Remembering Dave Mirra | World of X Games 

I'm 43 years of age.and I still ride BMX every day of every week because of this guy.he changed my life.thanks Dave.

I miss the popularity of action sports in the 90s and early 2000s. RIP Mirra

Dave Mirra is a LEGEND. He is missed so much for BMX and action sports. He will never be forgotten. He left a tremendous legacy.

I remember playing Dave Mirra pro BMX so much when I was a kid.

Dave Mirra was the nicest guy I have ever met. I met him at a stop in Lawrenceville Ga. I was nobody important, I wasnt with anyone important and I asked Dave Mirra for an autograph for my nephew (I was also a big fan). He treated me like I was his best friend and we hung out and talked for about an hour. Nicest guy I have ever met. I have met some other famous athletes like Tony Hawk, Rob Nolli, Scott Byerly etc. all of them were nice but I always felt like a fan around them but Dave made me feel like a friend. I truly felt like Dave Mirra was my friend from that one meeting.

Man Dave Mirra was everything to BMX. Well deserved legend. This man is the true definition of a LEGEND!!!. Missed.

Thank you X Games for this beautiful tribute, Dave Mirra is a legend and will always be remembered for all the awesome things he did

Talked to him the year before he passed, snodrift rally in Atlanta Michigan. Super cool guy. He spent time talking to everyone and explaining everything he knew about rally like he absolutely loved everyone taking interest. Great guy for real.

I went to high school with Dave and was always blown away by his talent. Not only was he a bad ass, he was one of the coolest and most humble guys you’d ever meet. The world was a better place with him in it.

We still miss you Dave. You touched so many of us and you will never be forgotten. You were and always will be the king of bmx, the sport will never be the same. I still have my Mirra 540 Air, first real bmx I ever owned, and I think about you everytime I see it or ride it, your drive, your passion, your humility. Hard to think it will be 6 years in Febuary since you've left, feels like I just got the gut-punch bad news yesterday. R.I.P 😢

I remember watching Dave do that first double back flip, it was something very special to see, it took bmx to a completely new and higher level.

Man I didn't know that he had died... His name is legendary, that is his legacy RIP.

Ride in paradise, Miracle Man.

Miss him. G.O.A.T. Rest in peace Mirra!

Everytime I watch this, I'm taken down a notch as Dave had a Major Influence on me growing up in Maui, Hawaii...I still have my bikes, 22years later, still have my Mirra Pro Handles, and sparkly Glitter Blue Mirra Pro Seat. Now I'm building my Subaru and it's going to be Mirra Themed. All other pros at the time all inspired me as well, but Dave was my Idol..Mahalo to all, Keep Riding and talk to someone about your problems RIP MIRACLE BOY! See you when I get there🤙🏾

Its so sad that he took his own life. Depression is a real thing ,no matter how loved you are. So Sad may he R.I.P. He was amazing!!

I will always remember the day that Dave Mirra showed up at the local skate park in Switzerland me and my friend frequently visited as teens back in the days. My friend and I were lucky enough to be there and what started as a disappointing day because some skateboarders stole my friends cap out of spite because we were inline skating "in their park" turned out to be a fantastic session we had with Dave and memories I will cherish for the entirety of my life. Out of nowhere came Dave and asked my friend why he's so bummed. He told Dave what happened and without any hesitation he gave away his cap as a gift. We had the pleasure to talk to him for some time while most of the skateboarders didn't even recognize him. We were super exited when he told us that he would love to ride with us in that massive wooden bowl that's in that park. I will never forget the moment I did a Royale Grind and Dave jumped over me doing a Tuck No Hander. We watched him riding that bowl in awe until he left the place. Even though we did a different sport Dave was always a huge inspiration for me. He showed the world that there are other actions sports out there than skateboarding and exceptional athletes can be found in every sport. For me he first and foremost was an ambassador of having fun while doing a sport that you love. Thank you Dave for those memories and for beeing such a great person, you will always be remembered by kids all around the world.

