Welcoming Jayden Fong to the Local BMX team! Jayden got down for the camera in Perth, Australia to celebrate, along with his teammates Filipe Laghi, Mitchell Morris, Zenith Riley, and Kyle Ralston. These dudes know what's up.
Dean Florian's recent video part had some awesome feedback but don't be fooled, a lot of the clips Dean really had to put in some serious work to get them done. We love putting out these raw cut videos because they really show how much dedication it takes to put together a video part.

Do you remember the moment that you decided to start collecting BMX memorabilia?

Re-Up; Preserving BMX History. Episode 53: Patrick Freitas (DJ Truly Odd) (USA)
Name: Patrick Freitas (DJ Truly Odd)
Hometown: I grew up in Merced, CA., live in Los Angeles now.
Started riding BMX in: 1975
Number of bikes in the collection: Probably 15- 20 built. A lot of frame sets though.
Do you remember the moment that you decided to start collecting BMX memorabilia?
Patrick Truly Odd Freitas: Yes, it was early 2000’s. My buddy Andreas (DJ Greyboy), who I’d known from doing music with, had just moved up to Long Beach. I went by his house one day, walked in and saw bikes hanging up on the wall, all over the room and upstairs. Sick bikes too… a 26” Nomura, 24” CW Faze-1, 16” Redline Squareback Pit, etc. We started talking and I told him I was heavy into racing BITD and still had all my stuff at my parents house. The whole passion for BMX surfaced again that day.
At this moment, do you wish you had started collecting earlier?
Patrick Truly Odd Freitas: I guess, but it was still real early in the “collecting” scene. The hunt for things was fun and wasn’t as blown out as today.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
