www.digbmx.com, november 2008: It always seems like our deadlines come at the worst times. And issue 67’s was no different. Hot off the heels of attending Interbike 2008 in Las Vegas, we were plunged into what we like to call ‘deadline hell’ (but people with real jobs probably just call ‘a minor bit of drama’), working frantically so that issue 67 would be finished on time to match the release date of the brand new Levi’s® DVD, which is included along with this issue. So you get the latest issue of Dig BMX, packed with 148 pages of BMX from here and there to Bulgaria and back, along with the amazingly produced Levi’s DVD, featuring sections from Corey Martinez, Jamie Bestwick, Anthony Napolitan, Morgan Wade as well as Levi’s Flow Team Dakota Roche, Nathan Williams, Zack Warden, Brett Walker, Jeremiah Smith, Johnny Stevens, Ronnie Napolitan and Ron Thomas. Filmed in High Definition throughout the world, the Levi’s BMX DVD was filmed and edited by Will Stroud, with tons of bonus sections and more. Quite honestly, it’s the kind of DVD we shouldn’t be giving away with a magazine. But we’re nice like that. And just in case you’re curious about what’s going on in issue 67, here’s a rundown of Table of Contents, from start to finish…
