Mirra turned pro in 1992 and won 24 X Games medals. He held the record for the BMX’er with the most gold medals until 2013. Mirra also, similarly to Matt Hoffman, made himself into a household name through his Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX video game and appearances in the Colin McRae: Dirt 2 video game.

Our condolences go out to his many friends and his family.
