Grab the bike, hit the streets. That’s been a part of my life for a long time. To avoid burnout, Sometimes you got to look at things differently…Filmed in the general San Diego area over the last few months, Hope you enjoy, SPILT MILK
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.
If you were at Dirtyfest, you saw it live. If not, tune in today on TorkerTV to see Eddie Fiola's incident.. and learn all about the Torker Freestyle Frame
One of the most iconic figures in BMX history, Reed Stark (The Human Giraffe) had it all: the women (over 420 served), the friends (Denim Cox, Boogie T) and the rock 'n' roll lifestyle (a close and personal relationship with every substance known to man).
He doesn't need his car to be fast and furious.

Travis with the big old nollie crook. This didn't make the cut but the final version is kinda similar. Go shop kinkbmx.com for one.
Grandios – man kann es nicht anders sagen! – waren auch in diesem Jahr die Einsendungen für den @kunstformbmxshop Easter Online BMX Jam.
