It doesn't happen every day that you pick up the news that a Pro rider wrote a book. John Parker has done it and we decided to check in with him to see what it's all about. What made you decide to write a book?
John Parker: I've always enjoyed writing. It's enlightening to put thoughts and feelings into words; meditative. Kind of like talking to yourself... haha. This book combines all my favorite things: bikes, writing, and being able to motivate people with words.
Have you always been much of a writer?
John Parker: Somewhat. In school I went the extra mile to make my words ring true and have purpose. I like to read and write words that spark feelings or thoughts.
Who is the book catered to?
John: I wrote it with my 11 year old son, Jack in mind. There is an age where senseless humor and carefree nonsense or what I call the joy of life becomes jaded by other people's expectations.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
