When were you approached to do a book?
Bethany Shriever: Start of the year!
How long was the thinking process before you decided to get to work on the book?
Bethany Shriever: Not that long really, it’s not often you get offered the opportunity to write your own book about your journey in sport (so far).
Did you have things lined up and organized as far as photos were concerned?
Bethany Shriever: We went through old photos my dad had kept on his computer from when I first started. The rest was fairly easy as there are some amazing photographers out there who get some great shots, like ProperCycling magazine and Navada BMX Photography.
How many days have you spent creating the book?
Soul Cycle threw a contest at the famous Marnix Bowl in Amsterdam and our bud Flouz from Cluut was on hand to capture all the good stuff. BIG VIBES!
B.F.S.! Nachdem Tom Röhr im vergangenen Jahr noch mit einem Soloprojekt beim @People's Store BMX BANGERS Freestyle Film Festival an den Start gegangen war, hat er sich für 2022 Verstärkung in Form seiner ganzen Homies geholt. Und das sind einige, die Fahrerliste zählt nicht weniger als 16 Namen, darunter auch ein Gewisser Reed Stark.

BMX-edit with: Felix Prangenberg, Bruno Hoffmann, Kilian Roth and Mo Nussbaumer! In September 2022, OUR HOUSE sent four teams on a trip from Frankfurt, Germany to Calabria, Italy. WAKEBOARD, BMX, SKATEBOARD and PARKOUR. The teams were very busy producing awesome videos, but they also had a lot of fun. It was a blast!
Forgot the X Games, the CLVLND and CMPN squad down-under through a DIY jam and put a whole tray of meat up for grabs. Needless to say all the big players showed up to get their grubby mitts on the big prize.

People's Store BMX BANGERS 2022 – Christian Gattinger by Bastian Wagner
Christian Gattinger ist mittlerweile so etwas wie ein Urgestein beim @People's Store BMX BANGERS Freestyle Film Festival. In diesem Jahr nahm er bereits zum dritten Mal an unserem kleinen Videocontest teil und versprühte auch diesmal wieder reichlich bayrischen VX-Charme. Das Ganze ist einmal mehr super anzugucken, der Bub hat einfach den Dreh bzw. die Crispyness raus. Die Jury belohnte ihn dafür mit Platz 7, also einen Platz besser als im vergangenen Jahr. Herzlichen Glückwunsch!
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
