After the tragic and untimely death of BMX and X-Games legend Dave Mirra a couple weeks ago, BMXers everywhere have been sharing photos, stories and painting their pedals gold in his memory. My old friends Randy Lawrence and Keith Treanor held a memorial jam in Menifee, CA, that drew hundreds of riders. I couldn't make it out west that day, so I spent the day drawing my favorite photo of Dave. There are dozens and dozens of great photos of Dave riding. But for some reason, his tail tap on the basketball backboard blew my mind when I first saw it. RIP Dave. #goldpedalsformirra .
Dave's death has been really sad. Really wish there could have been another outcome.
