Name: James White
Hometown: South East London
Started riding BMX in: 1979
Number of bikes in the collection: About 10 complete I guess
Do you remember the moment that you decided to start collecting BMX memorabilia?
James White: No, I don’t think that ever happened, I prefer to call myself a BMX Historian, Hah. It goes far deeper than just collecting for me. The evolution of tricks, the media, it’s all of interest to me, the bikes and parts I have accumulated is just a part of it.
At this moment, do you wish you had started collecting earlier?
James White: Yes and No. I can’t help but cringe over the parts that have slipped through my fingers over the years but that was then and this is now. In the early 90’s everything was worthless.
Name: Christophe Detandt
Hometown: Pont à Celles - Belgium
Started riding BMX in: 1984
Number of bikes in the collection: More than 40, I don't know exactly...
Do you remember the moment that you decided to start collecting BMX memorabilia?
Christophe Detandt: Yes, when I removed dust off my old 1985 GT PRO laying in the garage in 2006 ... the memories came back quickly and I took a look on the net and I discovered that there were some guys who were collecting BMX bikes... One month later, I bought the first bike of my collection, a Skyway Streetbeat!
When someone says influencer, today many think of social media and the individuals that promote products, lifestyles, and health and fitness. However there are other influencers, the ones that helped your growth, ones that have helped you become the person that you are today.
