RIP Greenville. The Emerald City Has lost its lustre. First time I saw Dave ride I was walking to the bars tripping my balls off on Acid. It was night and he was riding the wall on 1st street kinda across from the town commons. The whole experience made me question reality. I kid you not. I was this is not humanly possible. I shared a back yard With Donnie god I can remember them fools had me woke up in the morning with the sound of him and his brother dropping in. Wow Donnie had a ramp even before this doc gives him credit for. I know for a fact he had one max latest would have been when I was 15 so in 83 1984 he always rode a scooter or whatever. Greenville was amazing. I mean I landscaped Dave's mansion then cut his grass as his regular house. Dave would go on golf trips with my pops and just old ass men. He said he would just chill and he couldn't play golf worth a piss and it really really bothered him he was that competitive. Nyquist sold me his original haro at a yard sale. He had wrecked it and hurt himself first time he rode it and he put a big ol lock and chain on it. Dude was so humble he sold that bike to me for 70 bucks. What a time to be alive. All these dudes were just awesome. No judgement in Greenville. Party hard for young whatever that was truly the attitude. PeaCe
Used to look up to Mirra when I was young. He grew up about 10 mins from me and we rode the same skatepark. I remember knowing about him and then the very first time seeing him at the skatepark, meeting and getting to ride with him. Really glad I had a chance to know him.
I used to ride as a kid with mates, on the local dirt track on our mountain bikes, when dave mirra 2 came out and I played it, the bmx dream was born. Ended up riding for 10 years until I had kids and swapped my bmx for a car but for that decade, riding around town all day and night, going back to friends, getting the beers in, watch some bmx/skate vids, xgames or playing matt hoffman 2, they were some of the best years I could've asked for and it all started with one guy. Mirra.
Im glad i found this...these guys effected my life alot..thanks..i rode n worked at bike shops..n..rode my ass off...i remember getting a blamo a couple months after it came out..from a friend that worked at the same bike shop...i rode..my teenage years..when these guys where big..n..rode till 2017..i lost my right leg...i miss riding so much
Wow and I grew up in VA just a few hours from this and never knew it while I was shredding the pavement in NoVa wishing we had ramps and a park... I missed out on a great opportunity, how my life might have turned out differently..... RIP Legends of BMX, thanks for all the wows.
i always loved dave mirra. ever since i was a little hoodlum bmx'r in the mean streets on NY thinking i was the man when i could jump higher than anyone else on the dirt ramps we had all over town. (but i couldnt 360 to save my life).. I never knew Dave Mirra was the reason Greenville was on the map. I also never knew he was from NY. i figured he was from Cali like almost everyone else. To watch this though was awesome. so much awesome knowledge packed into this video. whoever made it is amazing. and so many people love it. Bmx will always be my life. even though i havent had a bike since it was stolen a few years ago, and now im so hurt at 34 y/o that i can barely walk most days. But that bmx mindset will always be who i am. and it was because of dave mirra and ryan nyquist more than any other pro name. RIP Dave Mirra. RIP Colin Winkelman NEVER forgotten. My great grandkids will be forced to watch your videos on their holographic mind projection devices. as long as im alive their memory will never die.
I recall being the biggest Mike Dominguez fan...then came Matt Hoffman and wow, how he changed the sport! Then Dave started beating Matt at the X-Games and how could you not love this guy? Amazing style, incredible airs and ballsy like nobody's business. These guys and many more have progressed the sport to a level I never thought was possible when I rode back in the 80's. This was an excellent video, thanks for all involved who put it together. Dave was a legend of legends, RIP
Mike Dguez was my first BMX hero, then Hoffman and then Mirra as well, I just added Dennis McCoy that was my other hero in flatland too but all those guys inspired us to follow their steps, and will never be forgotten...
