How many BMX workers did you have at the show: 4 (myself, McGoo, Bill, and Amanda) Did you have any autograph signings going on this year with some of your riders: Tons! That’s all we do! We keep them on a tight ship and make sure they take care of all their fans. Morgan Wade went through 5 boxes of sharpie markers in just the first day of interbike this year. I personally see to it that he writes a little note on each autograph...
Any other activities to attract dealers/media that involved your brand: Yes, VITALBMX.COM, sponsor the crap out of local jams and contests, and lots of sticker tosses, just to name a few What booths showed SNAFU products at the show: Seattle Bike Supply, Quality Bike Products, Giant, MirraCo, and Failure.
What product that you showed to distributors/dealers/media drew most attention: The new street/park pedal with removable injection molded astroglide teflone sleeve. It's strong, lite, and can grind the crap out of a ledge. Amanda doesn't have a clue about SNAFU BMX parts does she: Does it really matter... ?
Overall impression of Interbike 2006: Too much drinking, girls, gambling...oh yeah and I think there was some bike stuff going on also. Peace and Chicken grease, SNAFU is coming out of the darkness for 2007 and going to stomp a mudhole in its competition. Print that! -Mike C.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
