RG3’s amateur sensation, Tanner Krahenbuhl, was 16-years-old and on top of his game. Krahenbuhl rode under the prestigious Honda of Houston tent and, in 2009, was producing a lot of impressive finishes at the amateur Nationals. Tanner finished second overall at the Oak Hill Amateur National in the 450 Open Non-Pro division and 9th in the 450 Four-Stroke Non-Pro class. Sadly, though, RG3 deeply regrets to inform you that Tanner was involved in a serious traffic accident shortly after racing at Powder Mountain Raceway this weekend and, unfortunately, lost his life in the accident. All of us at RG3 Suspension send our deepest sympathy, prayers, and condolences to the Krahenbuhl family! We’ll never forget you, Tanner! You’ll be sorely missed, pal! Keep on blasting berms up there for us!
