Wonder if it had something to do with all the concussions he probably had throughout his career. Crazy! RIP

 

[Guess who's back]

Damn. That's bogus. He was literally the face of BMX in my opinion.
He was at the top of it all when i was into bmx'ing.

R.I.P. Dave

TMZ...... Not sure if real.

Sad way to go if it is!

Growing up I was really into BMX racing and whatnot. Crazy to see people like this just give up with life.

 

[Mook]

Not sure if its real? I hate TMZ in general but they are almost never wrong.

I just don't want it to be real.

I'll be honest suicides piss me off.

How can your life really be that bad?

 

[Chester Copperpot]

The Greenville police posted about it long before tmz.


Pretty surprising it was suicide considering the things he posts on Instagram. Always pics of his family and him doing cool shit.

Any that's what pisses me off the most. Its the family left behind that get screwed^

I'll just be the jackass that out right says it.

Suicide is selfish.

I don't care where or by what means a person gets help but if someone thinks they need it get it!!

Nothing jackass about that at all. Suicide is a cowards way out. As stated above, I can't see how it can get so bad to take that way out.

RIP. Loved him in the games, loved playing his game on dream cast, I think it was.

Exactly dude was an idol to many kids growing up. Then for him to just squeeze the delete trigger makes me angry.

 

[DEEZUZ]

Meh, it is what it is

Maybe he was on some kind of anti depressants or other mediciations you don't know.. Meds can make you do some weird things without thinking or knowing really what your going to do..


Was on zoloft once and I was >.< this close to commiting suicide.. Had all planned out etc.. did not even realize what I was saying as I was talking to my friend about it. luckily she notified some friends up here and told them about it.. hell I wasn't even suicidal period.. Anti depressants are just odd ones.


Yes suicide sucks but sometimes don't know whole story

Could very well be the culprit.

Don't people think that hey if these drugs knock me on my ass this bad and totally put me in a different world that hey I shouldn't be taking them? I realize people have different reactions to each type but good lord medication to turn you into a zombie obviously that's not helping the situation either.

Glad someone caught what was going on for you!

I don't think people are necessarily aware that their mind is being altered.

Holy shit this hits home for me... RIP Dave I use to religiously watch him

Right that's why Im glad someone pointed it out and caught it when [MENTION=3871]LiquidPen[/MENTION] was dealing with it.

 

[DanJ]

Kind of blows my mind. Spent a lot of time playing Dave Mirra on Xbox. I'm wondering if it is concussion related. That era of riders took a beating.

This was my first thought. An autopsy would be able to determine this, depending on where the gunshot was placed
