Dave Mirra

Dave Mirra is without a doubt one of the biggest names in action sports, and one of the most decorated, with over 20 X Games medals. Originally from upstate New York, Dave transplanted himself to Greenville, NC in the mid-‘90s. Greenville has since become a BMX Mecca, thanks to Dave of course.

Dubbed the Miracle boy after his recovery from a near death experience in which he was hit by a drunk driver, Dave would soon help shape what the X Games are today. Mirra’s action sports fame led him to host MTV’s “Inferno” for two seasons and cameo rolls on shows like Las Vegas. Dave has also been featured in several editions of his own video game series, “Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX.” In 2004 Dave was featured as one of People Magazine’s “50 Hottest Bachelors,” however he took himself off the market in February of 2006 when he married his lovely wife Lauren.

2006 marked a huge change for Dave as he left Haro Bikes after 11 years to start his own bike company, MirraCo, with former Haro President Jim Ford.