When I was around 7 dave mirra bunny hopped over me and some friends and I just remembered how it was the greatest thing I’ve ever seen, but now he’s gone but I still have good memories
The way they talk about everyday riding and having fun by pushing each other to see if we can do more and harder tricks with what feels like no worries I truly do miss. Good old days
I spent my childhood at Jaycee Park. Lived right behind eastern elementary and spent many days watching Dave and the boys killing it. He was the coolest guy and never hesitated to talk with you and give you tips. One of the best times of my childhood right there at that park. RIP Dave mirra
I was born Greenville in 60s.. Grew up a few blocks from Jaycee Park....We had a whole crew of kids with dirt bikes in the late 70s that rode all around that area...so many great places to ride.....left in 82 came back in 99...Grimsland and Washington right down the street..Waterskiing and beer all weekend..Always a fun place with lots of women....So glad I grew up there.....Its so cool seeing these kids enjoying what we all knew about GVegas! 20 years prior...
I was down visiting Jaycee Park on Tuesday. It was great to walk such a legendary spot. I had the privilege of hanging out with Scott Wirch and Scooter Don a few years ago while I was photographing the Trans Jam BMX tour. Good guys for sure. It's a shame I didn't get the chance to meet Dave, but still...it's awesome to be close to where so many legends got their start. Long live BMX.
I grew up on my BMX bike, I saw so many videos during the 90's, Dave was a real miracle with what he did on his bike! He was BMX! So great to see this video nearly 25 years later, especially after what hast happened. Thanks for showing!
Thank you so freaking much for posting this. I'm born and bred North Carolina. 45 mins from pro town. Glad to see some history of my back yard. Thanks again
What a bloody amazing documentary. I never understood the significance of Greenville, and I used to think all the 90's bmx was Gumby, now that I'm almost 30 those OG bmx riders look more nuts and skilled than half of the psychos we have out there today. I really do appreciate all the hard work these guys put in to make bmx what it is Love from Aus ❤️
weird to hear Dave talk about Colin's death. A couple years later Dave dose the same thing. Im still hurt by these guys cant imagine how there family's feel.
yeah because for these guys when they get old they cant do the one thing they love anymore. BMX takes more of a toll on you than skaeboarding or any other xtreme sport. when the bike hits you or you crash over the bars you get really screwed up. so these guys get older and cant compete anymore, cant do the same tricks anymore. go watch the tony hawk video of him at 50 years old trying to do the 900 again, he falls like 30 times and is about to give up. because when you get older you just cant do what you did when you were younger. these guys got to see the best times and the worst times and unfortunately they cant handle the bad times.
@@Runescape. mirra developed a brain disease from too many concussions which really messes with peoples brains when they get it rip Dave Mirra rip Colin Winkelmann
“Colin Winkleman was crazy” is an understatement. I was at Central Skate park when Props was filming Road Fools 7. Colin did this air to wall tap and back in(watch the video, it made the edit) that I still cannot understand how he did it. It was so huge. He and Dave were good dudes. RIP...
Moving to Greenville to go to ECU I assumed the only great things to touch that town were the school and the Vidant health facilities. So cool to see some rich history from the action sports world and how it was such a big contribution to what bmx is today.
how many emotions can one go through in 45 minutes and 26 seconds? I am actually older than some of my heros and it doesn't bother me at all... These guys are the real super athletes of the world, even moreso than the moto-crossers.... RIP D&C... The world is STILL watching you!!!
2nd or 3rd time watching this! Love it and wish I could have been so lucky as to have lived in Greenville with those legends during that time. A friend of mine, Lane George, was one of those kids who was fortunate enough to be there. Thanks so much for posting this documentary, it's such a treat to see. RIP Colin and Dave.
You guys knocked it out the park with this little video of such a historic place and talented pioneers ! Rest In Peace Dave and Colin! I see also why Ty Mo went there to get huge with his riding too. Bunch of ramp destroyers!
Thank you so much for this. I’m a regular at Jaycee, My friends and I skate there typically every night so this was nice. Also went to Dave’s house when I was elementary school. Rest In Peace to the man himself.
Miron, nyquist, mirra, hoffman, dmc, tabron, bestwick, are the utter legends. There are so many legit stars that i will never fortet. My favourite dirt rider was butler, my favourite street rider was the boss of 2hip rick. My favorite vert rider is easy matt.
