And, given his background, I'd be shocked if there wasn't the possibility of numerous head injuries here too.
This time, I'm not talking football or hockey.
BMX legend Dave Mirra is dead at 41.
Reports are, suicide.
I don't think I need to draw the connection from here. Yes, BMX riders at his level had helmets and all that kind of stuff.
But the massive amount of crashes and the like such riders take would have to take a toll on them physically and mentally.
Some of the football reports have indicated that some of the impacts and damages have approximated motorcycle or car crashes.
So I would not be shocked in the least if Mirra also has CTE, and I don't think anyone (least of all the X-Games Sports and Programming Network) wants to find out.
