Me and my brother got into Dave Mira on PS1. I will never forget when he proceeded to setup a dirt jump and attempted a backflip. In the game it looked so easy, but in real life my brother ate crap... LOL
I liked this game quite a bit on Dreamcast but i LOVED Dave Mirra 2. At the time, the levels were incredibly huge including a Woodward level with all sorts of mini-parks and even hidden parks inside buildings. The level editor was good from what i remember. RIP Dave Mirra.
Dave Mirra 2 I remember getting frustrated with the first level, on an objective where you had to land?/grind on light/lamp posts, finished pretty much the rest of the game, before going back and finishing that objective.
I was a skateboarder growing up and not a BMXer but this game was arguably more influential to me. It came with the soundtrack CD which I listened to constantly (and was really good)
I’ve had the first version of this game for as long as I could remember, I grew up playing that game. I never even knew the Thrasher game existed, I would’ve played that just as much if not more
I grew up around a bunch of older teens who were super into bmx. They absolutely loved this game because you can create pretty much any trick you can think of
Thanks for reviewing this! The Mirra series is such an understated standout. Can't wait to see what you have to say about Woodward (imo one of the best action sport game maps of all time)
I remember in Dave Mirra 2 on GameCube, if you fell off your bike and ragdolled, you could hold Y to "grab" onto nearby ledges/surfaces with your limbs. Which respawned you at the top of where you were hanging rather than at the bottom where you would of fell to. Also you could do a huge air then press all the face buttons plus L+R to deliberately ragdoll.
@@HALberdier17 I remember playing the Demo on my brothers Dreamcast, as I recall it was one of the indoor skateparks at Woodward Camp, then I bought Dave Mirra 2 when I later bought a GameCube and Woodward Park was a level in that, with the indoor skatepark as a tiny fraction of that level.
Man.... I played the hell out of both Thrasher and Dave Mirra and I never noticed how similar they were. It seems painfully obvious now looking at them both.
i have fond memories of this game but it was one of those games you had to dial up to look up a walkthru or ask a friend. without that it was very easy to get stuck
That grinding four light posts challenge pissed me the fuck off in high school. Almost threw the game out. Lol.

I remember, when i'm playing two PS1 BMX games. Dave Mirra, and Matt Hoffman. DM was good, but the steering was weird. MH was much, much better game! It was like Tony Hawk, but on the bike.
The one thing I'll add to this is that the Maximum Remix is a more harder version of the original version, as I just notice that the Amateur challenges in this ver is the pro challenges in the original ver and the pro challenges is the hardcore challenges in the original but it also has some changes too. But yeah this is definitely better than the original ver but some might say it's challenging for those who has not played this type of game. Also I actually 100% completed the original one while this ver I am trying to complete it at the moment.
And I just now notice from your video is that the medal rounds in the original game is now a task type gameplay (I have not played those levels yet in the maximum remix ver)
Damn I remember playing the original when I was younger. Played it a year after it came out (2001) I was nine at the time and couldn't pass certain levels
Other game you could try out on the original Playstation are TJ Lavin's Ultimate BMX or Cool Boarders 2001. Both are kinda challenging, but TJ Lavin's was frustrating at some point.
Rad Rat missed that in this game you gain momentum and when ure in a halfpipe you jump a couple of times before you got enough air for more advanced tricks, you didnt need a better bike for that trick
I remember playing dave mirra on ps1 and i tell ya game wasnt too bad premise wise but the controls took time to get used to and the bugs where sometimes you do a jump and the rider bails mid air or you grind and the rider bails
watching this in 2020 i am wonering what Rad Rat would say too bmx streets pipe.. its on a bike, unpolished, buggy, difficult and basically an alpha. but the sensation i get when nailing a big combo or insane trick is only matched by early thps games and the skate series!! it still is on a bike... but i really can see the potential!
