my only message is that levi is a sad sorry sport my three children, dad, and i are (were) some of his biggest fans up untill X-Games when he didnt allow Dane Ferguson to use his ramp. i think it was one of the cheapest shots ever. i personally own 13 polaris machines that now are all for sale because lamelevi didnt want to be out done by a non-sponsered nobody from Alaska. I believe that people or persons that cant swallow your pride and let the better man do the job. Levi does not deserve to be looked at in a lime-light or a position of influence especially for small childern trying to learn how to share. Half the children in Alaska were tuned in watching for Danes dbl back that we have discussed for six months. Basically WHO THE F--K IS LEVI to not allow the sport of freestyle to advance with out the lamelevi. We as Alaskans can not let our children follow in the foot steps of someone with no respect for any thing other than bettering himself. NO MORE GEORGE BUSH ATTITUDE. LEVI U ARE NO BETTER THAN ANYBODY. WE ARE ALL BORN HUMAN. give the next guy a chance unless you are too scared. How do i explain to my children Dane cant do his double because Levi wouldnt share. That is what seperates the men from the boys and Levi that is the only way to explain this to my children. you're nothing but a little boy that dont know how to share that is why you can no longer influence any children with that George Bush additude
