Levi’s® BMX Pro Jamie Bestwick is the latest rider to be featured in The Press List over on VitalBMX.com. Check out this unique question answer session, some amazing riding, and a taste of Jamie’s wonderful sense of humor.

Round three of the AST Dew Tour, AKA The Wendy’s Invitational is now history and Levi’s® BMX was on the scene. Once again Jamie Bestwick was the star of the show, but a crash kept him from the win. Jamie was certainly the favorite to win the vert contest, but hung his rear wheel on a double downside whip. This crash ended Jamie’s hopes for another win and put him into the 2nd place position. He still leads the Dew Cup points heading into Salt Lake City. Anthony Napolitan was another Levi’s® BMX star in Portland. After failing to qualify in dirt, Anthony stepped it up and finished 2nd in park prelims. He rode great in the finals too, but couldn’t nail his 360 triple-whip like he did in prelims. Anthony finished in a respectable 7th place overall. Zack Warden and Morgan Wade both had their moments in Portland too. Zack finished 9th in Vert with big moves like his tail-whip catch tail-whip. Watching Zack ride is always a treat. Morgan Wade also had his moments in Portland (like this one above). He rode great, but missed making the finals by just one spot. Tough luck, but at least Morgan left Portland unscathed. Congrats to all the guys for another great showing. Check out some photos from the event here.

Levi’s® BMX Pro Morgan Wade made it to Portland, but unfortunately the same can’t be said about his bike. The airline lost his bike somewhere between Texas and Oregon, so Morgan was forced to borrow someone else’s ride. That someone was his Levi’s® teammate Zack Warden. Morgan rode dirt qualifiers on Zack’s ride, but could only muster up a 19th place finish. He’s trying somebody else’s bike for street practice. Good luck Morgan.

The 3rd stop on the AST Dew Tour is underway in Portland, Oregon. The action kicked off yesterday at the Wendy’s International event that runs through Sunday. Levi’s® BMX Pro Zack Warden is the first team rider to transfer from prelims into the finals. Zack qualified 7th which locked up the very last spot in the 10 rider finals. Levi’s® BMX Pro and defending Dew Tour champ Jamie Bestwick automatically transfered into the finals having won the 2007 Dew Cup. Check out the Dew Tour site for coverage.

Our friends at VitalBMX have posted a completely ridiculous clip of Levi’s® BMX Pro Anthony Napolitan rolling away from a triple tail-whip backflip.  The footage is straight off a cell phone, but incredible nonetheless. Anthony is certainly pushing what’s possible.

Levi’s® BMX Pro Jeremiah Smith has a full interview in the new issue of Ride BMX Magazine. Titled Jeremiah Smith Aren’t Dumb, the interview has some amazing photos from a Levi’s® BMX filming trip to Barcelona, plus some memorable insight into how Jeremiah’s mind works. Be sure to buy this issue.

Levi’s® BMX Pro Morgan Wade appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Tuesday night. Morgan wasn’t a guest in the studio, but appeared in a funny segment from the X-Games. You can watch the full episode here. Choose Tuesday, August 5th from the scrolling menu at the bottom. The X Games coverage is in the second segment.

Levi’s® BMX Pro Nathan Williams has had quite a run this past year. He’s traveled the world, gotten more magazine coverage and cover shots than any of his Levi’s® teammates,  and competed in the X Games. It all makes sense to us. Nathan is one of the nicest, most polite guys we know. We grabbed this shot of Nathan signing autographs at X Games 14. Proof that he’s officially joined the big time.

For the second year in a row Levi’s® BMX Pro Jamie Bestwick has won X Games gold. The BMX Vert comp went down tonight in Los Angeles. Jamie bounced back from a first run crash to win the event. Somehow Jamie didn’t get his hands back on his grips after a double barspin and took a tumble to the bottom of the ramp. Fortunately he wasn’t hurt and regained his composure. The new jam style format couldn’t slow Jamie down either as he put together another one of his high flying runs packed with back to back big tricks. Jamie did not play it safe and did what it took to win. Check out RideBMX.com for event coverage and photos. Congratulations Jamie. We’re amazed!

Levi’s® BMX Pro Morgan Wade had a busy day at X Games 14 today. He took 6th in BMX Big Air and also snagged the 10th and final spot in BMX Super Park. BMX Super Park is a brand new jam style event where riders session a massive bowl-inspired plywood course. Check out video from qualifiers here. Good luck in the finals Morgan.

Levi’s® BMX Pros Morgan Wade and Anthony Napolitan (pictured above) are no strangers to going big. Both riders qualified for the X Games BMX Big Air Finals tonight at the Staples Center. Morgan finished 6th and Anthony ended up 7th. Anthony had everyone talking by trying one of the craziest moves of the X Games. He attempted the world’s first backflip triple tailwhip. Check out coverage from the event on RideBMX.com. Video highlights are up now too.

RideBMX.com keeps delivering some incredible coverage from X Games 14. Check out this video recap of yesterday’s BMX Street Finals. Both Levi’s® BMX Pros Nathan Williams (pictured above courtesy of Talem Cowart) and Dakota Roche have some incredible clips. Congrats again guys for repping the Red Tab in the finals.

X-Games 14 is in full swing and there’s no shortage of spots to find coverage. EXPN has posted a quick Q&A with Levi’s® BMX Pro Anthony Napolitan. Read up on what goes through his head when getting BMX Big Air.

The BMX Street finals went down today at X Games 14 in Los Angeles. The inaugural event included 3 Levi’s® BMX riders including 2 finalists. Dakota Roche (pictured above blasting in Hawaii) and Nathan Williams both repped the Red Tab and both riders rode great. Nathan missed qualifying for the finals by one spot, but Seth Kimbrough got hurt and couldn’t ride. This gave Nathan a spot in the finals. Dakota finished 5th and Nathan scored the 6th place spot. The level of street riding these days is amazing, so we’re especially stoked to have Corey, Nathan, and Dakota all in the X Games mix. Congrats guys! RideBMX has some great coverage from the event. Check it out here.

X Games 14 is underway and Levi’s® BMX is there. Dakota Roche is the first Levi’s® rider to make the finals. Last night we received a great e-mail from his very proud Mom: “DAKOTA HAS MADE FINALS IN THE XGAMES IN LOS ANGELES…………..AND I AM JUST BEING A PROUD MOM!!!!  CONGRATS TO HIM.” Everyone at Levi’s is proud too. BMX Street is the newest event at X and Dakota came through with 5th place in the qualifiers. The top 6 made it to the finals. Nathan Williams and Corey Martinez both repped Levi’s® too, but settled for 7th and 11th. BMX Street finals go down today and there’s still plenty of other action ahead. Jamie Bestwick (vert), Morgan Wade (Super Park & Big Air), Anthony Napolitan (Big Air),  and Zack Warden (vert) are all set to compete. X Games 14 takes place from July 29-August 3 in Los Angeles. Congrats Dakota and good luck in the finals. Check back for more from X.

Levi’s® BMX Pro Dakota Roche is getting ready for the X Games and has also been named the next Pro Q&A by Ride BMX Magazine. Click this link and check out how you can ask Dak a question. Ride’s Pro Q&A gives readers a chance to ask their favorite pros questions about anything they’d like. From BMX to travel to food to music to whatever you want to know.

Happy 21st Birthday to Levi’s® BMX Pro Dakota Roche.  The goat cheese is on us.

Levi’s® pro Nathan Williams has to be one of the most photogenic riders in BMX.  How else can you explain how he scored yet another cover. That makes two Ride covers in the past year. Nathan has also scored a cover of Dig. Congrats Nathan.
