Jay Miron vs Dave Mirra- X games 2001 bmx vert

[@venox22]

This run of Mirra's would win contests now! That sort of riding is what makes him the greatest of all time!

[@MOUNTAINOUS]

yep no one does it like that even today.

[@axelthegod6417]

Was about to say the same thing

[@BadassClassics]

That run was pure magic. RIP King.

[@jtm232556]

Golden era of X-Games, man. Always loved Jay Miron. 540 tailwhips are the sexiest vert trick of all time, in my opinion.

[@Fifty_bmx]

sick contest! Miron is a beast!! but that run Mirra did was one of the best ever!

[@GolfSux]

The fact that he can huck that high for that long on that bike is impressive. I had a mirra frame and they were tanks. Came here for Miron though. Guy is a monster.

[@kgauchel]

blows my mind to see them do this back then with these heavy bikes

[@ThePantyDroper]

I am an old school bmxer. I still have my bmx from 11 years ago. It weighs 38 lbs but to me that seems fine. Kids these days complain about anything over 26 lbs or so.

[@flatlandrory]

***** same here dude. I had a Mirra 540 which weighed 38lbs. Was so heavy! Rode it better than I do on my Grim Reaper. Harold knee saver bars. I could actually ride better on a heavy bike. Bunny hopped over a tennis court net on it! Serious weight!

[@adamboyle3331]

When Mirra would throw the bar and catch it with one hand and do that little tweak move. People claim he was just a trick guy but he had serious yet subtle style too.

[@turt1e016]

RIP Dave Mirra He is was and will be loved by BMX riders and every one around him.

[@mackybmx]

Gutted Over Mirra... Still Can't Believe it... So Glad for these uploads!!

[@byarts]

+macky yeah thank god that these uploads exsist

[@heathlang6658]

Jay Miron went huge on his 540 whip and double whip. Dave Mirra definitely created the consistency of runs/lines on how competitions are done today.

[@ronalddakake6413]

Mirra's riding is legendary. No one could touch him at the time and this run would still hold weight today.

[@JackHY2K]

I was deeply saddened the day Dave Mirra passed away (Feb 4, 2016). He was a great BMX biker and I enjoyed playing his PS1 game as a child. Gone but never forgotten.

[@cinellixa]

Mirra had style in vert. Wow!! Gotta get me a haro mid school bmx.

[@regwright1716]

Man the progression of bmx when i first started riding till now is awesome. Back in the day these two were up there in my top ten best riders. Jay miron was more dirt than halfpipe. Dave mirra just rips on vert. These were the best days being young and watching x games. And riding my local park with my bmx buddies. How time flys.....rest in peace dave. You were an inspiration to me and my mates. I'll never forget those days and how i felt riding bmx...such good times..

[@euanewen5555]

Golden age of BMX. RIP.

[@JacobHopeTXL]

IN HONOR OF MIRRA'S PASSING TODAY, THIS RUN IS CRAZY

[@ef4331]

What a great run.. This is another level even by today standard 👍

[@FreeCycle]

The best of the best on Vert for 2001...

[@cameronhoyle3735]

This is when BMX vert was magic.... Mirra and Mi ron battle's, Brilliant days

[@BOOMBIKE]

Nice video, Mirra is the man.

[@dockilat5576]

BMX during the 80s influenced my Downhill MTB racing at present and I'm 43 now!

[@Lee.Willcox]

Watching Jay and Dave back in the day was epic. Then Jamie Bestwick came onto the scene and Dave really had to crank it up and he did. R.I.P Dear fellow. We miss you 🥰😘🤗

[@littlelarry2912]

My buddy rode in the first few Xgames and I went out with him, Jay Miron, and some others in the late 90's. Miron duct taped 40's of beer to both of his hands the entire night. Haha never seen anything like it in my life. At the time he could drink like a champ

[@Pistonpedal]

I was always a Miron fan (Canadian)..... but when Dave came out I was like: Shit... at least Canada placed second! RIP Dave, always an inspiration to me.

[@mootkickee]

back then, nobody went as high and smooth as Dave. Even those corkscrew flairs, he was actually gaining speed he was landing them so high. Miss him so much. Miron was a beast but, so good to see him killing it now making custom furniture

[@mackybmx]

Absolutely Buzzing that you uploaded this!!! I had this on tape.. worn it out watching it so much!! haha! :)

[@robertlee8400]

I use to ride a Haro back when I was a kid , I had 5 of them FSX, SPORT , 1989 TEAM MASTER W/BASH GUARD , AIR MASTER W/BASH GUARD & MASTER W/FLAT BOTTOM BASH GUARD . Haro use to sponcer the best of the best to ride for them & im proud to say Dave rode a Haro most of his life intill he started his own bike company ....RIP DAVE YOU ARE SADDLY MISSED

[@jtm232556]

Back when everyone did a little flatland as well. Good ol' days!

