No suspension, no pads, HUGE gap!
What do you think?

can you say crazy
I saw that guy do a backflip w/o a helmet @ the Gathering 2 years ago...
that was posted along time ago in the bmx forum, but i never noticed the ground sloping down on the landing...its not as impressive now...still nuts but i have seen skateboarders go from afew feet less than that to flat...nuts
Can you imagine what this guy could do on a full sus? Maybe we should leave the crazy urban riding to the bmxers as God intended...
Maybe this is why the majority of guys that have been riding bmx for 15 years think urban mountain bikers are goons...
I really don't understand the no helmet thing, but I guess that is another discussion.
^^^ I like your avatar. When I saw that my jaw just dropped!
You maybe think that a lot of the people riding freeride/urban came from a BMX background? Maybe they just decidied they like the big bikes better for whatever reason?greenhood said:
BTW, whenever the BMX vs MTB comes up people can point to examples of both that seemingly one-ups the other. Niether is better than the other.
From a guy that rode BMX from 5 to 17 and again from 23-27. That collectively adds up to over 15...
PS, people that do that type of stuff with out at least a helmet are dumb. They are second only to Mags/Online "e-zines" that publish pictures/vidoes of them doing it with out a helmet.
I hope he never learns how dumb that is.

wow, that's all I have to say
Just a little ridiculous. Especially for not have any pads or helmet.
Thats just insane
when I first saw that I thought it was to flat
even if someone with pads did that, it would still be pretty crazy

Never mind the helmet...where's the style?
seriously! where's the double tailwhip to tripple barspin turndown?

Jimmy Kills It Dude...
thats ****ing sick, bmx'ers ****ing are raw
I wasent embaressed, I was impressed. I would serously like to know were that is, I might be able to hit it on my dully. I bet its even bigger in person tough, have to see how the trainny looks. Anyone know were it is please P.M. me.
Very impressive, I'm not smooth enough to hit that with a parachute.
It didn't embarrass me in the slightest. It kinda makes my ankles hurt though.
Isnt that Jimmy Levan?
No matter, helmets are nice.

IF YOU AINT GOT STEEZ, YOU GONNA GET HATED ON SO BAD.
That's so crazy. In my opinion bmxer's and rollerbladers are the most raw/insane athletes in the world.

fruit booters are pretty crazy but it seams easyer than skateboarding and bmx somehow.
thats pretty big!!! that would be fun to stick a 3ft wooden kicker on top and sesh that with hartails!
I almost got into it. Way to instense/hard to get good at though. It seems easy "all you have to do is jump". It's like the hardest activity ever though. So insane.fuzzycatnuts said:
That landing looked like it would hurt, especially on a BMX! Props to that guy for doing the jump though. I probably wouldn't even do that on a DH bike, landing on pavement scares me.
What does embarass this Seattle freerider is when other Seattle freeriders don't pack out what they bring to the trails. There's no logical excuse for it.
Give a hoot, don't pollute!
Fruit booters?
Why should this embarass Seattle riders? Jimmy Levan is from the mid west and he traveled all the way out here to ride. Stand up and be proud. If he doesn't want to wear pads and a helmet, that's his choice not yours!
It's not about the pads or helmet. It's the fact that he hit a gap on a bmx bike that most freeriders wouldn't hit without at least 8 inches of travel.
So I was wondering if there is any Seattle Freeriders, since the drop/gap is in Seattle, would/should step up, go ridgid and replicate that stunt?
