With the exception of a few vert riders, most of the mid-school BMX professionals from the 1990s and early 2000s have moved on from X Games competition. Not Ryan Nyquist though.

Brendan Tombow makes great use of the treasure trove of spots the Inland Empire area of SoCal has to offer with a barrage of technical grind combos. Also worth noting is the fact that the video camera used and the song he rides to were both created before Tombow was even born.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
