About Mike: Mike Zweigle, died tragically on Dec. 17, 2010 in an automobile accident. He lived his short 19 years
to the fullest. Mike was an avid skateboarder and snowboarder. He would love that his memory lives on through
this Memorial Jam and the Rob Dyrdek Foundation, Safe Spot, Skate Spot. Mike was a friend to all and is missed by
so many. He was a vibrant and funny person who always had a smile and a joke to share. He was very generous
and put his family and friends first. So, on Oct 1st we will put his memories first. The theme song for the event is
“Dancing in the Moonlight” which was one of his favorite songs and summed up the type of person he was—
carefree and a little silly.
