- With the sad and untimely passing of one of the biggest names in bmx history I thought I should put out some rare old footage I filmed of Dave on UK soil. Filmed this in August 1993 at King of Concrete, Southsea skatepark. He came , saw and conquered. Took home a Guinness World record too for highest air- and most riders say that halfpipe is hard to ride. Dave - you were idolized by many, inspired thousands if not millions of riders (and tv viewers thanks to X games). All we can say is thank you.
Rest in Peace Dave. You'll never be forgotten. - Розваги
Man, thank you so much for posting this footage. Brings back so many memories, I was one of the riders screaming at 2:40s what an incredible day, amazing to think about how many young riders he inspired. RideInPeace.
Brilliant video!, would of loved to see him do this in the flesh. Rest in peace Dave. 🙏🏻
I wrote this for dave 2 days after his death,hope you enjoy......Damn Dave MIRRA,you got me looking in the MIRRA,your death has me seeing things a little CLIRRA,the lord has called you to come 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. I'm a keep it going for the homie Dave MIRRA,last night me and the squad gave a toast to you and took shots of BELVEDIRRA. In your honor I'm gonna try to make 2016 the best YIRRA, I need to slow down and stop living so fast I'm always in 5th GIRRA sometimes I'm going so fast, this car gets hard to STIRRA going out of control like a pilot trying to land with no landing GIRRA. Trust me when I tell you I fight the same demons as you the ones that whisper"Birdplan we can help just take your life and all the pain will DISAPIRRA". But I just let it go in one side and out the other EARRA. easier said than done when they work 24-7 like a college kid studying to be an ENGINIRRA. Damn dog just writing this brings me back to the time I ran into you at the Santa Monica PIERRA,I was star struck and was talking so fast i probably sounded like an AUCTIONIRRA, couldn't help it, I was talking to my idol, the best bmx bike rider in the whole western HEMISPHIRRA,scratch that I meant to say the whole ATMOSPHIIRA, You would get so high on the vert ramp I thought you was gonna run into santa and hit one of his REINDIRRA, you always gave 110% and that's why we would CHIRRA, riding hard like a boss,your nickname shoulda been PAUL REVIRRA. Also writing this brings me back to when I heard of your death I was driving home from Tilly's listening to SIA song CHANDELIRRA,and one thing became crystal CLIRRA,money aint the key to happiness cuz you had so much of it your 2nd name coulda been CASHIRRA. A lot of things right now are UNCLIRRA ,but your death woke up the the BMX world about head trauma,and your saving lives cuz my kid will never ride without wearing HEAD GIRRA. You are legend a true PIONIRRA all your fans miss you from New York all the way to Alaska,the last FRONTIRRA ,your influence is felt worldwide I remember waiting in line to have my vision street wear hat signed and behind me was a kid from Africa, he was from ZAIRERRA,I'm just glad all your pain is gone now,relax have fun,show off all your x-games medals while you and god drink a cold BIRRA,I can hear him whispering to you saying,"Dave,you've had one heck of a CARIRRA,its ok to rest you're in my arms now so go ahead and sleep right HIRRA,and tonight when your wife and daughters ask me if they can see you one last time,I will make you REAPPIRRA.
I recorded the Record Breakers version off tv. It was the first 'bmx' video I owned, thanks Dave. Heaven is a halfpipe
He went for a twix! Absolutely insane
RIP Dave Mirra!
Instead of thinking about Dave resting in peace which I hope he is. I think more about his kids "living in peace". I feel so bad for them...
