Rudimental – Waiting all Night Featuring Ella Eyre

April 4, 2013

This is pretty amazing. This band Rudimental put together a music video for their song “Waiting All Night” that tells the story of Kurt Yeager’s story from losing his leg to getting back on a BMX after busting his ass to make it happen. This video also features the likes of Ryan Metro, Jimmy Levan, Aaron Nardi, Just Allen and Danny Downey. I HIGHLY suggest you give this a watch since it’s pretty amazing.

“The official video for ‘Waiting All Night’ is the inspirational true life-story of San Francisco born BMX champion and actor – Kurt Yaeger, who became an amputee after an accident in 2006.
All the characters in the clip are pro bmx’ers and the real friends of Kurt.

Waiting All Night feat Ella Eyre is out April 14th, pre-order here: http://smarturl.it/WANep

Story Behind The Photo: Jimmy Levan & The Chainless Tooth

I’ll be honest and say I never knew this photo was chainless. That makes it so much more gnarly.

“Jimmy Levan tell the behind the scenes story about his first tooth hanger photo that he shot for an Odyssey BMX ad. It just so happened to be in the dark and he was missing his chain at the time. Photo by Justin Kosman” – Crooked World

DuFFS Houston Trip

April 11, 2011

“Earlier this year, the DuFFS BMX team, consisting of Jimmy Levan, Jake Seeley, Alex Magallan and Kevin Porter, departed on a team trip that was supposed to wound through Houston, Texas and continue on into the deep South. Unexpectedly, the team never made it past Houston.

Instead, they remained in the Bayou City, and rediscovered what Houston had to offer. In the above video, the DuFFS gets it done on Houston soil. The trip is also depicted in issue 150 of Ride UK Magazine (Kevin Porter wrote the story and Walter Pieringer shot the photos), which is on newsstands now. Video courtesy of the DuFFS BMX crew.” – ESPN

ESPN – Jimmy Levan – Head Trauma

April 1, 2011

Jimmy Levan has an interview over on ESPN where he talks about all the struggles he has had from head injuries in the past. Needless to say, Jimmy is one hell of a badass. Anyone who has died and come back to life more than once is an ultimate beast and an endless supply of respect goes his way for continuing to ride. Get over to ESPN and check out this interview and wear a helmet, you won’t regret it.
