Last year Philip and I made a trip to California together. It was such a good time that it had to happen again. This year's traineeship at HGS Exhaust company allowed him to make the Cali trip to visit two Monster Energy Supercross races, MX dealerships and companies left and right. Of course while in SoCal lots of BMX companies could be visited as well as friends, spots and whatever came up basically. Through a couple of episodes we'll take you through our trip starting at the beginning.
Traveling is an advanture. Every time. It's anticipating to the situation and it started off shaky when the alarm clock went off. Next to the railways being under construction, an other message showed

James Pease is a beast, but we already knew that! While filming for Tear Da Club Up this clip became a bit of a struggle. From rain to crashes, going back a few months later, Jimmah didn't give up till the clip was done... Tear Da Club Up Bish

Woodward BMX Season 2 - EP2 - Clicked, Dipped, & Legit
Filming at night is nothing new in BMX, but what isn't really explored is the reasons for doing it. Some places are so hot, the most comfortable time to ride is at night. More densely populated areas are often so bustling that the best time to be productive is when the average bystander has gone to bed. And for many, the only way to make time for BMX is when you punch out for the day and somehow still have the drive to pedal even after the sun has gone down. After becoming a dad, I learned that I was still very motivated to ride, but had to adapt to new responsibilities in order to keep the stoke alive. I began riding at night more often, despite not having a lot of decent spots, a well-lit skatepark or many others to ride with. Although far from perfect, night time sessions allowed me to balance a new phase of my life as well as make time to enjoy what I love to do.
Gradually, the sessions became less isolated and the stoke started to spread to others. Trips over the hill to ride in San Jose or other nearby cities led to some really fun sessions. A special camaraderie was growing from these night missions, with other riders finding ways to balance their work/responsibilities and make time for BMX. Even though night time conditions offer many challenges, the energy was something that we were all largely growing fond of. On nights where the moon shown in full and provided slightly more visibility, a certain kind of magic enveloped the sessions.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
