Is Tate Roskelley having the most fun on his bike? It definitely looks that way. But his one-of-kind flavor of freestyle doesn’t always come easy. Here’s over 20-minutes worth of insight into what went into making his Wait, What? video part.
Name: Cash Matthews
Hometown: Shawnee, OK
Started riding BMX in: 1972
Like many in the very early days who could not afford a motorcycle, the bicycle was turned into a motorbike look-a-like. What were some of the things you did to reach that goal?
Cash Matthews: Like most, we made lots of cool 2-stroke motorcycle sounds with our mouths!! As our group of friends who rode progressed, we started riding “flat track” style in a circle. We emulated Kenny Roberts and my Uncle, Jerry Matthews who were all accomplished Flat Track Stars. I conned my uncle out of a number plate from his motorcycle so that was the first cool-mod of the Schwinn. As many Flat Track guys, we added cardboard, grip covers to save us from rocks and things that never really mattered but they looked cool. In those early days, just having a set of waffle grips was epic, so we began there,
All my friends in the Coloradius
The Urodi crew are back again with another wild vid. Their latest video, “Reincarnation” (not to be confused with the Ride video of the same name from 2003) is 42 minutes of debauchery you’ve come to expect from these Kharkiv, Ukraine natives. And new clips of the enigma that is Anton Kutafin; can’t go wrong with that.
With a break in contests over the last year Subrosa rider Artem Agarkov took his skills to the streets of Russia and put in work!
The first official LUXBMX game of BIKE kicked off on the backyard ramp hosted by Boyd Hilder and Troy Charlesworth. Featuring some of the best riders from around SEQ, it was an epic day with plenty of hammers!
Schuee goes hard on both sides of the camera, enjoy!
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
