Profile:
Widely hailed as the most natural and gifted rider in BMX, this twenty-time X Games medalist (12 gold) and "ESPN Rider of the year" constantly pushes the envelope of vert and street riding with newer and bigger tricks. Since dedicating his life to riding after being hit by a drunk driver in 1993, Dave has defied the odds. He not only resumed riding, but has also become one of the ten most recognizable celebrities among teens and the most decorated athlete in action sports. With his own video game, documentary movie and the Dave Mirra Super Park Tour, along with his involvement in Tony Hawk's Boom Boom Huck Jam tour and the Gigantic Skatepark Tour, it�s been hard to miss the "Miracle Man."