This actually almost made me cry, I can remember the excitement of watching him ride. I would be sure to be in front of the TV whenever they aired him. We would yell and scream as if we were in the stands... RIP Mr. Master of the Pedals

One of the few greats that showed the world what bmx is ,shined like a star on the ramps it's hard to fathom his pain hiding inside ,his minds not in turmoil anymore, he's at peace ,RIP DM ,so long as there's bmx your name will never be forgotten

I’d risk the fall, just to know how it feels to fly. Miss you buddy ✌️

this is truly heartbreaking to watch. RIP Mirra

Dave Mirra it's to BMX what Tony Hawk is too skateboarding

Is 2022 and years after his passing still can't believe one of my favorites bmx riders Dave Mirra is gone. R.I.P

still can't get over this :( he was such an idol to me as a kid

I remember watching his first double backflip live! It was insane as a kid CTE sucks!

My fav BMX rider, dude was a fearless BEAST. RIP!!

The fact that he still inspiring people with his progression in the sport is his lasting legacy every time there's two steps forward one and a half of those steps were built on the shoulders of Mirra

I had the privilege of meeting Dave in Tampa Fl and hanging out with him for a hour and he was so cool, humble never acted like he was a super star. I also saw him complete many times and he truly was amazing every time he did a huge trick i would hold my breath. RIP Dave you are so missed by all your fans, friends, and family. Never forgotten!

Still get choked up every time I see this. Gold Pedals Forever

RIP Dave Mirra, truely a BMX legend for the rest of time, We all miss you.

Wow just in tears !! So sad !! We All have problems ! Loved watching him as an old head ! Was starting my family with my two daughters! I remember watching those games with my baby girls! World lost truly amazing person! Thank you Dave!

One of the best riders of all time. He was a staple of many kids childhood.

He was such an innovator. Im a skateboarder, and he still inspired me so much. I never rode bmx, but I played his games...for me he was like my Tony Hawk of bmx. 110 percent.

I remember ripping tricks as Mirra to Godsmack on N64. RIP man, look at where BMX is today all because of you.

I am 43 and everything that was said couldn't have been said any better. RIDE ON DAVE for the big gold in the sky I'll forever miss you RIDE IN PEACE.

Can't never forget that, I rode my bike every freaking day until the rims weren't stable because of how much i wanted to ride like D.Mirra!

I met him once around year 2000 and I still can't believe he is not here greatest bmxr ever

Nice tribute X Games, gone but never forgotten. Fucking legend! ...STAY STRONG!

I had the pleasure of meeting Dave Mirra when he attended the Bike show 2004 in Birmingham 🇬🇧I was 14 years old and had not long started competing as a pro. There was supposed to be 4 riders in the group but 2 pulled out last minute. So Me and Dave shared the course, still to this day this is one of the best experiences of my life. R.i.p Dave your memory will live on forever.

Still have the original ps1 game dave mirra freestyle bmx and still rock it.

As a kid growing up in the 90's, only two of my childhood icons have passed that really made me feel some type of way, Paul Walker & Dave Mirra. All I did as a kid was ride my bike, watch their movies, and play their video games. Peace.

I wish I could have told Dave thank you. I didnt know him other than TV. But Dave changed my life when I saw that gold bike fly through the air. I was never the same after his double. He is the reason I saw Travis throw the double in LA. Thank you Dave, we all miss you.

I was Dave’s lumber salesman for a time. What a great guy. He was humble yet driven. He is sorely missed by everyone whoever knew him. Thanks to Dave and God bless his family.

it's crazy that's it's been a year already.

