What can be said about Dave Mirra that hasn't been said before? Not much. The dude loves to ride his bike and he puts a new one together whenever he feels like it. For the latest spec on his bike you should read on for his bike check. Yup, he's off to Metro too.
How many Metro Jams have you visited prior to the Singapore one?
Answer: I’ve been to one in Toronto.
What are you expecting of the trip?
