Go Fast Pull Up: The Jimmy LeVan Story
As BMX evolved from the 80’s to the 90’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 racing scene, supported by 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 found himself caught up in the mix as outside corporate companies entered the industry in the mid-90’s with the launch of the X Games. Using skills learned from years on the racetrack, Jimmy soon found himself at the helm of a new form of street riding – jumping large gaps – which would ultimately elevate him to legend status within the expanding BMX scene. 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 story while stepping through important moments in BMX’s colorful history along the way.

Props BMX: Megatour 10
For the tenth installment of Props Megatour, four BMX teams with over thirty professional riders hit the road for a trip like no other across the great state of Texas. Teams FBM, Sunday Bikes, BSD, and Dude Bird hit up and shred all there is to offer in cities such as Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Houston, and even a quick drive up to Oklahoma City. With a change from previous Megatour editing formats, Megatour 10 features each team in their own stand alone section. After starting the trip at a concrete skate park near Allen, Texas, the teams set off on their own and had free reign to travel wherever they pleased. With endless amounts of good street spots, trails, skate parks, and plenty of wild personalities present, the fun never ends. Team FBM brings it home at nearly 30 minutes in length, with lots of trails, some innovative street spots and plenty of wild commentary from the likes of Steve Crandall and Darryl Nau. Sunday Bikes brings out some heavy hitters to the road for their section, with legends such as Gary Young and young guns like Alex Magellan showing how it's done on the streets. With many team members coming from overseas, BSD does not disappoint with the section they produced. Finally, Dude Bird brings the wild card element with a crew of mostly unknown riders that proceed to kill the streets of Texas with tons of innovative riding as well as some good old fashioned BMX fun and antics. Megatour 10 has a solid mix of spots and riding styles to keep everyone happy. From legendary pros to relatively unknowns hitting everything from street to trails, its all here in Megatour 10.
