We sent California's very own bar-ride master Mike 'Hucker' Clark on an adventure to Ecuador to go to the home of the seriously underrated wild stallion that is Jonathan Camacho (a rider we first featured in DIG 96 back in October 2013). Hucker witnessed Jonathan's savagery first hand on the streets, trails and parks of his local stomping grounds, and even got to taste some home-cooked Iguana.
It must be nice to be able to film a 3-minute edit in an hour, right? Staff member Zach Szymaniak gets it done!
3 years ago my friend Matt Priest told me about a kid that could blast any quarter. At the time I was starting my company ( tall order) and was looking to support a few guys to see how they would get on over the next few years. I gave Kaz Campbell a frame and some parts and left him to do his thing.

Doomed Brand chillers in Alicante while filming for their latest long term project. Video includes clips from Jordan Godwin, Felix Prangenberg and Sam Jones. Jordan O'Kane has no clips cos all his shit was too big to put in. Truth.
While in Houston filming for Headlights, we caught up with Demarcus Paul, Calvin Kosovich, Justin Spriet, Jake Seeley, Mike Mastroni, Johnny Raekes and Broc Raiford about their first impressions of their fellow riders. Hit play for what the guys had to say and some behind the scenes footage from the filming of the video.
FBM- Steve Crandall -Drinking Black Coffee by FBM Bike Co.
'A person’s motivation reveals a lot about them. and I wanted to find out more about what motivates the one and only Steve Crandall beyond what we know of him with FBM. Always creating and enjoying things with the community that he surrounds himself with, Crandall’s intentions through life are pure, and his actions reflect that. He holds BMX values as a foundation and that spreads into every aspect of his life. Whether he’s coasting a big bike down a hill, digging in the dirt, or painting a coffee cup, it all comes from the same place and for the same reasons. This short film was shot in early April 2018 and documents Crandall in Richmond VA dealing with his first ever solo art show, and his preparation for the show 6 hours north in his hometown of Ithaca NY.' - Kenny Horton
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
