Mavro Cam – Woodward Cloud 9 Jam

November 5, 2026

Dave Mavro has more classic footage from a HEAVY session that Dave Mirra, Jamie Bestwick, Chad Kagy and Kevin Robinson and more got in at Woodward on the Cloud 9 vert ramp 21 YEARS AGO. You already know when a deck is stacked with that many heavy hitters, even a laid back session gets extra crazy with everyone pushing each other. Here’s just shy of 10 minutes of riding that, even after all these years, is still amazing. Take a look!

“Here’s that time in 2005, when Gravity Games was held in Pennsylvania, with Woodward East being the stage for the BMX and Skate vert disciplines. This brought together the usual suspects of the top BMX vert riders. But it was the first time Dave Mirra was in the same house (Cloud Nine) as the top vert riding residents of Woodward East: Kagy, Bestwick, and Kevin Robinson.
I was fortunate enough to still be at camp when this fell into place.
So here it is, in continuity, as I captured it that afternoon.
Enjoy:)
I’ll be posting the ensuing vert comp soon, which went down the next day.” – Dave Mavro

Dave Mirra – DC Shoes Commercial (2003)

October 27, 2021

Do you ever think about something you haven’t seen in a long time, then all the sudden it pops up? The video of Dave Mirra riding the basketball hoop popped in my head the other day, and then Snakebite just uploaded this old DC Shoes commercial featuring Dave wall slapping the backboard. This is one of those ads that is burned into a lot of BMX riders minds and likely causes you to think about it every time you see a basketball hoop!

If you’re digging this, you can check out the behind the scenes video from this shoot below!

Mirra Co. Is Up For Sale

April 17, 2019

Here’s a bit of surprising news we didn’t expect to see. Based on an article we found on Bicycle Retailer, it looks like Dave Mirra‘s brand Mirra Co. that he started after parting ways with Haro Bikes is up for sale or for licensing. Over the years the brand has been sold or licensed out to brands like Trek, and the brand is currently licensed out to Haro Bikes, but their license ends in November. Here’s a bit more from the company selling / auctioning the brand off…

“Hilco Streambank, a leading advisory firm specializing in the sale of intellectual property assets, is seeking offers to purchase or license the intellectual property associated with the Mirra bike brand, founded by the legendary BMX freestyler Dave Mirra. Offers to buy or license the brand are due on May 2, 2019 at noon Eastern time. An auction will be held on May 6, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time. Information regarding the opportunity is available here.

Dave Mirra, a member of the BMX Hall of Fame, founded MirraCo with industry veteran Jim Ford in 2006. Dave is well-recognized as a pioneer in bringing freestyle BMX into the mainstream, having held the record for most X Games medals in BMX Freestyle (24) until 2013. Despite his untimely death in 2016, Dave Mirra’s name is etched in the minds of BMX enthusiasts worldwide, as well as a broad cross-section of action sports-oriented people.

“A buyer or licensee of the Mirra brand has an opportunity to capitalize on the increasing popularity of youth cycling,” commented Hilco Streambank senior vice president Richelle Kalnit. “The number of people riding BMX bikes has more than doubled between 2012 and 2018, and the youth market is poised for significant growth, fueled by inner city youth and the introduction of BMX Freestyle Park at the 2020 Olympic Games. A buyer or licensee can build upon a brand that is known in the marketplace, having been licensed since inception, and expand into other categories.”

Based on the info, it sounds like any offers are due by May 2nd, and then, assuming, there will be an auction on May 6th if the right offer doesn’t come in before then. You can check out more details right here.

We have no idea what the price target is, or what it could really fetch since we’re not 100% sure on some of the analytical numbers they company selling presented like the 1.6 million total BMX riders in 2012 versus the 3.44 million total BMX riders in the world in 2018, or the 43% growth between 2012 and 2016, but we’re sure there had to be some research involved in that. Either way, it’s interesting and we are curious to see what it sells for and who ends up buying it!

DAVE MIRRA MURAL BY NICK SAWYERS

February 4, 2019

This is so rad. As some of you know by now, Nick Sawyers is a phenomenal artist and he’s done a ton of really cool projects over the years. This new one for Woodward East is amazing. Nick did a mural for Dave Mirra who BMX lost 3 years ago. Hit play to get Nick’s perspective on what went into making this one.

“Today 3 years since the passing of a legend. Dave Mirra was truly a larger-than-life rider who will always hold a special place in our hearts here at Woodward Camp. He will be forever memorialized on the BMX cabin thanks to our friend and amazing artist Nick Sawyers.

Filmed by Josh Babu” – Woodward East

16 Minutes / 16mm – Dave Mirra & Ryan Nyquist

July 14, 2017

Wow, this is amazing. Shad Johnson just uploaded this old Dave Mirra and Ryan Nyquist Adidas video from 2000 that features a ton of amazing riding and interview with Dave and Ryan! It’s pretty crazy to think this was made 17 years ago and how things have changed, and how some things have stayed the same, since then. Highly, HIGHLY advise you give this a watch! RIP Dave…

“I have been sitting on this video for a little and I’m pretty sure most people have not seen it since i think it was made as a promotional item for Adidas when they had a BMX team in the late 90’s to early 2000’s. There is some awesome riding from a very young Nyquist and Mirra in his absolute prime!
Definitely worth a watch just to see these to legends put in work!” – Snakebite

Hit play and take in another incredible section from the legend.
