Despite the criticism he received on social media, rider Rico Akmad, also known as ‘Recs’ in the rider community, still gained support from his colleagues.
On his Facebook page, Akmad received well-wishes from his friends after he was hospitalized for doing a dangerous stunt along the Marilaque Highway in Rizal, which resulted in the loss of one life and multiple injuries.
“Pagaling ka Recs Akmad,” some of his friends posted on the rider’s timeline.
It can be recalled that Akmad was being blamed for not stopping his dangerous stunt despite the approaching curve, which resulted in him losing control and sideswiping the Moto vlogger John Louie “Motopush” Arguelles.
Known for his motorcycle stunts
Even in the past, Akmad was already known to the people visiting Marilaque as he was often doing motorcycle stunts every time he got a chance.
In his past post, he talked about cornering in the sharp curves of Marilaque and also doing the Superman stunt, which eventually resulted in the unfortunate incident.
“Hindi talaga maka banking ng sagad pag naka rim set at lowerd kaya sumasayad pero sumasabay parin naka superman pa [laugh and evil emoji]” he said.
Akmad reportedly faced multiple charges that may cost him a lot of money.
