Name: Adam Cox
Hometown: Glendora, CA. USA.
Started racing BMX in: 1974
How many bikes in collection: 9
As a former Factory JMC rider, is that where the BMX collection started for you?
Adam Cox: Collecting for me started in Jr. Highschool with balloon tire bikes, Beach cruisers and Whizzer Motorbikes. In about 2000 I started collecting BMX. At the end of 1980 my family moved to Sacramento, CA. My Dad and I had a shop out of our garage "Factory Connection". I had quite a bit of leftover inventory from that short venture to help me kick off my BMX collecting.
Do you only have "Made in the USA" bikes in your collection?
Adam Cox: Yes
Does "Made in the USA" mean a lot to you to this day?
Happened to be near the Wetlands on a Wednesday, so that meant that they typical heavy crew would be roasting the trails just as they have over the last several years. Thanks to Anthony Napolitan for letting us come out.
BMX racing has been an Olympic sport since 2008 and remains one of the fastest growing youth sports in the United States. Tulsa has always been a prominent destination for BMX racers, but soon, Oklahoma will become the undisputed epi-center of the sport and when it does, an iconic neighborhood may well be restored to its former glory.

Started riding BMX in: I started riding a BMX bike in 1979 on a Mongoose with Tuff Wheels. In 1982, I got a Hutch frameset for Christmas. From 1980 through about 1984, I raced BMX locally in southeast Michigan with my brother, my cousin, and several good friends. We lived in the country, so we were at the mercy of our parents work schedules to get to a BMX track. Although we did not race as much as I would have liked to, my parents were always supportive and encouraging and those were some of the best years of my childhood. We spent our days on our bikes. Jumping in ditches, riding dirt roads. We build a quarter-pipe. We practiced tricks. The weather did not matter. We rode year-round. Snow, rain, heat, etc. It was the first taste of freedom. In the summer of 1984, I sold my race bike and all the parts I
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
