BMX pro and Metal Bikes founder Jimmy Levan put together some footage of hometown bikers engaging in some, shall we say, downtown redevelopment for ESPN.com’s BMX blog.
At least, we’re pretty sure it is. Walford, whom standard issue indie rock fans know as the drummer from Slint, appears on The Breeders album Pod under a different name.
