Dave Mirra has suddenly been taken from us, who could’ve ever seen this coming? Words can’t describe my inner feelings right now, but it seems eerie, and yet ultimately comforting knowing that I had the opportunity to meet Dave at this past year’s NORA Cup awards ceremony. Dave was set as our presenter for the ramp category that night (he’d award Dennis Enarson later that night with Ramp Rider of the Year), and while Dave was timid on stage, he was clearly intrigued by the riding footage being projected on the giant screen. The nominee reels are always a mash of the very best riding that year from people like Dennis Enarson and Kriss Kyle, and I think Dave might’ve really had the chance to see the mark he left, and where the torch has now been carried… That moment is something I’ll never forget. Dave Mirra is a legend, an icon, and a true inspiration who shaped our world and left his mark, but you all know that. Here’s a look back on the reel we ran that night before he took the stage as the presenter for Ramp Rider of the Year. RIP Dave.

Tony Neyer has been killing it on a bike for as long as I can remember but the filming of this section was particularly eventful. Along the way Tony nabbed the cover of Ride, suffered a devastating head injury, co-founded Thee Block with Aaron Brenner and received a signature frame from Verde. To formally introduce said frame to the world, here’s Tony’s latest hammer video part featuring bangers on bangers performed with that casual style Neyer is known for.
Fernando Laczko and his brother Antonio have played the old one two between Spain and Germany most of their young lives and after spending a big chunk of 2015 in cold and wet Germany they were more than ready to return to Spain in the Search For Sun – needless to say they got busy and made the most of that firey ball of energy. Filmed in Seville, Malaga and Ibiza by Fernando Marmolejo.
