We’re still building a dealer base to sell Mirraco, but in a month or two there should be about a thousand of them out there. A lot of dealers (but not all) will also be Trek dealers. Why Trek you ask? Because they’re the biggest bike company in the US, they have a great distribution network, and the dealers like ‘em. If we’re going to get Mirraco products out there and into a store near you, we need somebody who doesn’t screw around.

Dave Mirra is all over the place. He will be in Portland, Oregon for the Dew Tour but as a commentator while he’s healing up from his gnarly X-Games crash. Guettler and Cleveland will make a presence at the Vans Invitational too as is Mirraco’s art guy Sean Hargraves who will be taking some photos that you can see on the Mirraco website shortly after the comp. It won’t surprise you that Dave Mirra is all over the internet. You can stay up to date by reading the Mirra Blog on the Oxy website and while you’re there, you can also view a few clips of Dave riding his bike and keeping it smooth.

“Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to compete in the X Games this year. I spent it in the hospital instead, feeling like I had been hit with a baseball bat 50 times over. I got a grade 2 liver laceration during Park practice right before the X Games started. It is a huge bummer since I have been in the competition for the past 11 years.”

Dave continues: “It was the first hour of park practice. I was just starting to warm up. I jumped a big step up. I was doing that 5 or 6 times, just feeling it out—getting used to the course. One of the times I did a hang-up. I was sitting on my tire because I was leaning back so far. That stopped my bike. I was straight over the bars, and then I hit the ground. It’s like diving in a 16-foot pool without any water in it. It was definitely the gnarliest crash I’ve had on my bike. I was pretty sore from my neck to my waist. It felt like I broke all my ribs. I thought for sure I collapsed a lung. I couldn’t breath, couldn’t get any air. I was thinking, man, my chest must’ve caved in. I know my injuries and how much I can take, but this time I couldn’t even stand up.”
