Jimmy Levan



This is the infamous Jimmy Levan ad that was later spoofed by Homeless Bikes, and then by just about every other BMX company around at that time. 

As of last week, Jimmy Levan has been hospitalized for some serious injuries. You can read more about it and make a contribution here or here

BS-20 Neon

This ad ran back in 1992. Mental Jimmy's later ran another ad stating that the BS-20 was a joke, due to kids calling up wanting chopped up bolt on frames. "By removing half of the rear end we have stiffened the entire area" and "1234 Huffmonium" is still pretty fucking funny.

Riders Ready?


Some of you might know that S&M reissued two styles of the old race jerseys. Knowing they were limited edition, my fatass raced to Santa Ana the day after they came in and Chris told me I was the first to buy one. It was nice getting 1st in a race after all these years. Lord knows I never won shit at Orange Y. Maybe it's because my mom used to feed me candy in hopes that it would jack me up before the races, but by the time it was my turn to "watch the light" I was crashing before the race started.

DIRT Comic


FUN FACT! Remember those clips of Chris Moeller on the Jane Pratt show in 44 Something? Well, Jane Pratt used to eat out Drew Barrymore. You can look it up here if you don't believe me. Anyway, years back before Jane and Drew were tuna helpers, Ms. Pratt ran a magazine for teenage girls called Sassy which also had a spinoff mag for groms called DIRT that happened to be run by the same cats that did GO, but had nothing to do with BMX. Go figure. I don't remember why or where I got this issue back in 91, but I recently found it in storage and flippin through the pages I stumbled on this comic.

P.O.W. Flag


You Are Rotten. I took this picture last year. This is the actual flag from the P.O.W. house in Westminster, CA. If you look close you'll see that it's been Clymerized and it appears to have blood stains on it. A while back I found this link to some pretty cool old stories about the POW house days that Chris Moeller wrote in April of 94.

Dog Bites


Dog Bites was Moeller's column in Go magazine. Go is what we had after Freestylin' and before Ride and Dig. Go also employed Jeff Tremaine(Big Brother/Jackass) as art director and Spike Jonze as photographer who, as you know, later went on to become the Mayor of Hollywood. This Dog Bite is from the June 1990 issue.