Crushed that Maximum Remix wouldn't get the Dreamcast touch.. man do I love how they re-used older levels too but even more challenges! And the new ones and new tunes were pretty too just very edited shortened Dave Mirra Dreamcast is a fucking riot though!!! They jus put the unmolested musics no censoring haa
BUT a super fuckup to Maximum Remix it's jus.. it costs four fucking blocks as much room for save as, Gran Turismo 2!? Not only that just the overwrite it makes you fucking wait.. stupid progression bar moves slowly all time
I put so many hours into this game every single time I broke a bone and I couldn't ride my bike I was inside playing this game you might have to get my surgery on my knee could not ride BMX for 6 months doctor said well I waited about 3 but yeah all I did was play this game crazy part I still do I downloaded it onto my Kindle and bought a Bluetooth controller still killing it
Wauw this is the only ps1 game that has ragdoll physics that i know of and to me its vry important especially in sports games.. Its just askes for it. Somerhing i always missed in tony hawks pro skater series.
It still sucks, that Dave Mirra passed away last year. So sad. :(
dave mirra freestlye bmx 2 was really good
Yep, its pretty similar to the first but they perfected it imo. A lot of the issues were dealt with in that game. Much more varied environments
one of my favorites
Will nvr forget that train track level with sublime playing
Yeah, idk where my copy went though
lol i just went back and played it after i made my comment, maaaybe "perfected" is a bit strong but it's still a better game than the first.
Shit, I'm not complaining! It got me hooked into dirt jumps at Woodward, and sublime at a very young age! 😎😎🤘🏻
Me and my brother got into Dave Mira on PS1. I will never forget when he proceeded to setup a dirt jump and attempted a backflip. In the game it looked so easy, but in real life my brother ate crap... LOL
Lol epic
dave mirra on the dreamcast was my life back then
Going to put my vote in for Wakeboarding Unleashed featuring Shaun Murray
That game sucks
We need a Skate 2 quality BMX title. Something that uses a good physics system to ground players, combined with a good trick system.
BMX Streets
Rest in piece Dave Mirra🚴♂️
Thrasher skate and destroy it was one of my all-time favourite games. I still hold faith that one day they will make a second skate an destroy
I liked this game quite a bit on Dreamcast but i LOVED Dave Mirra 2. At the time, the levels were incredibly huge including a Woodward level with all sorts of mini-parks and even hidden parks inside buildings. The level editor was good from what i remember. RIP Dave Mirra.
Dave Mirra 2 I remember getting frustrated with the first level, on an objective where you had to land?/grind on light/lamp posts, finished pretty much the rest of the game, before going back and finishing that objective.
I remember rancid, pennywise and deftones as part of soundtrack for this game
And Primer 55. Haha
My dad was playing Dave Mirra all the time, so he learned rancid maxwell murder bass solo
Funny cause I LOVE pennywise but greed was 1 of the few songs I didn't like
@@zgRemek all the dads that played bass all bought this game
@@Pottled_Benis I used to jam out to Introduction to Mayhem all the time back in the day. Actually not even that long ago lol
I loved this game so much. Never knew there was a remix. Great video bro :)
As a thps player this game was kinda challenge but once i figured it out it turned out to be a lot of fun
I was a skateboarder growing up and not a BMXer but this game was arguably more influential to me. It came with the soundtrack CD which I listened to constantly (and was really good)
Dave Mirra Freestlye BMX 1 and 2 were one of my all time favorite PS1/2 games! RIP Dave! Awesome memories!!
Still can't believe it's been 3 years since we lost Dave mirra.
i had fun with the thrasher game..the prewind and release tricks just took some time to master
I’ve had the first version of this game for as long as I could remember, I grew up playing that game. I never even knew the Thrasher game existed, I would’ve played that just as much if not more
That bass solo in maxwell murders though. Damn. Am I right?
I grew up around a bunch of older teens who were super into bmx. They absolutely loved this game because you can create pretty much any trick you can think of
The regular game was childhood, i love that game cause i love bmx, and now i realize that there's another edition WITH MORE LEVELS?! I'm so happy
Dave mirror was an amazing experience such a good game ,I still play them now
I liked this game a lot. It took some practice to get timing and flow down but ince you did it was really fun
Thanks for reviewing this! The Mirra series is such an understated standout. Can't wait to see what you have to say about Woodward (imo one of the best action sport game maps of all time)
Never really thought about why there was no Thrasher 2.
