It is highly mournful when someone we know and love loses his/hers life. Especially at an early age. But eventually, we all have to come to a certain point when we have to say farewell to this world, and step into another. However, the struggle is to experience as much as we can during our time here and of course to share peace and love. The reason for this brief intro is the tragic loss of life of one of the greatest bikers in BMX history. We are referring to the utmost BMX biker Dave Mirra who was found dead in his truck on February 4, 2016, in Greenville, North Carolina.

Dave Mirra was one of the greatest pro BMX biker on the planet and he has gained an incredible number of 24 “X-Game” medals, before announcing his retirement. He was an inspiration for the extreme sports generation that followed him. In addition, not only he was a pro BMX biker, but also he was a rally driver and TV host as well. Mirra was defending the name of both the Subaru Rally Team as well as Mini in the Global Rallycross.

Furthermore, his friends in the area of Greenville said that the biker was visiting them during this past week before this tragic event.
