What is Dave Mirra?
Bmx bike rider.
He had 14 gold medals in the X Games, rally raced for Subaru and was a ranked Triathlete too. He had some mental issues, bacterial meningitis in 2010 and then blew his head off, in his pickup truck, in front of his best friends house. Sad, with a wife and 2 daughters left behind.
i think he had some concussion issues also along the way.

He had CTE. He was the first bmx guy diagnosed. He apparently told people he was going crazy, couldn’t control himself, then shot himself - all within a month.

He was a good dude (I used to ride with one of his haro teammates). I’m sure his friends and family feel terrible because all the signs were there, but nobody knew what to do.

Damn, that's a horrible way to go out!
