Dave Young - Episode 13 - The Union Tapes Podcast by The Union Tapes
Dave Young was a top name pro in the mid 80s. Coming from Gateshead way up north the odds were stacked against the riders from up there, but thanks to the talent of himself, Pepi Winder and Steve Laidlaw, they shone a light on their scene and left a lasting impression as guys to look for at the contests and in the magazines. We get into the early days of the BMX scene in the north, working at a BMX shop at that time.
Julian Arteaga, Jared Duncan, Gary Young, Ben Allen, Brioc Raiford, Brett Silva, Aaron Ross, Stone Kepler, and more... all BUNCH'D UP into one mixtape! Filmed primarily in Texas and California, with additional clips from Arizona, Albuquerque, Massachusetts, and Philly.
So hyped on this new part from Jeff Purdy! Sit back and enjoy 4 minutes of full blast gems from Daily Grind's street assassin. Our favourite Jeff Purdy video to date!
"I'll never forget we were out at a bar for Saint Pattys Day, and Steven goes, 'Dude it would be sick to ride to a song with bagpipes. But how do we find a good song?' We didn't know shit about that type of music. We got the idea from the song playing at the time, so I just Shazam'd it and that ended up being it!. Steven is an extremely calculated bull. When he finds that setup, the right one, he attacks. But sometimes that doesn't go as planned haha, enjoy this section from the rider that definitely crashed the most in this video." - Mikey Almodovar

It feels like every town now needs a Pump Track. It is in fact a good way to keep rolling. From youngsters to the the old dawgs. It draws new riders into the scene and keeps the veterans on the bikes because they feel they can handle a roller or two. The design is important to keep rolling. If the design fails, pump tracks get boring quickly. There are no challenges left other than the stopwatch. But who rides like that? Pump Tracks ar fun when they are challenging. Can I manualy the entire section, can I clear the jumps, can I find transfers, is that gap possible, can I generate enough speed to go from one line into an other? Can a section be used as a miniramp? Is there a run-up to use a turn as a quarter pipe? Does the pump track offer possibilities for a race? One by one, or two at the same time?
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
