The first one shows him and his wife, and the other one is taken near to Greenville’s Rose High School while riding his BMX. He was found dead just a few hundred feet away from this school.

Mirra has held the most X Games (this is an American annual extreme sports event), 24, until 2013. He was also involved in rally cross with the help of Subaru.

Mirra was involved in three games. The first one was Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX – this game was released for the PlayStation, PC and Dreamcast 2000. The sequel followed a year later for the PS2, Xbox and GameCube. These two games were made for a single release – Maximum Remix – for the PlayStation in 2001. His third and last appearance was in DiRT 2 in 2009 as a rally driver. Mirra made his name known over a decade ago in the PlayStation community.
