I was certainly surprised, but every time I ran into him in Greenville, he was 1: A utter cunt, 2: Drunk and/or on other things. Sucks that he killed himself, but I'm not too broken up.

Edit: Love the anon rep calling me out on this response. Talk to anyone from the area who dealt with him off the "track" they will agree.

Drugs or CTE.

Why do people care? Honestly, when was the last time anyone even thought about Dave Mirra? The 90's?

People acting like their favorite celebrity just died.

You obviously don't know what happens when almost any celebrity dies. Over half the people on my FB feed posting about Bowie after he died probably only knew Space Oddity.MaybeSuffragette City.

Someone nailed it earlier. I know duckall about this guy but every time we saw him in the 00s he was plastered. Hell of a BMXr but fuck him for capitalizing on the 2016 RR Martin story. He gets a supporting role at best.

He was also ALWAYS with his dad. Had a heavy presence in LA for a while a decade or so ago.

Not broken up about it, just shocked as to the cause.



That's my fear. Would be the first non nfl suicide from CTE?

There's been several former NHL players as well.

Wait till they find a way to diagnose CTE while someone is alive, the sports universe will explode.

I think it's retarded to try to blame concussions for everything some sports player does. Breaking news: People from all walks of life commit suicide (yes this includes rich/famous/powerful people). People from all walks of life also commit every crime under the sun. Non-smokers get cancer, etc.

It's an amazingly retarded fascination with trying to find ANYTHING to blame for ANYTHING someone does or ANYTHING that happens to someone that mankind seems to have.

PS: Rip
=(

Grew up 10 minutes from my hometown, was pretty well liked in this area. Sucks :/

I really doubt it. It's just very unlikely they'd even be looking for it in most cases.
