Name: Maurice Meyer
Hometown: San Francisco, USA
Started riding BMX in: 1975 or so?
Number of bikes in the collection: 4 fully built, 1 complete unbuilt, a few frames, many Tuff Wheel sets, parts, etc.
You put together your first 'collector' bikes some 15 years ago. What made you decide to put these three bikes together?
Maurice Meyer: I was seeing a lot of really cool stuff being done on VintageBMX.com so I went back to mom's house and dug in the old shed. Found my first Skyway TA frame and fork in really rough condition all rusty from laying on one side on this damp plywood floor. It was probably the best thing I could find though since it was my the bike I rode on my first tour and in my first contest and also had a rare fork since Skyway welded it up with no rake for freestyle. Robert Peterson got the same in white and I think that's it - two ever made and just this one left. At first I thought I'd just put some used parts on it and make it look as used but the people on VintageBMX started hooking me up with mint parts which meant I had to step up and get the frame repaired and chromed. Doing the really personal stuff like making the number plate and custom stickers got me some heavy flashbacks which was awesome.

Chicago's Alex Duleba. Footage from 2017 to 2020.
Maxime Orsini lays waste to his local park (check the tattoo), trails, and transitions of all kinds. Plus, bike flips every direction. A good park section is what's up....we need more of them.

"Much like most accidents, this video happened with ease and came to conclusion before we even knew we were making a video. I hit the road in my van this past December with my girlfriend and doggo, to start a 6 month long journey around the country, hitting and seeing places I have always wanted to ride.

Legendary spot “ANTHILLS Trails” in Houston Texas. The “blue groove crew” held a jam the day after PRATTY Woods jam. We got a good session before the rain started and ended the fun.
2021 European Cup #1-2 in Verona, Italy // Yoshi Nagasako by YN LENS
Here is my edit of my first big race of the year after pandemic. Unfortunitetly we couldn't finish the race because of the heavy rain and track got soft. But I had some good laps to keep positive for this week world cup here in Verona again.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
