What made you buy a bike store recently?
805 Bicycles: The timing was perfect & we simply had an offer that we couldn't refuse. 805 Bicycles was already an established business with a previous owner for 6 years. As it was an already established Shop with great clientele, the opportunity made sense.
On October 30th 2022, a historical BMX Flatland event took place in Saitama, Japan. Not only did the men's class benefit from an all expenses paid trip to Japan and have the highest purse in history for the second time at 10 million yen ( approx 68000 USD) for 1st place , but also women's class benefited from a large purse and an all expenses paid trip to Japan to compete. The women's class held 6 girls coming from 4 countries.

"As a core BMX shop, celebrating BMX day with a street jam was a no brainer and for this year we teamed up with an amazing partner (@etniesbike) for an evening to remember. With the help of Miki Fleck and all the BCN homies we put out a jam full of smiles and bangers!"

Nikita Ducarroz will compete in the UCI BMX Freestyle World Championships next week in Abu Dhabi (UAE). While the Tokyo Olympic bronze medalist is considered a medal hope, her story of mental health gives hope to others. The daughter of a Swiss father and an American mother, Ducarroz enjoyed the benefits of dual citizenship and grew up in Northern California while spending summers with her grandparents in Geneva, Switzerland.
At the age of thirteen, Ducarroz began suffering from severe anxiety attacks, which led her to isolation within her own home.
"BMX helped me to overcome my fears"
It wasn't until she found a BMX video on YouTube that she began to break free from the isolation she felt. At first, she saved up for a bike and practiced in her driveway. Day by day, trick by trick, her love for the sport grew. Eventually, the sport led her to do something that scared her to death: she took the plunge and went to ride at her neighborhood skate park. By doing this, she took a step toward overcoming her anxiety and began her BMX career.
Nikita continued to work hard and build her skills. It wasn't long before she won competitions - first at
This video means so much to me. The video is a 4 year project documenting me riding my bike in my early 20’s. It’s such a shocking yet beautiful sight to see myself age in the process of creating this. I want to specially thank my wife Mikayla for filming 99% of this video.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
