Mirra Images is a collage of Dave Mirra's roller coaster life on and off the halfpipe. Mirra tells the story of growing up on a BMX bike and coming back from a near death hit-and-run accident to chase X Games glory.

Mirra's comeback to BMX freestyle and his collection of X Games medals is told by Dave Mirra himself with the help of Ride magazine editor Mark Losey. Carving flairs, wallride-to-tailwhips, and his record-setting 19-foot air are all illustrated in full color along with never-before-seen photos of Dave and his many hairstyles. This autobiography is an inside look at past and present Dave Mirra with 208 pages of writing and photography that can be found in the archives of BMX Plus!, Ride BMX, and Haro Bikes.
