RIP SOB
R.I.P
rip bother
Damn shame……RIP
🙂
thanks for posting this…best influence guy on bmx scene 4ever,,RIP
my mom went to school with him and the destroyer fest sounds like something he wouldve done in bethel
Its terrible what happend but that stunt he did was kind of stupid even if he would land on his bike he wouldnt come out unharmed
Colin the legend
good of you to make this video I lived in Greenville for five years and he was a hero to me coming up. lots of love for that man always friendly and pushing it one of the few to visit me at the hospital when i almost died riding
it's extremely weird to watch this and know Dave mirra comitted suiced today
Hearing the News of Dave Mirra reminded me of this…r.i.p.guys
Colin and Dave are probably riding a monster ramp somewhere…rip guys.
At least Colin didn't have any kids (that I know of) so you know what, if you wanna go, as sad as it is if a person wants to off themselves that doesn't bother me, but Mirra had 2 young daughters and that's just a selfish dick move in my opinion. At least they're not in the poor house though and have the whole pro bmx community to help them out with whatever, hopefully they'll get a father figure in their lives…
it's odd how him and Dave mirra were both professional and l were Greenville boys and both committed suicide?? pretty odd
I saw him ride in Hawaii before he passed. Sad deal.
Crazy watching this and seeing Mirra..
RIP too the both of them
Um grande BMX!!
Legend.
Winklemann was a legend at my old skatepark because he blasted the wallride, something like 20', then landed flat and broke the 2 hip pork frame he was riding. Only person to ever snap one of those frames
Colin signed my shirt "Ride hard then Kill Yourself" back in 97. I still have it with Daves on there too. It gives me the chills to look at.
RIP Colin and Dave. There is a plaque at Jaycee Park Skate Park with Colin Winkelmann's name, and a little excerpt about him..that's why. Here.
rip colin, and i really miss 90s man
Damn i remember seeing this accident never knew what happend untill now. RIP MAN
Thank you Losey for making this perfect edit.
Extra thanks for NOT including the footage of that fucked up slam off the van/launch ramp.
I never want to see that clip again.
I spoke with him briefly at an X-Trials comp in Louisville, 1999.
Dude was super kind and friendly to this nobody stranger.
Seeing Mirra in this context made me wonder
if Colin also was suffering from CTE.
He definitely had his share of brain traumas.
But like the man said, "We'll never know why."
RIP to a legendary rider.

It's kind of weird watching Dave Mirra talk about Collin Winkleman's departure. Very sad to lose these guys 😢
Rip Colin. Definitely one of my favorite riders growing up. ❤
