Name: Nic Long
Sponsors: Hyper Bikes, Snafu, Promax components, Tangent Products, HT components, 6D helmets, Rynopower supplements, Faith gear, Vans, Shadow Conspiracy.
Mechanic: Me
How did you end up riding for Hyper bikes?
Nic Long: They reached out to my dad to run a factory team, and they wanted an Elite men as well. So, Dad asked me and the deal was better than my Haro deal... so I couldn’t say no. Plus, I get to help my Dad got for another team title. Like the good ole days.
You had a signature frame at Haro which had a long rear end. What's the benefit of the long back-end?
Nic Long: Idk if I’d say benefit, more so plagued haha. I almost can’t ride anything else now. It started cause I had a gate at my old house (that most had been to and tried) and It was super flat... I would have days where I would just wheelie over and over so I’d add a link, ultimately leading Derek Betcher to ask if I wanted a custom size cause my bolts were hanging off the drop outs.

Longtime German Verde team rider Pierre Hinze goes all in on the streets of Hamburg and Lüneburg. Three years worth of footage add up to one sick edit.
Matt filmed rode and produced this cool little video before the lockdown.
Jacob Hager, Landslide Skatepark BMX Edit. **I’ve always said “I don’t know what I would do without this place”, never did I expect to have to answer that question. “This place was our home” is such an understatement.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
