What?!

 

[Risible]

WTF. It's never fucking ending.

 

[braves01]

Whoa...that's unexpected. Is CTE a possibility?

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

One of my friends is going to be devasted.

 

[Cmerrill]

[Piggus]

Damn, wtf... That came out of nowhere.

My best friend and I used to spend hours playing Dave Mira's Freestyle BMX 2 on PS2.

 

[Lingitiz]

WHAT

 

[Beardz]

WTF??!?!?!?!

 

[alr1ght]

Jesus. RIP Dave.

 

[Goldenroad]

WTF. It's never fucking ending.

If you're referring to death....it's kind of strange that you're only now realizing this.

RIP.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Wow, this is awful. Damn.

 

[Volimar]

Damn Dave.

 

[HeySeuss]

Whoa...that's unexpected. Is CTE a possibility?

This was actually my first thought.

 

[The Albatross]

Woah, sad.

RIP.

Why would you be critical of someone's post like this? You know what he meant.

Damn, wtf... That came out of nowhere.

My best friend and I used to spend hours playing Dave Mira's Freestyle BMX 2 on PS2.

I literally almost bought this yesterday on Ebay, I probably rented the game like 6 or 7 times, only playing the first level over and over since it was so big for the time.

RIP man

 

[Reverend Funk]

Shit

 

[Mechanized]

Aww man. I loved Dave Mirra's BMX game. He seemed like a cool dude in interviews too. RIP

 

[Sanjuro]

Rip

 

[dc89]

What. No way.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

I grew into extreme sports in my later youth, so this is really sad.

RIP

 

[Colonel Nasty]

Fuck I loved Dave Mirra 2

 

[bounchfx]

holy fuck.... RIP

 

[torre_avenue]

What the hell. I'd heard of Mirra largely through the BMX XXX debacle, but I'd thought he'd pull a Tony Hawk and become a largely symbolic figure for the sport. This is quite sad.

 

[entremet]

I remember him in the real world challenges.

 

[Afro]

Fuck I loved Dave Mirra 2

Dave Mirra 2 memories!

R.I.P. Dave.

 

[Kaizer]

Oh wow, R.I.P.

 

[MLCodest]

FUCK .

RIP, his friends and family will be in my thoughts.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

He was a frequent tweeter before completely stopping on December 4th.

 

[Dishwalla]

Noooo! I still have his BMX game for Dreamcast, haven't played it in ages though, now maybe I will.

 

[Goldenroad]

Why would you be critical of someone's post like this? You know what he meant.

I'm sorry. Not meaning to be critical, I really don't know what he means. I'll not press the issue though.

 

[Khalifa Jayy]

WHAT?!?!

Man, that's insane.

 

[Monocle]

WTF 2016

RIP

 

[mrjohill]

Man 2016 taking no prisoners

RIP

 

[Salsa]

[ElectricBlanketFire]

 

[Tenebrous]

Rip

I was going to ask if he had a game... I was sure I'd seen the name before.

Suicide... Sad.

Devastating

As a kid I went through a BMX/freestyle phase, and Dave Mirra was my fav BMX athlete. I loved watching him dominate the 90s era X-Games.

 

[Demoskinos]

Man, that sucks. I feel bad for his kids.
