Galen Church: First thought was, no big deal. That quickly changed to “we can’t make it a month if we have to shut down”
Did you take any action from the start or were you thinking this would be over in a few weeks?

2020 has been different than other years, so making a year edit was also more challenging than other years. I tried to make something with the shots I had.

What were your first thoughts on Covid-19 when it hit?
Eddie Buckley: We were freaking out a bit because we were uncertain if they would let us stay open and also worried people would just start killing over in the streets.
Did you take any action from the start or were you thinking this would be over in a few weeks?
Eddie Buckley: We took action pretty much right away. I have a friend, Sharon Cook, that works for the State of Utah. Sharon gave me a bit of a heads up on how to protect ourselves, our customers,
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
