Jimmy Levan’s Church Gap.

by: adam |


If you haven’t already seen this, you are pretty much a loser. But that being said, it’s worth reminding yourself that Jimmy Levan is in fact, the man. The Morales/Moliterno drama that pre-faces it is sort of funny only because it brings to mind a simpler time in BMX when sponsor/rider relations were casually aired out in Road Fools, not vaguely Tweeted about on the interwebz. One thing is for certain, big ass gaps never go out of style and the fact that nobody has thrown a trick over the church gap (right?) 10 years later says a lot about how big it is.

This is another one I saw on In The Gnar.

    is this intentionally topical? are you saying that robo has problems with everyone one of his sponsors/industry relationships since univega? or are you implying that all the companies he has ridden for are mean to him and try to screw him over?

    i hate when people are mean to bob.
