“We live in a time where you can put your lifestyle first. Nobody wants to be defined by their job. Why not make your lifestyle your job?” Luke ‘The Dingo’ Trembath was energy personified—a wild spirit who turned every room, every event, every moment into something unforgettable. He wasn’t just a snowboarder or a host; he was the pulse of action sports, the guy who made life louder, funnier, and more electric. And if anyone understood that energy, it was Rob Gronkowski. The two were more than friends—they were kindred spirits, built for big moments and even bigger laughs. But now, for the first time, Gronk is facing a moment without him. Dingo is gone, and the world feels quieter.

The larger-than-life former Patriots and Bucs TE took to social media with a heavy heart, mourning the loss of his good friend, The Dingo. Authorities have yet to reveal the cause of death. For Gronk, he was more than just a Monster Energy teammate. He was family. “You’re gonna be missed big time @thedingoinsnow,” Gronk wrote on Instagram story. “Always brought the juice and will forever be a beast.”

Born on January 9, 1986, in Mount Martha, a quiet suburb of Melbourne, Australia, Trembath didn’t have the typical snowboarder’s upbringing. Surfboards, maybe. But snow? That was different. That was a dream.

Dingo carved up the slopes in Australia as a kid. He was only 13. Then, because of his love for snow and the board, he made a name for himself in the U.S. by 14. His mother uprooted everything to help him chase his dream, and by 17, he was a pro with his own brand, Grenade Gloves.

Dingo was the glue in action sports, a spirited personality who lit up every room. “Words cannot describe the joy this guy brought to every gathering,” Tony Hawk shared, capturing the sentiment felt across the community. You see, he was more than a snowboarding icon; he was a catalyst for unforgettable experiences. His infectious energy and unique ability to connect with people left an indelible mark on everyone he encountered. As Monster Energy poignantly expressed, “He wasn’t just part of our team; he was the heartbeat of our family.” 

And one of these connections was Rob.

Gronkowski and Dingo’s bond went beyond just Monster Energy sponsorships and wild interviews. Gronk and Dingo, two guys who refused to let life be boring, were cut out of the same cloth. When Gronk signed his multi-year deal with Monster back in 2015, it wasn’t just about slapping a logo on a helmet. It was a perfect match. Monster was loud, bold, and unpredictable. So was Gronk. And so was Dingo.

But now, Gronk finds himself in unfamiliar territory—dealing with the loss of a friend who felt invincible. The guy who could turn any moment into an all-time memory is gone, and the impact is being felt across the sports world. Monster Energy called him “the heartbeat of our family.” Gronk called him “a good man.” And for those who knew him, both are true.

The outpouring of tributes says it all. Friends, fellow athletes, and legends alike mourn his passing, each recalling his infectious energy and massive heart. “The void you leave behind cannot be filled,” Hawk added. Whether on the mic or the mountain, Dingo’s spirit was undeniable. And now, the action sports world feels just a little quieter.

RIP, Dingo. We will miss you terribly.

Remembering Rob Gronkowski and Dingo’s post-SB win chat

When Rob Gronkowski sat down with his longtime buddy Luke ‘The Dingo’ Trembath on Monster Energy’s UNLEASHED podcast on July 12, 2021, you knew it was going to be electric. This wasn’t just another interview. It was two larger-than-life personalities chopping it up, celebrating victories, and sharing moments that went beyond the game.

Gronk, fresh off another Super Bowl win with the Bucs, had plenty to say about life, football, and—of course—the Monster lifestyle. Never one to shy away from the big stage, the TE kept it real about what comes next after winning it all. “Now that we won it, it’s going to be expected this year. We got the target on our back,” he said. No pressure, right?

“If we just go out there and do what we got to do, everything will take care of itself.” It’s that same mindset that made him one of the most dominant security blankets on the gridiron. No overthinking—just show up and make plays.

That conversation, though? Yeah, it wasn’t just about football, though.

Gronk and Dingo’s friendship… bond… the two didn’t need any much build-up. From wild Daytona 500 moments with Monster Energy to the time Gronk set a Guinness World Record by catching a football dropped from 600 feet out of a helicopter—because, of course, he did—their stories weren’t just entertaining. They were a reminder that life isn’t just about the wins. It’s about the moments in between. The moments that can only be cherished through words like these.

Dingo is no more.

So, now, the conversation feels different. It’s not just nostalgia—it’s a reminder of the impact one person can have. And if there’s one thing Gronk knows, it’s that legends never truly leave us. They just leave behind stories worth telling.
