What (BMX) shops did you like before you started your own?
Entity BMX shop: Growing up I was lucky to have BMX shops in my area so Hotwheels then BMX Plus were my go to shops over the years. Always loved going to Pijin in Southampton too but my favourite store has to be Soul Cycle in Amsterdam
Did you do some serious research before you opened up your shop at your location or did you just go for it?
Entity BMX shop: I was so fortunate, before Entity I was managing BMX Plus which unfortunately

We're given the keys to a brand new skatepark ( Graystone) and Oli and Charlotte basically fall in Love lol.
Scotty Cranmer is one of our favorite riders he did flat tire death gap and we redid it!! Caiden and Ryken put screws in a board and jumped the gap until one of them gets a flat tire!
Mike Vitatoe brings the rail game with a side of tech in his section of Daily Grind's "ReRouting" DVD! Mike has some of the best looking nose manuals out!
"This one is for BMXLIFE.pl as this store always had my back and supported me these past 5 years. With the help of BMXLIFE, HashBMX.com and all of friends behind the lens it worked out. 90% of this edit was filmed in the past 2,5 months. I would like to thank everyone involved in this project, you know who you are!" -Jasiek Pokrop
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
