I don’t know how I managed to forget to include this in the last post. Jimmy Levan got dragged by a jeep a few weeks ago and it resulted in some massive damages. Nothing can keep him down though and it looks like he’s already walking around on crutches. Get well soon!

The big news of the weekend is that style (and crazy 360 variations) beat out flips and whips at Dew Tour Dirt. Mike Aitken gets a well deserved first place spot on the podium.

In other parts of the web, Jim Cielencki was in town for a handful of days last week and has a Top 5’s feature over on Defgrip. Ironically enough, Mike Dominquez was in our office last week too so JC can cross off one of the items in his “Top 5 People I’d Like to Meet” list.
Here are a handful of other new products we have shipping to distributors. Expect them in shops in two weeks or so. Hit up the jump for more photos and details.
We have some new products shipping to distributors. Our Classic Top Loader Stem will now be available in gold, high-polished and white (while still available in the standard colors of black and silver).

Give D! has some left-overs clips up on Shred Or Die. Don’t worry, they shredded so they’re still alive.
In related news, here’s an update from Sir Alex of Giveth D Clothing:
We’re still filmin’ for our D!vd that comes out in about 2 weeks at Interbike and the crew is droppin’ like flies. Steve Kennedy lives in the middle of nowhere up in Nor Cal, Tammy destroyed his knee and had to go to the ER, Hoang dislocated his shoulder, again… Gary just peaced out for Dew Tour today and Albert is a business man deluxe building Tony Hawk HJ bikes behind the scenes at Wal-Mart. We’ll slop a nice DVD out though and maybe even make the dudes at Odyssey proud… I took some photos over the last couple days with my Sidekick, no action shots, mostly chillin’ this time. I’m big on Sidekick photos because they look like crap and you gotta shoot everything way early due to the lag on these bad boys. – Alex
