We've asked Mel Stoutsenberger to pick his favourite photos from back in the day and give us the Who, Where, When, What, and Why. Mel documented BMX first hand. Here's photo number Five.
IMAGE FIVE:
Who: Bruce Bufkin from Canoga Park, California. Bruce and I became friends in 1968 because of our shared interest in motocross. We didn't have motorcycles yet but we had our Schwinn Stingrays which we rode as much as we could in the empty fields and trails around our neighborhood. His older Brother used to help us work on our bikes, gave us tips, customizing and making them better suited for riding in the dirt.
Where: Indian Dunes Motorcycle Park, mini-bike track, Valencia, California.
When: August 1972.
Kyle Walker started working on this video part early last summer. Due to unfortunate circumstances it was cut short. Kyle already had issues with his leg from a previous compound fracture in El Centro, California.
The Daily Grind boys were fed up with the midwest winter and decided to send it down to Houston, Texas in the middle of February. I love trips during this time of year because the boys are hyped just to see dry pavement, so the sessions always pop off.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
