November 1, 2017

Check out this new trailer for the Jimmy Levan documentary that’s getting close to completion!

There’s a chance you have heard about the Jimmy Levan documentary that Chris Rye has been working on for the past two years or so now. This story that takes a look back on Jimmy Levan’s life from being a Pro riders to dying and coming back to life a few times and much more is wrapping up and should be dropping in a few months, and it’s bound to be amazing. Here’s a trailer that was released in the new Props Issue 79 that was released last week! This is just a sample of one of the many gnarly stories that will be in this one. Get ready.

“It’s moments like these that make it all worthwhile. Jimmy Levan has been a hero for us at DIG and graced the pages of our magazine from the earliest of days, sending street riding in a whole other direction since Road Fools 1 with those enormous gaps in all sorts of wild outfits. Not only did he create a brand and home for the loosest of riders, and entertained us all through numerous episodes of Props with his antics, but he had an equally outrageous string of accidents that could have ended his life. A true one in a million kinda guy. ‘Go Fast Pull Up’, the story of Jimmy Levan, coming 2018 – a film by Chris Rye.” – DIG