I honestly had fun playing this on my emulator. Would have loved it more had I appreciated it in its time. Great Review Rad rat!
I loved Dave mirra freestyle bmx on ps1
talking shit on dave mirra SMH this was our tony hawk. yall had 27 skate games let us get one broh
Hi Charlie!
I remember liking that Dave Mirra game when it came out, and liked the music at the time. Some of those tricks were aggravating though. RIP Dave
Dave mirra freestyle bmx was my childhood. Soundtrack was so good
I remember in Dave Mirra 2 on GameCube, if you fell off your bike and ragdolled, you could hold Y to "grab" onto nearby ledges/surfaces with your limbs. Which respawned you at the top of where you were hanging rather than at the bottom where you would of fell to. Also you could do a huge air then press all the face buttons plus L+R to deliberately ragdoll.
I still play this on Dreamcast. I'm shockingly good at it.
Cobra Kyle I still have the Dreamcast version.
@@HALberdier17 I remember playing the Demo on my brothers Dreamcast, as I recall it was one of the indoor skateparks at Woodward Camp, then I bought Dave Mirra 2 when I later bought a GameCube and Woodward Park was a level in that, with the indoor skatepark as a tiny fraction of that level.
No mention of the brilliant soundtrack? Mate, I still blast that shit!
I had Dave Mirra and it was actually really fun. It was about the same amount of fun as Matt Hoffman looking back.
Man.... I played the hell out of both Thrasher and Dave Mirra and I never noticed how similar they were.
It seems painfully obvious now looking at them both.
Very fun game.
It had Maxwell Murder and that´s pretty much all I needed to be happy when I played it back then
I’m gonna have to check it out, I remember playing Downhill Domination and that got me into bmx as a kid.
Really great game to be honest. I loved the amount of content they draw out of each level with the three levels of challenges.
Oh man, I just got up on my timeline that it is 4 years since we lost Mirra, and suddenly this comes up as recomended
nice! love your videos keep it up!
Great game review as always! I played a lot of matt hoffman´s pro bmx back then. I remember it to be pretty solid :D.
I remember buying Thrasher for like 3 bucks at EB Games in 03. Got it cause of the Rockstar Logo on it and was intrigued.
Wow had no idea they made Dave Mirra instead of thrasher 2. That’s insane however I did play this game like crazy. OST is awesome
It would be cool to see one of your review about BMX XXX, not a good game at all,but I'm looking forward seeing you talking about it. Awesome channel
Oh man, the nostalgia just punched me in the brain
I loved Dave mirra BMX so much. It's actually on par with skate for me I love it that much.
A modern BMX game would be amazing
This game looks fucking sick!
Thank you for the upload!
Instill have that remix cd in my house. It’s all scratched and covered in root beer though :(
This game introduced me to sublime. This soundtrack was amazing
I don't like them that much but it's the only track I really remember. I played way more THPS I guess
6:54 That's actually my biggest complaint about the Skate series...
Play Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2. They fixed a ton of the issues and it is a wonderful experience.
wow men i didnt knew that thanks! i used to love play trasher when i was young!
Riders Republic and BMX Streets (2017~) would blow your mind out, in regards to BMX physics.
once you get use to the controls you can do a lot of cool tricks
I loved this game played it for ages
holy shit, no wonder i loved the second one so much
The second one was even better. RIP Dave Mirra
You should review Rolling for PS2, a very good THPS like rollerblading game
This game was so tight!!!
LOVED this game
That soundtrack was pretty cool
360 One-footer Barspin Toboggan Backflip
i have fond memories of this game but it was one of those games you had to dial up to look up a walkthru or ask a friend.
without that it was very easy to get stuck
Tom Berry I remember having to dial up to look at cheats haha
i used to play dave mirra on ps1 all day everyday
I love this game so much. 2 was great too
That grinding four light posts challenge pissed me the fuck off in high school. Almost threw the game out. Lol.
I remember, when i'm playing two PS1 BMX games. Dave Mirra, and Matt Hoffman. DM was good, but the steering was weird. MH was much, much better game! It was like Tony Hawk, but on the bike.
