The 2000s were treasure troves for BMX and video game fans. The two titans of this period were the legendary and late Dave Mirra and Mat Hoffman. Although many believe they stand alone at the top of the sport, many BMX fans have them in their Mount Rushmore of pro riders. Such was the success of both men that gaming companies partnered with them on several occasions to develop video game concepts. These games still hold weight and value in the modern market; such was the size of their impact. Today, we’re going to have a look at how these games reshaped the landscape of the BMX world, how they brought millions of people into the market, and the legacy of both men in bringing this sport to the masses.
Issue 7 - Reality Filter features all the usual bluster, but this one is more than just a magazine, it comes with a 7" Vinyl dedictated to FIDs and recorded by the magazine makers themselves! Heres a little exert from what they had to say about it all:
"Music has always been an integral part of BMX to us, we wanted to do something on BMX riders who play music in this issue, and to find out the experience of actually making some music ourselves…
Inspired after watching Eddie Roman in Ride Like A Man make his own songs to a couple of sections from said video I instantly thought, we need to do something like this. We went into rehearsal rooms every week for 1 year, at the end of that year went into a recording studio and came out with 3 of our own ‘metal’ songs… which are the songs on the record.
Terry Adams, an X Games gold medalist and multiple NORA Cup winner (BMX’s “Number One Rider” award), has spent over two decades at the forefront of one of the sport’s most artistic and technically demanding disciplines, Flatland BMX. Now, he’s inviting audiences into his world like never before with the upcoming release of his documentary, The Road Home, debuting on Amazon later this month. Flatland BMX is best described as “dancing on a bike”, and strips riding down to its purest form. No ramps, no trails or features... just rider, bike, and balance. Combining elements of breakdancing, gymnastics, and technical precision, riders perform intricate spins, pivots, and holds on flat ground. Few have shaped and elevated the sport quite like Adams.
Born and raised in Hammond, Louisiana, Adams discovered flatland at just 12 years old. Despite growing up with severe asthma and dyslexia, he quickly found purpose and expression through riding. By 16, he was competing, and winning, on a global stage. Since turning professional in 1999, Adams has earned countless accolades and is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in BMX history. Adams has become one of the sport’s most passionate ambassadors, traveling the world to perform, teach, and inspire the next generation. “Flatland is my heart and soul,” says Adams. “I’ll do everything I can to help it grow.”
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
