We asked three leading motocross athletes how BMX has helped them when they made the transition to riding dirt bikes. See what they had to say:
Eli Tomac
FATBMX: Did you ever race BMX?
Eli Tomac: My racing started with bicycles and that was riding BMX tracks, it was the first thing I did. I got on a bicycle and raced BMX probably till I was 7 or 8 years old at the local tracks and then after that I went full motocross but yeah it was part of my life in the beginning.
FATBMX: Do you use something you learnt from BMX for your motocross riding?
Eli: I think the crossover is excellent, just for learning balance, balance is huge in the control of your bike.
FATBMX: Do you think BMX is a good school for motocross?
Eli: Oh yeah, totally! I mean, especially in the Supercross environment it's very similar, well, it's both, it's bike control right, knowing how to pinch the bike, I think there's a lot of similarity between BMX and Motocross.

Some of San Diego’s finest band together to bring you NAH, IT’S CHILL. A mixtape that is compiled of roughly the last 2 years from the perspective of Rider/Filmer Micheal Moors (Mike yup). Filmed primarily in San Diego and a two-week trip to Tokyo in early 2023. This tape is a great reminder to get after it and have some chill times riding with the homies.
Trey Jones, Dave McDermott and the Swampfest crew really took the course madness to yet another level at the new location in Waldo, Florida, complete with a full-on pirate ship/ramp and a permanent concrete bowl. Get a sneak preview into various obstacles all of which (other than the bowl) will end up as a smouldering pile of ashes come Sunday morning.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
