Jimmy Levan's Hard Luck (Click here for more)

So i guess it's out. yeah, I was minding my own business three weeks ago, riding my bike down the damn bike lane with my friend Grady when an old man in a jeep cuts across a double yellow stripe in the road and into on coming traffic and plows over me. not just a bump, but drug me like 10 or twelve feet into a 7/11 parking lot under his jeep! my face was bashed into the ground and my femur was shattered out the back of my leg compound style. I now have a steel rod for a femur and am still on crutches. i'm kind of used to hurting myself pushing through our world of bmx, but actually doing the right thing, riding in my lane heading south when a north bound truck blasts over the lane divider into your side of the road to almost kill you really sucks! It's been a weird year to say the least- Jimmy Le Van

Fried but so good, like bacon
Maybe its because im stuck at home on a Friday night, sick, but this is the greatest thing I have found on the internet in awhile.
Theremin = coolest instrument ever
So i ran into my buddy Nick today and he was telling me about this contraption you see here, a theremin. Im sure Mike, Bean and the rest of the AOG crew can appreciate this. This thing is fuckin bad, and if you disagree then fuck you. The controlling section usually consists of two metal antennae which sense the position of the player's hands and control radio frequency oscillators for frequency with one hand, and volume with the other. The electric signals from the theremin are amplified and sent to a speaker, presto whammo you got yourself one kick ass instrument. This thing was invented in 1919 and I am just now finding out about it, I feel cheated.
Blown Up Spots
Jay Roe has an interview on ride where he talks about the up coming Kink video. That's all good but it seems he's blowing up the spots here in Tucson, oh well, figures.

Door's cover as only Al Jourgensen could perform
Ministry covers Roadhouse Blues as originally performed by The Doors. For those of you not familiar with Ministry or Al Jourgensen for that matter, I pity you, for your life is that much less exciting. Having never had the experience of driving at too high of speeds to be deemed safe while thrashing around as if in a drug induced seizure, or being head butt in the pit during a Ministry concert barely avoiding unconsciousness. Yes, those are just a couple of the exhilarating experiences that I have been fortunate enough to have had while Ministry was blaring in my earhole at a most definitely unhealthy level. Founded in 1981, Ministry rocked hundreds of thousands of fans harder than witnessing their very own mother gag-balled bent over your favorite childhood rocking horse. Ministry has since broken up so that front man Al Jourgensen can focus his time and energy on his newly formed record label 13th Planet Records. Its a shame than Ministry is no more, but rest assured that big things will come out of his new venture.

Somebody Help Me Get One Of These Bad Boys

This right here folks is vending machine heaven, a mecca for the pocket change enthusiast, a cornucopia of dispersion, if you will. I have no idea where this is but if I did, oh if I did, I wouldn't tell any of you assholes cause that lit up tombstone of Tombstone Pizza would be empty and you'd be tweaking on the bull. Speaking of Red Bull I've come up with a concoction that should surely meet your needs in the sports drink arena. Red Bull + Orange Gatorade, it's called the clicked mix. Enjoy...

