When I found out that Strictly BMX was up for grabs late in 2023 I knew I had to make moves to continue the legacy.
Shop name: Strictly BMX
Location: Melbourne, Australia
Years in business: 25
Best year yet: 2020
Worst year yet: 2020 for different reasons
What were your first thoughts on Covid-19 when it hit?
Tim Williams: Obviously, no one knew what the year would bring, how long it would last, or which industries would be worst impacted. There was just a lot of uncertainty around staffing, sales and of course supply.
Did you take any action from the start or were you thinking this would be over in a few weeks?
Tim Williams: We managed to get a few large orders through to various suppliers in time to keep stock
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
