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.

PJ McKenna: Sort of, I got stuff locally from Aaron Stewart and a couple local guys in San Mateo, California.

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.

Wiktor Skibinski. Get used to this name as you're going to be hearing a lot of it in the future. This 19-year-old machine delivers a non-stop attack on the streets of Poland. That banger though....
I have received a great amount of super good feedback about the Ultimate Flatland League online video competition. Many thanks again everyone!
