Dave Mirra (1974 to 2016) was an American BMX rider who also competed in rallycross racing. He set the record for most medals in BMX Freestyle at the X Games, later tied by Scotty Cranmer, and won at least one BMX medal at the event in every year from its inception in 1995 until 2009 except one. He rode for and was fully sponsored by Haro Bikes from the mid 1990s until he started his own bike company, and he competed for several years in rallycross with the Subaru Rally Team USA. He was also a member of the team that won the four person male under 50 category of the 2014 Race Across America. He died on 4 February 2016 and was posthumously inducted into the BMX Hall of Fame on 11 June 2016.
