Dirt Bros // Bully Slow Ride // 1990 (Vic Murphy,Brad Blanchard,& Ronnie Farmer) by Snakebite BMX
Although the Bully video did not live up to the hype that the company was generating at the time it still was packed with an all star line up. It really feels like they filmed the whole video in a weekend. Even though the video turned out bad there is still a few gems you can find in this. The Dirt Bros. were at the peak of their popularity and nothing really looked cooler than these guys shredding SD on the 2 tone Bully's.
As the decade of Vert dominance of the 80's rolled to an end Jon Byers was boosting as the vert ramps were disappearing and being chopped down to mini ramps. Jon's pump on ramp is magic and i'm always bummed we didn't get to see more footage of him.
RL's part is super short and the highlights are him doing a table over one of the jumps at the Mission Hills trails and him talking to Scott Breithaupt while he is sitting in the street. Pretty weird.

Kyle Harris & Chris Akin are Southern Oregon raised and keep that roast alive on all the aging concrete parks in that area. Just like Josh White who grew up in the same area 30 years earlier. This area breeds that good style with a fearless approach.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
