So today westracing and the moto community lost an OG, a legend in his own right, a great racer and coach and mentor, and one of the original freestyle guys.......Jake "Turtle" Wikoff....passed today unfortunately......outside of Hollister Ca.....in a car accident.
Godspeed and rest in peace, I have nothing but love for u btother you will truly be missed... westracing would've never been half of what it is or was without you, and you gave selflessly to soo many kids and were such an amazing coach and mentor to them as well, the impact of this will be felt for a longtime to come......love u brother.....now we can wear black for you....
Your brother, Richie

I was going to post about this if it hadn't already been posted. I grew up in the same area as Jake, and we had many memories together over the years. Though we hadlnt spoke much in the last five or so years, this came as terrible news. Thanks for posting richie Jake we will all miss you, rest in peace.

We are very thankful to know jake. He was a great coach for dalton taking time and care to educate my boy. He always had a great time when he was over there taking good lessons to the track. The fox pants that say "turtle" will be a silent reminder of him and will remember him for all his good work. Thanx jake. R.I.P

Terrible news. I met Jake years ago at Mustang and liked him a lot, and I know he was a great friend to many in our area. Godspeed.

R.I.P. homie... Jake was a great guy, who always told it like it was. Although there were some things him and I didn't see eye to eye on, he was a great friend to me and always believed in me. A guy who truly loved dirt bikes.
You will be missed, Godspeed turtle
