Rider Down

According to the FBM website (aka Steve Crandall), Metal Bikes head honcho and toothpick master Jimmy Levan "has taken a spill, and is in a hospital with some serious head injuries." Others who were there said the spill took place on a skateboard, and that he may be in a medically induced coma. I'm not sure exactly what to believe at this point. Over the years Jimmy has taken seemingly countless nasty blows to the head and come out no worse for wear. Hopefully, in the end, this one will be no different.

Get well soon. Jimmy. You've got a lot of friends out here.

i was in Tulsa for the Redbull Ditch Jam and everyone was talking about this. Seems like a freak accident. So unfortunate... get well Jimmy.

I still check this like every other day with my ussual bmx sites, lets get some updates! I was looking at your older posts to keep busy and found this quote that made me laugh the first time I saw it;
"But for the past week it hasn't been above 30 much—mostly in the teens with a chill wind—and my bike has been just sitting there mocking me."
