Throughout his professional BMX career, Matt Beringer denied and hid his sexuality. It took a series of personal struggles—including contemplating suicide—for him to come out as gay. This film is a story of self-acceptance and offers a welcoming hand to those who feel excluded in the BMX community.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