We had same scene but with skateboarding thru the 80’s. I had a schwinn “predator” bmx always dreaming of the Hutch “Trickstar” but we fell in love with the skateboard. I always wanted bmx to grow but we were from a small town and couldnt afford $1k for bikes! We just needed $50 bux every couple weeks for a new deck & tape and we were good. We had local a shop/park with 6’ half pipe, 4’ spine ramp,& 10’ vert ramp & it was heaven! I miss the 80’s so bad because this was the best of times!#RememberWhen#BMX#🛹#the80’sRule
Bmx thrives when you have people giving back to their bmx community. The Greenville scene was simply guys putting effort into their scene and this small town has turned into one of the most famous places in the sport.
In high school on the outer banks, trips to G'ville were like going to LA or NYC, I knew from my junior year that I was gonna move there as soon as I graduated! So many loose chicks, dirt cheap pizza, etc... I think ECU was number 1 on Playboy's top party school list for a few years in a row?! Such a fun plac for being such a small town!
Dave and Haro saved BMX in the 90s and early 2000s like Eddie Fiola did for GT and Woody Itson did did for Hutch Trevor Hernandez and the rest of the OGs in the late 70s and 80s but those guys from the '80s even though they did set the bar will never be as good as technical and as fearless as Dave mirra or Ryan Nyquist or Matt Hoffman or any of those guys. If you've never visited this town and you're on the East Coast then it's a must check it out. Greenville North Carolina is awesome. I'm from Charleston South Carolina which isn't but a few hours away. These guys revolutionized BMX as we know it today right down the road from my house. I'm 49 years old and still ride. Great video guys one of the best I've seen so far
It's so crazy how many of these guys I got see ride back in the day. My regular parks were Chenga World the original and the new one and Section 8. So many good riders came out of there it was a cool time!
Does anyone from the Greenville crew remember doing a (2) bike show at Bikes USA in Durham, NC in 1998 or 1999? You all brought the whole crew and ramps. We closed off the parking lot for (2) days and Dave, Tim, Laird and a bunch of others performed and then Dave signed autographs in the bike shop, right around the time Dave's new Haro bike line came out (Mirra Pro). It was absolutely awesome and I share it with my kids all the time.
@@steveiridebikes I don't recall DK being there but definitely Eastern and Haro "unofficially". It was awesome! All the guys were great, put on a great show and Dave was fantastic, performing and with the crowd
@@steveiridebikes No shit! Not sure if this is your FB handle or not: @OurBMX · Media/News Company , but I just posted some pics to it. The posting name is Vito Malara, fake for some shit I'm doing to expose my kids school board and school system. My name is Scott Mineo
🤘🏾I had the pleasure of meeting a lot of these guys back in the day, great times & memories , Steve Nowak and I worked together at RAMPAGE SKATE PARK & often rode street together & had great after hours sessions at the park, damn those were the best days of my life, getting old sucks lol !!! R.I.P. DAVE & COLLIN I’ll always remember the crew of ATL guys I rolled with !!!!
damnnnnn....when u look @ sumin like this. you don’t wana know anything about new riders today, ‘metaphorically’ speaking, respect to all. Enjoyed this so much. They made it so big TOO. Woww. I only wonder where is mr matt Hoffman in the middle of all these? lol
The warehouses and the park at jc were all sick. And I think there's some shots of it but that dirt track In the woods was right behind were I lived as a kid. It's cool seeing how it all came together bc I didn't see it till after it was all built up
I've lived in nc my intire life, in hickory and never knew all the pros live a few hours away. 31 years and I could have been riding with them the whole time. I'm going to Greenville for sure....