Impetus Of Clickedbmx... "The Jason Ryan Interview"
The man you love to hate...Name:
Jason Ryan
Age:
36
Current Location:
Tempe, Arizona. I’m right by the Mesa border, but by the grace of God not in Mesa.
Height:
How high’s the Old School, mama? Six feet one and risin’.
Build:
Large. At least that’s what the ladies tell me.
Current Hair Length:
After I cut my long hair into a mullet and rocked that for 3 long months in 2004 (it was supposed to be only 3 weeks) I got my hair cut short for the first time since 1994. I was a long-hair for ten years and I was ready for a change. I would keep it short now, but I just can’t justify paying for haircuts every 3 months, so sometimes I’ll wait 6 or 9 months to get it cut short again. Plus, changing my hair a lot keeps life interesting.
Trash Stache yes or no?
Not right now. I did it for the premieres of both my films, and of course when I had the mullet. But I’m chillin’ on it right now—attracts too many hillbilly chicks.
When was the last time you saw boobies on the salt river?
Last year. And I didn’t just see ‘em, I sucked on them bitches!
Jason that's not a pimple (click the picture to get full view, or don't doesn't bother me)
Why are you always talking so much shit on the internet?
When I started out with my website, I started talking shit because it’s so much more interesting to say something derogatory about your friends and other riders than to say, “Oh my God, that dude’s so awesome, he flows so good, he has so much style”, and all that dicksuccin’ kind of shit. It was all done in a jocular, good-spirited manner, even though the actual wording could be pretty harsh. The English call it, “Taking the piss out of someone”. Everybody pretty much understood that at first, but then in 2004, Billy Franevsky, KC Badger, and Keebler (Eric Van Tine) started coming on the site and talking shit in a very mean-spirited way. That changed things. You see the same stuff on the come-up board. A bunch of mean-spirited hate talk.
What's Jose Yanez up to? or What the fuck is up with Jose Yanez?
I just did Rockaoke with Joser the other night. That’s where you do karaoke but you’re backed by a live band and there are no words on a screen, you’ve got to read them off a lyric sheet. It’s the closest you can get to actually rockin’ without being a real rocker. Jose’s got a fairly new site up—www.myradself.com. He drinks his Busch every evening, and hopefully one day he’ll stop drinking so much Busch and do some of the things he’s been talking about forever, like getting a BMX show team together again and touring.
the new PFM sticker/t-shirt in the works...
Have you ever dressed up as a Star Trek character then went to the Renaissance Festival and acted like you were from the future? Saying things like: "I... seemed... to have traveled... back in time.. into 15th century England" into your tricorder.
What’s a tricorder? I don’t know ‘cause I hate Star Trek. The Enterprise always looked so clunky and gay compared to the Star Wars ships that I couldn’t get into it. Also, most of the other species didn’t look non-human, they just looked like dudes and chicks with a little makeup and sometimes a tiny bit of prosthetics on their mugs. You got a good idea, there, though, and I’m down to team up with you and Jose and try it sometime. Jose loved Voyager when it used to be on.
It seems that Phoenix riders despise you more than the greater metropolitan area of Tucson, why do think that is?
A few things. One reason is that some people don’t get my shit-talking and they take it personally, which is very thin-skinned and dumb. Another reason is that I tell the truth about the scene and what’s going on. Yet another reason is that as Arizona’s most prolific BMX filmmaker, there are some riders that feel ignored and they think I owe it to them to shoot them and put them in my films because they’re good and I live close to them. When I don’t, they hold it against me personally. Yet another thing I’ve seen is that riders respond more to trends much more now than when I first started riding in 1985. So if one or two of the riders they look up to say they don’t like me, they just follow suit, choosing to despise me only because someone else does. Anyone up for a nice bowl of lemming and sheep stew?
But in reality, what you see on the internets isn’t all that accurate. I just went on the Sunday on Central street ride that Clay, Robbie, Zuka and C-Los put together, and most riders were very friendly to me and we all had a great time. I guess it would be nice if people who are cool with me would be a little more vocal online, but whatever. Like I said before, derogatory stuff is more interesting. What blows me away, though, is how I’ll be riding at one of the now 5 concrete bike-friendly parks, and sometimes a couple riders will be sitting across from me, looking at me with a big ole puss on the whole time. What kind of sense does that make? How much of an ungrateful, entitled prickturd can you be, hating on a guy who busted his ass to get that park you’re riding right now?
Even though some people may hate on you, you've accomplished a lot in the Phoenix area with getting bikes in parks, what are some of your recent accomplishments and what's in store for the future?
I will thank you for pointing that out, sir. Somehow the big magazines and websites don’t seem to think it’s a big enough deal to report on, which boggles the mind. Ryan Fudger is the worst, because he’s known every goddamn thing we’ve done here--he goes to my site every day--and has done zero reporting on what we’ve accomplished. The BMX industry makes a product that is ILLEGAL to use almost EVERYWHERE! BMX companies, websites, and magazines should be stumbling over themselves to report on every killer new public park that gets built, and to explain how it got done so that kids nationwide will get inspired to get off their collective slammed seats and get new parks. Am I out of my fucking mind with this? Am I just a looney tuner? Goddamn it! Cock, balls and pussy what the fuck?!
