The guy was amazing on a BMX bike. Apparently a suicide.

I knew Dave from his Cal Poly days and I am really bummed about this. He was a good guy. RIP.

Crushing. My son looks up to him so much. He has an old Mirra co sticker on his bike. We are never safe from the dark places of our mind. Rest in peace Dave, I hope you found some type of comfort.

while never a bmxer, i watched this guy growing up, and so find this sad, as he always came off as a professional, amiable, fun-loving guy.

at the same time, i didn't know him personally and so for me it's equally serving as a reminder to be kind...



because this dude had,

to the eyes of at least me and i suspect most everyone else who was only seeing a surface,

everything.



rip brother.
