Dave Mirra, the versatile BMX freestyle rider who owned the most X Games medals in history through the summer of 2013, died Thursday of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to police in Greenville, North Carolina.
Authorities said they responded to an apparent suicide and discovered his body in a truck.
Mirra, 41, was married with two children. He had been visiting friends in the area, officials said.
Man, that sucks. I still have a copy of Freestyle BMX 2 stored away in my game drawer. Heck, I even remember that crappy BMX XXX game he lent his name to. Sucks to see him go out like that.
