I know this is a porn blog and all but it's so hard to like. explain to people what Dave Mirra meant to the BMX community
#unimportant thoughts#like...I can't even begin to explain it#like I'm not even a big fan of Mirra's riding#but what he meant to the sport is such large footsteps#the stardom the ads the videogames the contests the videos#the things he did FOR the community - the way he gave BACK#in tangible ways we saw and understood and reference today#no can fill his place#and it honestly really sickening to me the way a lot of modern olympic park riders act compared to him#they whine and whine and whine about not getting enough respect and support while hiding in private training facilities#only ever posting clips of them training in foam pits and on resi and talk about things to come and how well they did in the last olympic#qualifier event#mirra did so much#Mirraco...his own bicycle company he used to sponsor his fellow riders AND up an coming riders he thought deserved a chance#Drop The Hammer...a entire video dedicated to giving the spotlight to other riders he thought deserved the props and hype#on top of the Nike ads....on top of the X Games gold medals...on top of the videogames...#Animalhouse Jam.....and countless other things that I don't even know because it was before my time#and now the riders twenty years after him complain that the community doesnt do enough to support THEM??#it's...a community#it's all about community.#sigh.#delete later#anyways. RIP Dave Mirra.#whatever demons he fought and lost are demons I never want to meet.#okay short nerd rant over