Gaston county here. Been out of riding for many years, but the last few I’ve been tripping out on all the stuff on YT I’m finding. Still have my 1st gen PK Ripper. Well, the frame,,, in storage,,, damn I want to put something together and ride,,,, better update my health insurance first,,, lol
So what has happened to the warehouse within the past year? I looked it up and can’t seem to find a clear answer. I saw it was dubbed the BMX House in 2011 but it looks like a new business bought the building and remodeled it…
All those parts where they were In the woods at some dirt jumps I live right next to it and am happy to inform you that we are still keeping it up maybe even better than they did
Dude, Steve Nowak!?! I still have two of Airborne Bikes Quality Sales & Service flyers. Once I bought a set of Eastern wheels from him out of his house and he took me and my British friend to burger king for lunch. Oh man, the 90s memories.
That was a trip down memory lane!
R.I.P. Colin & Dave

I missed out on a great opportunity, how my life might have turned out differently.....
RIP Legends of BMX, thanks for all the wows.
One of the greatest documentaries ever. They truly took over Greenville. Feeding off each other. The dedication, fun, passion and skill.
Watching this bring back so much memory. These new generation don’t know how lucky they are now lol, our bikes were heavy
Wow. Remembering my childhood room full of Ride BMX posters and bmx plus posters.

Great memories,my time for riding...still to this day...rest in piece Dave ❤
Mirra/Nyquist did a great job with bmx turning it into a soap opera.

This was absolutely amazing. It's a shame there's still no park in Syracuse
Cool video!!!
Amazing documentary, thanks for posting it.
damnnnnn....when u look @ sumin like this. you don’t wana know anything about new riders today, ‘metaphorically’ speaking, respect to all.
Enjoyed this so much. They made it so big TOO. Woww. I only wonder where is mr matt Hoffman in the middle of all these? lol
Wow, I used to ride with Don Wigent. That scooter. So many memories.
The warehouses and the park at jc were all sick. And I think there's some shots of it but that dirt track In the woods was right behind were I lived as a kid. It's cool seeing how it all came together bc I didn't see it till after it was all built up
WTF!
Outstanding quality material and no one told me.
I've lived in nc my intire life, in hickory and never knew all the pros live a few hours away. 31 years and I could have been riding with them the whole time. I'm going to Greenville for sure....
Love from LKN bro
I’m from Raleigh and I said the same thing to my wife
Gaston county here. Been out of riding for many years, but the last few I’ve been tripping out on all the stuff on YT I’m finding.
Still have my 1st gen PK Ripper. Well, the frame,,, in storage,,, damn I want to put something together and ride,,,, better update my health insurance first,,, lol
Great vid, was a trip down memory lane for sure.
The fact ive rode that back in the day with the Dowell brothers ...
EXCELLENT DOCUMENTARY!!!...🤟🏽😃
Really sorry about there friend I don't if it was mental health illness but very sorry .for dave .no words
It's pretty cool that you posted this at the end of October because Halloween in Greensville is F'n dope. Check it out if you ever get the chance.
First song was in the bmx dirty east contest at the flow skatepark in 06. Instant nostalgia lol
So what has happened to the warehouse within the past year? I looked it up and can’t seem to find a clear answer. I saw it was dubbed the BMX House in 2011 but it looks like a new business bought the building and remodeled it…
He was the best and still is in my book!
All those parts where they were In the woods at some dirt jumps I live right next to it and am happy to inform you that we are still keeping it up maybe even better than they did
Flynn Nease Where about are they located? I’m a Greenville resident as well.
Kody Cyr actually just last month someone started building a house on the land and the leveled it all out 😢😢😢
I got out of riding in 1990, I was a flatlander. Never heard of this place. Nice video
Thank you for uploading this
I lived right beside the park in twin oaks never knew how legendary it was
This was at the height of my BMXing. Boy were those the good old days😊
Seen this back in the day so good
Exactly how old is this documentary?
@Michael Villalovos, thank you🙏
Dude, Steve Nowak!?! I still have two of Airborne Bikes Quality Sales & Service flyers. Once I bought a set of Eastern wheels from him out of his house and he took me and my British friend to burger king for lunch. Oh man, the 90s memories.
RAD!
Cuts me up hearing about Colin. And then when Dave talks about Colin that cuts me deep too.
Thank you for this...
What year was this doco made? Some golden years of BMX here. RIP Dave & Colin