RadRat, you NEED to review the second one. I personally need you to do that. How much money you need?
Add in a spin and you’ve got a stew cooking haha
The one thing I'll add to this is that the Maximum Remix is a more harder version of the original version, as I just notice that the Amateur challenges in this ver is the pro challenges in the original ver and the pro challenges is the hardcore challenges in the original but it also has some changes too.

And I just now notice from your video is that the medal rounds in the original game is now a task type gameplay (I have not played those levels yet in the maximum remix ver)
You should review Dave Mirra BMX 2. It may be the best BMX game ever
Lmao "and now you got a stew cookin" is than an arrested development reference?
Respect to Dave Mirra, salute
I loveeeeee this game, so many memoriesss omg
Damn I remember playing the original when I was younger. Played it a year after it came out (2001) I was nine at the time and couldn't pass certain levels
What happend to kirby from deathwish?
I own Dave Mirra's Freestyle BMX 2 and its pretty decent. You should give that game a try :P.
Other game you could try out on the original Playstation are TJ Lavin's Ultimate BMX or Cool Boarders 2001. Both are kinda challenging, but TJ Lavin's was frustrating at some point.
Rad Rat missed that in this game you gain momentum and when ure in a halfpipe you jump a couple of times before you got enough air for more advanced tricks, you didnt need a better bike for that trick
Where’s the review of Skate 2 & 3? Really want to know your opinion on them
I remember playing dave mirra on ps1 and i tell ya game wasnt too bad premise wise but the controls took time to get used to and the bugs where sometimes you do a jump and the rider bails mid air or you grind and the rider bails
Danm my god Rest In Peace Dave mirra & Kevin Robertson 🙌🏿 “ Heven is a half pipe”
awesome I got them on my phone right is so much fan.
Dave Mirror
Dave Mirage
never heard about the expanded game. don't know why I only remember sublime's song out of the music though. Really couldn't tell you any other songs
This is the best game ever, loved it :)
hey, since you did Dave Mirra 1, do you think youd be able to do Dave Mirra 2 and the other Activision 02 games?
watching this in 2020 i am wonering what Rad Rat would say too bmx streets pipe.. its on a bike, unpolished, buggy, difficult and basically an alpha.
but the sensation i get when nailing a big combo or insane trick is only matched by early thps games and the skate series!! it still is on a bike... but i really can see the potential!
Crushed that Maximum Remix wouldn't get the Dreamcast touch.. man do I love how they re-used older levels too but even more challenges! And the new ones and new tunes were pretty too just very edited shortened
Dave Mirra Dreamcast is a fucking riot though!!! They jus put the unmolested musics no censoring haa
BUT a super fuckup to Maximum Remix it's jus.. it costs four fucking blocks as much room for save as, Gran Turismo 2!? Not only that just the overwrite it makes you fucking wait.. stupid progression bar moves slowly all time
I remember playing this game all the time as a kid, the controls are awful, but once you figure it out you can get some good combos going
I put so many hours into this game every single time I broke a bone and I couldn't ride my bike I was inside playing this game you might have to get my surgery on my knee could not ride BMX for 6 months doctor said well I waited about 3 but yeah all I did was play this game crazy part I still do I downloaded it onto my Kindle and bought a Bluetooth controller still killing it
Did anyone have the same problem where the 4th level (i think) was unable to be unlocked?? It appeared on Dave mirra 2 later
Chris Rolph I seem to recall that as well.
I always play the woodward. The music in this one are very good
I remember a good park builder with the rails
I fuckin loved thrasher, me and my buddies back in the day preferred it over thps. The soundtrack is really good and the skating is more realistic
Wauw this is the only ps1 game that has ragdoll physics that i know of and to me its vry important especially in sports games.. Its just askes for it. Somerhing i always missed in tony hawks pro skater series.
Best game ever I wanted to be a bmxer but couldn't afford a bike. So I got into skateboarding as it was the closest I could get.
Rip Dave Mirra this was a good game..
please do Mirra 2!!!