Wasnt ever into bmx but i knew of Dave Mirra from his amazing game back in the day. Dave Mirra n Tony Hawks are legends to alot more than just ther sport fans

Still chokes me up.. RIP DAVE

Dave Mirra was the first celebrity I ever met. He came to Portland with the Dew Action Sports Tour and I waited over an hour for him to sign my copy of his game. To this day it’s still my most prized possession to the point that I don’t even keep the game with me, it’s currently locked in a lock box in a storage unit because I don’t want to lose or damage it. If you weren’t there you’ll never understand the impact he had on the sport and he will forever be missed

Thank you Dave! You changed so much for our future. I’m 44 I still ride. The miracle man forever just believe in yourself and you can do it. You will never be forgotten you changed BMX. R.I.P.

Super solid guy. It sucks that he gone. But I guess that life, once you're in that dark place it's hard to come back. Depression is a real thing.

Loved watching him. He's was the best BMX rider. He's a legend. I was saddened to hear that he took his own life like a lot of people do. My own brother did it when I was 36 he was 33 in 2010. I believe they're both in a better place free of the pain we have to endure on a daily basis in this world

Ferbruary 4 is my birthday. I grew up watching every X-games just too see the miracle boy. He was my hero and it was really hard to find out your hero died on your b day.

I'm just glad that I can say that I was a witness to our BMX SUPERMAN.

I live in Washington N.C Dave lived in gvegas "Greenville" about 15 minutes away from me been to his house and his park in Greenville such a awesome bro I miss you everyday RIP legend's never die

My first BMX bike was a Haro Mirra, loved watching him and wished to be like him. I know show my kids your videos and remember you. RIP

Hero’s get remembered, legends never die. Forever in our hearts. RIP Dave Mirra you will be missed by millions.

As a kid I remember watching X-games and then rushing out to the dirt trails with my friends. Watching Dave and Ryan ride The adrenaline you feel is just Amazing and the amount of inspiration was ridiculous. When I heard Dave had passed It felt like someone stole my bike And I would never be able to ride it again😢. RIP Dave💔 Ride, In, Paradise.

I really wish I had gotten into action sports to appreciate Mirra's legacy more than now. RIP, you legend.

Remember watching him time after time pulling off these crazy tricks . Seem to always enjoy riding his BMX bike . Rest in peace to a legend .

I've just found this video because my step son is getting into BMX and I wanted to show him my biggest inspiration for riding when I was younger. He was blown away by the tricks he was doing. I'm 48, I still have the Amaco I got for Xmas in 1982, and I ride as often as I can. I'm larger, heavier and have some health issues but I try to rip it as much as I can. I have a riding partner now. RIP Dave, you will never be forgotten.

Happy Birthday Dave. We all love and miss you down here 🙏🏼❤️

I wish Scotty Cranmer was in the video talking about Dave.

From his raw talent to the soundtrack on his game Dave made an imprint on my life rip bro.

still get emotional every time i see this . thank you Dave .

That's Dave Mirra: a game changer for this sport. Still shocked about his death.

this is almost hard to watch, havent watched it in a while. RIP

I met Dave when I was about 16 years old at the NEC in Birmingham, UK. I asked for an autograph but stupidly didn’t have a pen with me. He waited while I frantically ran around trying to borrow a pen. Nice guy, absolute legend. Even the music on his video game influenced what I listen to now ❤️

I loved watching him as a kid. I'll never forget watching X-Games for hours on end waiting for Mirra to ride and cheering in my living room at the TV. Man it's so sad to know he's gone. RIP brother. I hope ur in a happy place and ty for the years of joy u brought me

He was my idol growing up in BMX. RIP, you've inspired so many lives for good.

mirra,pastrana,hawk the 3 xgames gods.

