We've all had it happen to us when a stranger walks by and tells you to join the circus. You just think he's got no idea what he's talking about and continue with what you were doing. The circus isn't BMX, but people actually do go to the circus to see things done that only a few people can do. In the past riders like Zach Shaw, Mike Canning, Jason Ellis and Shaun Scarfe actually traveled Europe doing shows inside a circus tent. Conditions were sketchy, but the life experience is there.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
