If you’ve ever seen footage or photos of Leandro Moreira flying high, while executing tricks with absolute perfection, unless it were at a big event like X Games, it was most likely at his local stomping grounds, the Caracas trails.

Ben Towle was able to find some Saturday night refuge from the cold winters chill to put his tyres on some wooden goodness at the Ghetto Park in Grimsby, UK. From unique lines to technical bangers Ben was able to defrost enough to get the wheels turning. A handful of hours and these are the fruits of his labour.
Name: Pat McKenna Se666
Hometown: Honolulu, Hawaii
Started riding BMX in: 1977
Number of bikes in the collection: Varied over the years...around 80.
Do you remember the moment that you decided to start collecting BMX memorabilia?
PJ McKenna: I started to look for graphite Tuff Wheels and a Patterson back in 1998. I was calling Skyway, calling bike shops but then got sidetracked with a career.
Back then, was it much easier to find parts that you needed?
PJ McKenna: Sort of, I got stuff locally from Aaron Stewart and a couple local guys in San Mateo, California.
Has the market been killed by the "new kids on the block"?
PJ McKenna: I think it definitely spiked in prices as you have a lot of guys from my era that can afford to make huge purchases of non essential items. Back 10 to 15 years ago you had only like 10 heavy hitters...now you have scores of wealthy BMX aficionados. Guys like Walt, Vbiker Shane, Martin, Wasa,
Name: Shad Johnson
Hometown: Prineville, Oregon, USA.
Started riding BMX in: 1986
Number of bikes in the collection: Over 30 but I have a core 10 that I won't sell or trade.
Do you remember the moment that you decided to start collecting BMX memorabilia?
Shad Johnson: No real exact moment. I remember getting an OZONE from a friend in '95 and being so stoked because I had always wanted one. Somehow that frame disappeared from one of the BMX houses I have lived at in the past. When I first opened Goods BMX someone brought in a pink '88 GT performer I bought off of them.
Ride more bmx part 2! Had fun editing this and expanding my creativity. First half was from a misty session at Tampa and the second half was from the @USA BMX Gator Nationals in Cape Coral, Fl!
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
