Can you explain what Taken BMX is and what Taken BMX does?
Vasilis: It all started 9 years ago that we first came in the business as a retailer. We wanted a quick promo for our new shop so we first set our streetjam series for promotional purposes. Given that we were active riders for more than 20 years back then, the word spred quickly so we got requests from other Greek cities to bring the streetjams there.
Lexis heads to Bakersfield Pro BMX Racing.
We invited a small crew of our favorite people/tech rippers to our Cinco De Mayo themed BMX party at Standard Byke Company's HQ!
We had a blast on and off the Margarita Ramps!

We've been friends and fans of Renato Rancso for years now, but this welcome video for LUXBMX has to be his best footage to date. Hungarian born, and then transplanted to Scotland, Renato then made the move recently out to Australia, where he has continued to progress at a crazy rate. Outrageous levels of tech!

Reach your BMX customers through FATBMX. What month in 2025 do you claim?
For 2025 we're doing things differently. Your brand can pick a month to become an exclusive FATBMX advertiser. All main banners will be yours. The backgrounds will be yours. The month you pick will be focused on your brand. Your riders will be interviewed that month. Your products will be featured that month. Your (archived) videos will make it on FATBMX that month. Basically, it's all about you and your brand.
But there are only 12 months in a year. And whoever claims a month, will get it.

After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