My most recent accomplishment is the Tempe BMX/Skatepark, which was proposed by bike riders and would not exist if not for the efforts of bike riders. I’m also
working on getting another BMX/Skatepark in North Tempe, this time 60,000 square feet (almost 3 times the size of Chandler). We’ve got yet another thing we’re working on with Tempe as well, but I’m not at liberty to talk about it right now. We’ve got strategic moves planned for Gilbert and Apache Junction as well.
Sparks PLUS or Sparks regular?
I had Sparks once. It was alright, but if I want a sweet drinky drink I’ll take a margarita with Cuervo anytime.
You've single handedly put out two of the longest and most controversial (some might say) BMX videos of all time, I have to know, why?
Oscar Wilde wrote, “Diversity of opinion about a work of art shows that the work is new, complex, and vital.” He also wrote that all art is quite useless, so that helps keep me humble. You’re right on the controversial tip. The people that love my videos really love them, and the people that hate my videos really do hate them. I make videos because I want to show people the things I want to see in a video. I’m just being truthful in my work. If people don’t like that, then they can go watch the newest trendy video that nobody will remember in two years, I don’t give a fuck. My videos are built to last.
What's your favorite move on the BMX?
Probably nosepicks and nosepick variations. I do this one nosepick where I go up and land on the deck at an angle with my front brake pulled, and the momentum slowly carries my back wheel higher and more perpendicular to the coping, that I end up stalling and going in Canadian style. I love that feeling and I’ve never seen anyone do nosepicks like that without front brakes.
Don't you fucking give me raditude asshole, this is my site!
Why do you always have on so many pads? I never see your ass go big so what's the deal? You should put on some cut offs and a wife beater you know? Maybe roll around do some toothpicks, sit back, do some peg manuals wipe your brow with your psychic flying monkey bandana. What the fuck was my question?
First of all, you can eat a cock Michael Hines. Second of all, every one should consider what they’re doing and their skill level when deciding to wear pads or not. Sliding triple kinked rails, toothpicking 3 foot subs, jumping Chandler’s box, airing 5 feet out of a 9 foot quarter, and nosepicking 10 foot over-vert quarters are big enough for me to justify wearing some pads. Wood and dirt give a little, but concrete does not. And what is the most important item of protective gear I wear? The psychicflyingmonkey bandana, hands down. They provide unparalleled protection against brain injuries.
this dude sure loves his front wheel tricks... J-Lo hopping on the Miami Vice tip for real dog.
What's it like to have two first names?
Everyone knows all good superstars have two first names. Lenny Bruce. Steve Martin. Woody Allen. Chevy Chase. But Ryan didn’t used to be a first name. It was always a last name to me and everyone else until around ’95, when kids with that name started getting around 14 or 15, and the name came up on everyone’s radar as a first name.
Have you seen Ratboy lately?
The last time I saw him is when I interviewed him for Ride UK. Sadly, he was way more dedicated to drinking than he was to riding. It’s too bad, because he was such an innovator on street. People have just recently caught up to a lot of the stuff he did. I had arranged to film a full section with him for The Impetus of Cletus, but he stopped riding right before I was ready to start filming with him. Remember that, kids. If you keep riding all your life, you’ll be in good shape, you’ll avoid a lot of health problems, and you’ll have that creative outlet in your life. If you drink hard all your life, you’ll get DUI’s, have to get on TASC, get cirrhosis of the liver or alcoholic hepatitis, and will end up with a shitload of problems. Even your problems will have problems.
Who's your favorite bike rider or who influences you the most on the BMX?
My favorites have changed over my 23 years of riding, so let me tell you my first favorite and my most recent favorite. Martin Aparijo was my first favorite. He was a pro flatlander, and everything he did teemed with style. One of the first BMX articles I ever read was an interview with him in a FREESTYLIN’ magazine I picked up in Long’s Drugs in Springerville, Arizona where I was living. One of the pics was of Martin doing a bar ride down a freeway with cars on it and it blew my mind.
My most recent favorite is Brian Foster. I always liked his dirt jumping style, but when I saw him flow Mat Hoffman’s concrete park in Oklahoma City during the 2005 CFB, I was psyched. He flowed it like a skater would, but he went much higher and invented new lines that no one else would touch.
Well Jason, I've known you for awhile now and no matter how much shit talking you do or other people do I know you're a good guy and I appreciate all the hard work you've done for the sport. Thanks for taking the time and being a good sport. Do you have any shout outs or thanks to add?
Thanks to everyone who’s gone to city council meetings, protests, parks and rec board meetings, etc. in the effort to get public, legal places for bikes to ride. Special thanks to Pat Blackburn and Rex Golos for their leadership in the fight. I never ever could have gotten legal bike-friendly parks all by myself. Thanks to Kore Bike Industries and Profile for sponsoring me, ‘cause every little bit helps. Thanks to Chuck Dogg for suppohtin’. And thanks to everyone who buys my videos and goes to my website. Your business is greatly appreciated…….pussies.
