Mirra Images

Mirra Images The book I read was called "Mirra Images" by Dave Mirra. This book takes place all through Dave's life. Some of the competitors he faces during some of his competition are Mat Hoffman which was one of the best riders until Mirra the miracle man. This book influences me by not giving up my dreams or goals in life. Even though you have obstacles in your way. I though that when you suffer from a head injury, you can not recuperate or recover as fast. But Dave Mirra shows that nothing will get in his way to become the best rider in the world. I learn that every thing in life is not easy. So prepare your self. My book was written in a figurative language way.

Perfect For A Fan

The book Mirra Images tells the story of Dave Mirra's life and thankfully told by Dave Mirra. This is a very in-depth book on Dace Mirra's life, the book sorta starts out like a photo album of his with pictures of him and brief but well-written notes on how it bmx came to him and what pushed him to do better. In this book Dave Mirra lets us take a look at his music and film tastes, horrible yet humorous accidents(...drunk driver), sponsors, achievements, records, goals, friends, medals. The book also shows what its like out on the road when touring. Aside from his writtings the book contains photos in more than half of the pages in the book with Dave Mirra doing some of his most daring and explosive tricks such as wallride-to-tailwhip(nuf said) and his groundbreaking record-setting of 19 foot air. The only thing maybe Dave Mirra could discuss more would have to be his school-life and how he helped out with the videogame otherwise this is a thrilling book for all fans. As for some reminders, don't expect any how to's in this book and for those wandering how many pages there are there is 191 pages including pictures. Fans you must buy this, however those new to bmx or have never heard in this daring sport may be interested.
