Making Protown Greenville, North Carolina in the BMX community is more commonly known as "Protown". This is due to the large amount of contest-riding BMX pros living there.[citation needed] In the 1990s, Mirra's brother, Tim Mirra, moved to Greenville where there was virtually no BMX scene.[citation needed] Mirra was looking to get out of New York, so he decided to move down to Greenville. Not long after, fellow professional BMX rider Ryan Nyquist moved in with him. Mirra and Nyquist became quick friends and would build ramps and ride them. Many pros moved to Greenville which is reportedly now home to over twenty professional BMX riders.[citation needed] Image File history File links Broom_icon. ...
