Very sad. He died doing what he loved though. Better than rotting in a hospital with cancer. Still, gone too soon. May GOD bless him and his family.

RIP young man and my prayers for the parents and family. God bless.

The motocross community throught the country is a tight knit group of great families . We all share the same fears , hopes and dreams to excell in maybe the most challenging motorsport there is. This young man lived to chase his dream knowing the possibilies that could happen. Prayers to his family for getting thru this loss. And kudos to them for letting him chase his dream . RIP young man .

this is my biggest worry with my son racing. God bless this family

My friends son died a few years back. Fellow competitors of mine have been paralyzed. motorcycles tempt fate every time you get on one. God speed to all those riders out there. My deep condolences to his family. He'll be clearing the gnarly triples in Heaven, scrubbing his pegs on take off.

Rest easy bud. Sending prayers and condolences to the friends and family from Wisconsin 🙏🏻✊🏻😇

So sad prayers 🙏

O my heart hurts for his family. As a moto mom and wife, this is heart breaking. Praying for the family.

Sending prayers

Awe man. He is with his family in spirit ❤️ damn it..

RIP and sincere condolences to the family.

As a former racer who went out with a major knee injury I decided to stop motocross racing and get a full cage. I Wouldn't trade it for the world racing a bike was the greatest thrill. We all know you can get hurt, paralyzed or killed BUT WE all assume it will be the other guy. As they say when you push the limits sometimes the limits push back. RIP dirt brother.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends.🙏

I pray that God give your family strength and some sense of peace through this tragedy. 🙏🏼

I raced at southwick and witnessed some bad crashes. Its part of the sport unfortunately. Prayers for this family

God Speed young man

started going to Southwick in 1979 its heaven for a moto crosser.. made it to expert along with john Dowd Ryans father, met so many great people it was a home away from home for me and many, I'm saddened to hear this !! anyone who rides dirt bikes never cares about the danger when something is as fun as this, I'm terribly sorry this happen I feel I know these people its a family sport where a passion is shared .Ifeel so helpless wish I could do something.

Wow just learning of this, So incredibly sorry to his family as our sport is relentless, J days are NOT normal motocross races, their a hybrid of Woods Races and MX, there are no trees on mx tracks, but the JDay woods portion does incorporate them. Praying for comfort during this hard time

It sucks but kid died doing what he loved Rip buddy before u go work in morning the road is most dangerous place

I will see my son this weekend, and I will not take advantage of hugging him and telling him I love him. For respect of your Son Passing away in the sport we all love. It's so very sad to think of this happening last weekend and to know I haven't even said hi over the phone, texting in the past week. I will not take advantage again, my hugs and prayers with my Son will be in memories of your Son. So sorry for your loss and if our paths ever cross, we have hugs for you both. It won't be the same, but from us to you we care about our moto families near and far. Prayers for your time going through this pain and prayers your memories keep growing of your Son and the Joy that God gave you through your Son.

Sad❤

Very sad, lots of people hit trees and the tree doesn't move, even little trees. At first I thought it was a family member John Dowd, who like Doug Henry have many laps on the Southwick track. It's an amazing track with lots of history.

RIP bud

It is sad when anyone dies to an accident while riding their dirt bike. I have lost 2 of my best friends this way. What is really disappointing is the media with this title. Wish the media would do better

Horrible. My son is 17 rising through the amateur rank. Speed on the bike increases significantly at this point and the risk factor is at a all time high. I'm always nervous and worried for him. Thoughts and prayers to the Dupont Family,

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

They should get rid of the trees around that track.

RIP Noah. 🙏

My condolences for the family! That being said we have to make the racing safe and it is possible. First of all he hit a tree. Simple! Move the track far enough away from trees or if they are near a tree make sure it’s a turn or a low speed area. Helmets should also be twice as large and they would make a difference

There is no better way to go,then to die doing what you luv to do! R.I.P. Kid! Braaps! Non of us are getting out of here alive..only a select few go doing what they luv to do!

The wick is a rough track, rip.

RIDE IN PEACE, NOAH!

🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

With only a good heart, I hope it was quick for him & hope he passed doing what he loved! For the parents; if you believe in God, then it is obvious that God needs him now more than ever. If you do not, then I hope you can find peace within your vast memories of him. He was real & think of only the beauty he had brought or shared within this world. From anything, to a subtle smile he once cracked to even a life lesson he had taught unknowingly to you or anyone else in this realm of a place we call life. If you look hard enough he is still with you.

My heart & prayers go out to the family & friends of this sport.Please LOVE YOUR CHILDREN and the Creator of all things, and all things will work together for good for those who love the Lord. My Son will be there to welcome your RACER 💖🏁🥅🏁🤗🤗🤗.Bubba RACED CNC SERIES❤

Better than getting run over by a bus or being the victim of a crime. Luckily it's rare enough it makes the news when someone dies. RIP

maybe its time to modify the track, keep it a challenge, but remove obstacles too close or reroute.

God damn that shit hits hard. Rip

cut down all the trees and try to keep your tracks clear of dozers and water trucks and fence posts those 4 things are littered around most tracks.

MX bikes have gotten too powerful. Tracks have too many double jumps.

Seems we are losing a lot of kids this year more then normal just here in southeast Texas we’ve lost two in last year one in January one a few weeks ago

So, did he lose the race?

The fact they dont put blockades near trees and turns etc. Is juat wild

From what that kid said happened to his dad, I guess he hit a tree, which is absolutely ridiculous. Why the hell are there trees and poles everywhere alongside this track?!! They’re all saying, “These things happen, there’s always a risk.” But this was completely avoidable! This track is unsafe. I have never seen a pro track lined with immovable objects, because that would be completely crazy and asking for trouble.

Tracks could be alot safer. You can't ride around most of them unless you are hauling ass. Makes it difficult for new people wanting to get into the sport. Should be able go around track slow without endowing rolling over a jump because they want to save on dirt on the back side of the take off.

@@hung8969 I was speaking on MX tracks in general. I know what South Wick is. For example BMX tracks have Pro sections that are knarly but you can still roll through them going slow. Just about every track I go to you have to haul ass or you will crash. I've been riding for years. But when new people start you can't even learn the track cause you have to send it to go around it. You really cant work your way into it. Kinda like BMX trail jumps. You either send it and land it or you eat shit.

Southwick is actually known for the fact of having so little jumps if any really and just using the natural landscape. Like someone previously stated it was jday so pretty good chance wasn't even on the track and some random spot in the woods. Motocross is dangerous and accidents happen even in the simplest of sports, immediately throwing blame at the tracks which you pretty much deemed to be all unsafe by purposeful design , all throughout the world is disgusting and why there is so little places to ride today. Shit happens and motocross is dangerous immediately tossing blame on unfit tracks with absolutely no info regarding this incident and claiming to be a member of the sport is foul af and might wanna consider something else. Sorry if this sounds extreme but when shit like this happens our community needs to come together not frivolously tossing blame. Unacceptable bro

😮😢❤❤🎉 CONDOLENCES to the DuPont family and friends and may this young warrior RIP until we meet again. 🙏🏻🙏🏾

I never liked how motocross tracks have soo many wooden stakes and whatnot along the track...

I’m sorry but moto or super there shouldn’t be things outside the track boundaries that are natural that could take your life. I love the sport and I am well aware of the risks we all take. But these are just some really painful Things to hear. There shouldn’t even be a tree near that track. This sport will suffer for along time though. We have many evolutions to go as a sport to make prime time like baseball, football or basketball
