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.
Managed to get my hands on this awesome 1987 Haro Sport Frame!
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!

How did we get here? I had a brief conversation with Chris about potentially co-hosting a month or two ago and we landed on a single name: Harold McGruther. A true icon behind the scenes. Intelligent, polarizing, hilarious, and after 40 years of growing, building, and marketing brands, he's a true wealth of crazy stories, historical facts, and insight. Truly an honor to have McGoo sit down and run through his timeline and scratch the surface of his long history in the BMX industry....

After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
