———————————

As BMX evolved from the 1980’s into the 1990’s, a whole new generation of companies and riders rose to the forefront of the industry, forever changing its future.

Caught up in the fold was a young BMX racer from Louisville, Kentucky named James Menard LeVan. Along with his sister Susie, the pair traversed the ranks of the Midwest US racing scene, supported my their Mom’s ragtag track-side business.

After getting bored with pedaling fast around a track, Jimmy transitioned into dirt jumping and street riding, and soon found himself caught up in the mix as outside corporate companies entered BMX in the mid-90’s.

Using skills learned from years on the racetrack, Jimmy soon found himself at the helm of his own brand of street riding – jumping large gaps – which would ultimately elevate him to legend status within the expanding BMX scene, via Props Video Magazine and the pages of DIG BMX Magazine. ’Levangelism’ was born

With the “Midschool” era in full effect at the turn of the century, the BMX world was soon transformed as new rider-owned companies emerged, including Jimmy’s own brand Metal Bikes.

As the years went on, a string of bad injuries would plague Jimmy as his riding career began to slow down, until a fateful skateboard accident would forever change his world.

“Go Fast Pull Up” takes a look at Jimmy’s amazing story while stepping through important moments in BMX’s colorful history along the way.

Jimmy Levan – “Go Fast Pull Up” Trailer

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

Metal Bikes – Lost Tapes: 1999 – 2006

February 27, 2015

Talk about a Flashback Friday! DIG just dropped this video Sean Burns put together from lost Metal Bikes footage that Jimmy Levan was sitting on! Hit that play button to see some GOLD that was just waiting to be seen, then hit the DIG website for more photos and words!

““Between Dead Bang getting done and starting on the Bone Deth DVD between 2007 and 2008, I helped Jimmy Levan organize quite a bit of footage. Going through tapes he might not have ever known he still had or even recorded. I recently logged all the tapes that had ended up in my hands and found some interesting clips. Dating from 1999 to 2006. All solid years for Metal Bikes. From classic metal riders like Mike Griffin to Ryan Metro to probably the first ever Metal road trip with Jimmy, Sandy Carson, Mike Lausman and Mike Griffin.” – Sean Burns
