This is such a tragedy.
As we previously reported, BMX athlete Dave Mirra died of an alleged suicide while visiting friends in Greenville, North Carolina this week. How sad!
It’s hard to believe that so soon after losing David Bowie, Alan Rickman, and Glenn Frey we’re forced to say goodbye to ANOTHER industry legend.
