These sessions were therapeutic, allowing me to explore, learn, and socialize in a way that keeps me motivated to ride BMX. And after 3 months away from the grind, I feel like my life is a lot more balanced and fulfilling, getting to put my A-game energy back into family and riding rather than a job that was becoming increasingly dissatisfying. Big thanks to everyone who was in front and behind the camera in this one. Riders include Samar Carrillo, Andy Maguire, Milad Karimi, Michael Kohn, Dan Romeo, Tim Maguire, Josiah Bledsoe, Kord McKinney, Josh Gray, Eric Mesta and Reed Zirjacks.
Earlier this year, I stepped down from a job that I worked at for almost 10 years to focus more on the aspects of my life that bring me joy. Most of this video was filmed in the long months leading up to taking that big leap.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
