Would you have ever thought I would write about a bicycle based game? If you thought no, then you’d be wrong. Today’s Retro Recap is another one of my favorite games from my youth, Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX!
Eurogamer:
BMX veteran Dave Mirra has died, aged just 41.
US police announced they had found Mirra's body last night after responding to reports of a suicide.
Mirra lent his name to a series of successful BMX games from 2000 to 2007, released during the height of his fame.
Every years have positive and negative, people have their problems that can't handle the pressure. Look, if someone had problems, go talk to somebody who can trust. There are always a way to solve the problems. I had faced the problem before, but i did managed. And David, Rest in peace.
Suicide rarely makes sense, except to the person doing it mate.
Still, sad news and something I never expected to see.
Yea i get that but with him i just dont see it. Anyone see his instagram post before it happened? Why would someone say that then kill themselves but im not them like you said. I just dont see it being suicide either way RIP he was always one of my favorite bmx riders..

Its a common behavior of people who have made up there mind to do it, they genuinely become 'happy' as they know it will be over soon, his very last IG photo he shared was extremely old, which means he was looking through a lot of old photos to find it.
I would like to think it's not true also but you never know. He could of been battling some personal issues or depression that he never showed. He could also suffer from CTE(he had some serious head injuries in his career including a fractured skull and blood clot on his brain). There are a lot of possibilities. I just wish he was still here.
Forget Skate vs Tony Hawk, the real digital action sports battle was in BMX, as this retrospective explore the rivalry between Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX and Dave Mirra's Freestyle BMX.
Loved them both, but Mat Hoffman Pro BMX is the better of the two. Been dying for new BMX game. More like EA's S.K.A.T.E though.
Dave Mirra WahhtttT : ). this game is Legendary imo.
sound track was great, tricks were awesome, levels were so fun. you can bail off your bike in mid-air with rag doll effects (so it was like an earlier version of PAIN almost)
boight it again a few years back. PS1 was the best, hands down.
