Not in most cases, but Mirra was pretty much to BMX what Tony Hawk is to skateboarding. Had a ton of video games, a staple of xtreme sports for 20 years.
Dude got broken a lot of times riding... makes me wonder if its CTE, like Junior Seau.

Agreed. When it comes to BMX pioneers, I think of Mat Hoffman, Dave Mirra, and Ryan Nyquist.
Depression is a terrible thing. RIP

Don't forget Upper Arlington's own Todd Lyons, who is not taking this news very well. They were teammates at one time

Harper Lee dead at age of 89: 'To Kill a Mockingbird Author' passes away

Nelle Harper Lee, who won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1961 for her book, "To Kill a Mockingbird," has died at the age of 89, multiple sources in her hometown of Monroeville confirmed Friday morning.
Lee was born April 28, 1926, in Monroeville, the youngest of four children of lawyer Amasa Coleman Lee and Frances Cunningham Finch Lee.
As a child, Lee attended elementary school and high school just a few blocks from her house on Alabama Avenue. In a March 1964 interview, she offered this capsule view of her childhood: "I was born in a little town called Monroeville, Alabama, on April 28, 1926. I went to school in the local grammar school, went to high school there, and then went to the University of Alabama. That's about it, as far as education goes."

The future's so bright, I've gotta wear... shades.
(CNN)Frank Sinatra Jr., the son of the legendary entertainer who had a long musical career of his own, died Wednesday, said manager Andrea Kauffman.
He was 72.
Kauffman said Sinatra died at a Daytona Beach, Florida, hospital. Singer Nancy Sinatra said on her Facebook page that her brother died of cardiac arrest.
"Sleep warm, Frankie..." she wrote.