[@robertlee8400]

@@jtm232556 Hell I did it all , flatland , vert , street , dirt . It was all fun & game even if someone got hurt , days of futures past , great times .

[@emilycapehart8959]

Rest in Peace Champion.

[@neonnerd1364]

The absolute best era in BMX. Hands down.

[@sjf1981]

Mirra always made vert ramp so smooth. One of the best styles ever of vert

[@i_am_riley]

These guys rode tanks and getting air like that still amazes me

[@robertcooney1938]

Mirra and Miron are LEGENDS.

[@d_ruggs]

no one rode like dave. he assaulted the ramps. I dont think anyone hucks as many tricks in a run as he did, he tricked everytime he went up the ramp here, except maybe 3. that's rare still today

[@ridingcdaoveritfilms8892]

I miss good bmx like this

[@adamboyle3331]

Dave just did more trick in a run than anyone else and was the first to start seriously incorporating oppo tricks

[@AshBash]

RIP Dave. Legend.

[@seawellcush4293]

Two of the best all time no doubt rest in peace big air dave

[@polloloci21]

Had a nice conversation with Mirra back in 2014. He was a really nice dude. 😭

[@paullambert6485]

I think these two runs were the pinnacle for vert .

[@Henryistoochill]

RIP Dave Mirra

[@joshg6219]

You cut off the results, I had forgotten who won this.. so could someone please reply with who won this, thanks in advance 🙃

[@xTD27]

i would be surprised if anyone was as good as him ib 2017

[@MasterMex1]

Dave mirra smooth tricks Landed

[@ThehulkGreen]

Jay was so damn great. Mirra is the best ever.

[@franciscovargas6366]

La bestia canadiense,muy bueno en esos tiempos

[@monstermike1244]

At 2:29 that small excerpt was from Fox Racings Wrath Child but Rip Dave Mirra always a Legend.

[@ytscksdabig1]

Mirra just couldn't be touched.

[@izraelurbane]

0:25 master piece

[@mattforbes5808]

was that a barspin toboggan ?! @ 1:48

[@jsbmx2039]

Those runs were so long

[@oneandonlyjaybee]

Oh Dave!!!

[@wricey]

here is a question, on Dave Mira's game you could play as Tim mirra . did his bro ever compete or was he just in there as a sort of dedication?

[@jtm232556]

Tim was a pro as well, just not a top contender like his brother.

[@UppurMGMT]

Yup I’m here too..

[@saltyseasseaspirit7093]

BRING BACK VERT.

[@bclarke14]

Machine.

[@jameskennedy5799]

No one can fuck with the 540 tailwhip tho

[@slybedonie9325]

Count the walls of tricks... miron vs mirra.... 11 walls miron dave did 26 walls of tricks...

[@johnnybikesalot]

:( so sad

[@ssbj144]

Such a shame that both have now stopped riding bmx..

[@DaWiTtLeR]

Memoirs

[@MrMiguella]

You know a halfpipe is shit when you can hear the ribs under the tyres.

[@Sir_Leelord]

i think miron deserved that battle. he busted out 2 badass tricks to mirra's 10 little ones

[@robertocorrea4032]

Little One? flair , flair opposite, doublebar, bar to one Hand (regular and opposite). Bar to Suicide no Hand, CanCan Tailwhip...........IcePick, Manual, Hang Up Little One?

[@robertocorrea4032]

I agree with you. Mirra was huge. Flow. Big combinations, Nowadays just mirra would beat Jamie Bestwick, Maybe Steve Mccan.

[@juanm-td4ks]

+Roberto Corrêa word mate.... the good old days, real BMX legends ! Bestwick was nowhere to be seen man... by the way, he's a good rider, that's all... he's just a follower, always has...always will, I saw HOFMAN enough said

[@atheistmoe5528]

1:00

[@joshuakong9204]

How did he die? I cant believe i didnt hear about it. Also to the canadian beast miron was always the man doing what he did with the injuries he had while doing his crazy fan pleasing tricks in every different categories of competitions was just one of things that made him so unique. Dave mirra just did the same runs over again and again flair to grind to flair, he was good but he was no miron.

[@icewalow_come9700]

Jay Miron is my cousin

[@dowestern6729]

Can you arange a autographe im really looking for one of my heroes! Im fixing a Schwinn hydramatic now