I really can't explain it....This guy has ALWAYS been a huge hero to me...It's just is

Even as a skateboarder I remember watching Dave in the X Games and being transfixed by him and that double flip, massive respect for that guy

When I was a kid, Mirra was our legend ♥ Greetings from France

I really didn't know Mirra had passed away untill now! I find it really sad because if it was someone like Christiano Ronaldo or someone like that, the world would be turned upside down and it would be all over the news... but someone like Mirra is proberbly the best bmw rider thats ever been and many people didn't know he had passed.. I mean, in the 90's dave Mirra was the man! I mean like everyone knew who he was. Its sad that I didn't even know about this... he was my idol growing up. Very sad the daily struggles. RIP dave! You the man and you always will be 👍

It doesn't matter what sport you like, or even what you class as "sport" this man was a true inspiration to young people, and that is a true sportsman

I was 16 and had just learned how to crawl stand and walk again after getting a rare form of encephalitis and seeing mirra in 98 got me on a bike again.Still ride to this day and I am 38.RIP MIRRA!

What a tragedy. I got to ride with him at a bmx track when I was young and he was so down to earth for how big of a star he was. Such a terrible loss.

If only every person in the world had, 5 % of his passion.. Such a legend..

I've been playing Dave Mirra's Freestyle BMX and touching base with my inner Dave again. Thanks for the inspiration I'll always have with me Dave!

It's been 20 years since the release of his game and a $20b gaming industry still hasn't released a better one. A legend who reached far & wide, loved more than he ever knew.

the double back flip , should just be called a "mirra" ... or at the very LEAST there should be a trick named in his honor .. it's time .. D.M is gone , long live D.M.

I remember doing a report on him in school on some of the influential people in my life. Miracle Man will always live on as the gold standard. I remember watching all of his infamous runs and reveling in that excitement. R.I.P. Dave.

"Dave's contributions to the BMX world are unparalleled" *Matt Hoffman has entered the chat* k RIP though Dave. You're a legend and are missed.

I watched many X Games and Dave left an impression of someone who pushed the limits and made it look easy. We all know what he did was not easy. All the great ones in any sport or discipline have something the rest of us don’t have and that’s what sets them apart. Dave was one of those people. RIP 🥇

I remember seeing his name in a video game without knowing who he was, but I knew he was a legend in his name, also for being in a video game. Then I really got to know him through older X Games footage. I was late knowing him then years ago and I’m late again. That doesn’t take away from the absolute legend he was. I see it as that making him more of a legend. Reaching through time and still inspiring.

Absolute legend deeply missed and a great inspiration . RIP

there are 86 fools who don´t like this video, please DAVE MIRRA IS A BMX LEGEND...

I really wish they would have touched on how someone so inspiring and at the top of their game could take their own life. It’s important for others dealing with this to hear. 🙏🏾

Just watched this again, it sparked a memory... Dave inspired me in my mid to late 30's to totally rebuild my old racing bike(Schwinn Sting) and start riding again. I still have a Redline that I pedal around my neighborhood at age 52.

i met dave in australia in 2004 and was one of the greatest moments in my life..RIP DAVE !!

Daniel's great friend on and off the bike, a mentor, from heaven you are a great Dave!

Back in the mid 80's bmx and freestyling was born! We all got on board with this new trend ! Grabbing air inverted was extremely exhilarating..thank Dave much love !

Dave Mirra and Tony Hawk are the 2 names will always come to mind immediately when talking about action sports. Absolute legend rip.

We lost a legend RIP Dave

My favorite bmx rider, every time x game came on I was glue to the tv, also love the ps1 game dave mirra BMX

I have never ever heard of this guy because I am not into this sport but after reading some comments and watching this video I cried because I feel so bad for his family and friends for having lost such a wonderful person.

Daniel Dhers won a silver medal at the Olympic games, thank you Dave Mirra for being his inspiration since he was little. Mirra you are the best!

Gracias Dave, por enseñarle a Daniel Dhers que sera tu hijo prodigio en el bmx, y hoy Daniel es uno de los mejores del mundo,

you can have everything you want in this world and still not be happy R.I.P Dave

Dave Mirra was a MONSTER in the BMX world. Rest In Peace.

Legend. Gone but not forgotten.
