Nowadays it feels like stuff gets forgotten a few weeks later, so it is always interesting to go back over the year for me. See who did what, as I continue my breakdown of the year today, with February. This year that shall be remembered forever for the tragic death of BMX icon/legend Dave Mirra, RIP.
February began with a nice “Decade teaser” treat from Scott Powell, really like the fire hydrant to foot jam decade direct to back pegs to direct foot jam decade at 00:54 not to mention the upside down decade to xft ice cream lines at 1:03 and 1:15. Looking forward to the Decade Anthology edit Scott is working on…
On February 4th, the BMX World lost the greatest to ever grace our sport. I was lucky enough to share many great memories together with Dave on the Haro team during the late 90’s, a personal hero of mine, my thoughts go out to his family and friends.
Truly a heartbreaking day!
R.I.P Dave Mirra.
