Elliott was one of 20 to 30 members of the motorcycle group, Ruthless Ryderz, who were riding on the northbound 15 Freeway near Weirick Road just before 10 a.m., according to the California Highway Patrol.
The group was causing traffic woes on the freeway as members slowed and blocked motorists so that riders could perform illegal stunts on the freeway, CHP Sgt. Nathan Baer said in a statement.
As the group slowed traffic for their stunt show, Elliott stood up onto the seat of his 2014 Kawasaki motorcycle, the sergeant said.
Elliott, who was not holding onto the handlebars, lost control of his bike, tumbled off and landed on the road, Baer said.
Elliott suffered major head trauma even though he was wearing a helmet, the sergeant said.

I think we’re all responsible for doing what we can to reach out in the image of the Savior.
Doing less doesn’t elevate humanity. It brings humanity lower.
How do you say stupid in Spanish? El stupido.
Okay. Why are you telling me this?
I believe that you and I have already come to the conclusion that we disagree on certain aspects of Christianity and faith.
I don’t want to debate this issue.
Sometimes stupid does hurt, however briefly
That’s why they stated putting handlebars on them things
It’s L A man.
They don’t got no bottom rocker. They don’t neeed no steenking bottom rocker.
Went down once on a flattened beer can.

I’ve been in traffic on a major Atlanta highway when a big group of black motorcyclists started pulling this sort of nonsense. Here I am, going down the highway at 70 MPH, and some fool on a crotch rocket is doing wheelies 50 yards in front of me. Yeah, no thanks.
My give a damn on this one is non-existent, sorry. Perhaps he can be a bad example for others to encourage them to avoid similar behavior.
I am telling you what I am telling you, because you are telling me what you are telling me.
Is that a good enough answer?
You don’t want your point of view debated. Tough cookies. It will get debated anyhow. Now if you want to withdraw from it, fine.
I’m not sure. Remember, the meanest thug in the New York motorcycle gang beating of the Asian family turned out to be a cop.
Thank you, Sgt. Baer. I never would have imagined that with him standing on the seat, he wouldn’t have been holding the handlebars. Thanks again for the clarification.
I’ve been riding for 53 years and I can say unequivocally that I HATE these kinds of people. They make it harder on those of us who aren’t total @ssholes. Maybe this fool’s demise will act as a lesson for others. Unlikely but at least there’s one less squid out there.
Cleaning the gene pool...
And this is precisely why. You can’t debate a point without being insulting. I don’t need the aggravation.
I can’t help if you are hyper sensitive.
YEAH; but somebody out there is saying thank GOD for the organ donors.
