Me too, he was my whole inspiration to get back on a bike after I was hit by a car while riding my bike summer of 2000. I read a story about how he was in a similar accident and he went back to riding.
I actually cried watching this... Because he was one of my childhood heroes and role models, and a huge part of my childhood. I proudly owned all his video games, toys, and I even had a poster of him on my wall. He was why I got into BMX. He even is the main reason why I love Slim Jim's! Lol Every year I'd watch the X Games, just so I could watch him blow my mind on his bike. How I could ever forget the year, when he competed on that beautiful gold bike...? Rest in peace Miracle Boy... Keep doing those flares I always loved watching growing up, with God...
I was lucky enough to get to ride with him at my local park once and he was the most nicest down to earth person and he didn't act like his shit didn't stink. You will always be missed RIP D. MIRRA
He was a great athlete and an inspirational childhood hero to me. RIP Dave Mirra, you were always my favorite biker at X Games and other competition events, you inspired me in my childhood to be great with BMX, jumping, building jumps, doing tricks and most of all riding, you will be missed.
R.I.P. Dave Mirra. He was an inspiring man who helped create the world of BMX that is today. This game especially was one of my favorites from my childhood and still stands as a great game as I still play it from time to time. A rush of memories come to mind hearing his name. It's beyond me how his life would end so soon to a self inflicted gunshot wound to the head. With all he has done you'd figure he'd have a lifetime of fulfillment. Apparently the illusion of success doesn't always mean you're happy. Much thoughts and prayers to his surviving wife and kids as this will be a massive burden for them to bear for the rest of their lives. Though I never knew you personally Dave, you were an idol and an inspiration to me and many many others. I hope you're decision was worth it. You will be greatly missed man.
Damn Dave MIRRA,you got me looking in the MIRRA, your death has me seeing things a little CLIRRA,the lord called you to his home,you're far away but your fans still feel NIRRYA.I shed a TIRRA thinking about you silently screaming for help but nobody could HIRRYA.You're a legend on your way to heaven so nothing left to FIRRA,god is waiting my friend,look for the sign that says welcome home Dave MIRRA.
RIP Dave, so sad that you are gone. To one of the greats of BMX! Dave was one of the main reason's i got into BMX back in the early 2000, he blew my mind with his style and pure skill. He seemed such a humble guy dedicated to his sport which he had mastered. RIP Miracle Boy
This is true. My mom grew up in upstate NY. Her brother was a childhood friend of Dave. She said that Dave would always push the limits. He would ride his bike up a tree. He had more broken bones then my mom's whole family combined. Unfortunately, her parents got a divorce and that was the end to my mom's brother's friendship with Dave. It is an honor to be "related" to Dave.
A BMX legend gone to damn soon!! Before I got diagnosed with pancreatic and liver cancer, I would ride everyday! If I wasn’t riding I was mixing music to DJ. R.I.P my dude!! God bless!! Teach those kids up in Heaven to shred it! You were and are a true role model.. Till I see you again my friend.. AJ
Dave was one of my childhood idols,if it wasn't thru my journey in bmx,I wouldn't be who I am today,it was people like this guy here that made me keep getting on my bike,he made it look SO easy,he made it cool to wear a visorless helmet,lol,still screws with my head that he went out like he did,I've watched this guy take some spills that would bring tears to an M.M.A fighters eyes only to jump right back up with that "fuck this" look he'd get , pain wouldn't stop this dude,I miss you Dave! Love you bro!
Such sad news, thoughts and prayers for his wife and kids. Like TJ said, you should always reach out to friends or family before taking your own life..
A huge piece of my childhood is gone....R.I.P. Dave Mirra.....You will always be a legend to me and many others
