimpse into his personal life, sharing insights about his struggles with grief and mental health after the loss of his dad in 2020."
"Grief swallows you whole and takes your whole world with it. As someone who has unfortunately been in the position of losing both of my parents, I can only really describe the feeling of living in a world without them, like living in a world without a sun. It's surreal, it's dark, and it's the type of thing that simply doesn't make sense - and frankly never will."
Jaxson Riddle is a freeride rider known for moto-inspired tricks and a distinctive, unapologetic style on the bike. His video project Buried Alive provides a look into his personal life, revealing his struggle with grief and mental health after his father's 2020 death. Grief is described as an overwhelming force that fundamentally changes a person and can swallow one's world. One perspective compares living without lost parents to living in a world without a sun—surreal, dark, and senseless. The experience included suicidal thoughts and immense emotional toll. Despite persistent heaviness, strength and capacity to carry grief can grow, and the message emphasizes that grieving individuals are not alone.
