You know what's cool about riding BMX? You can set up your bike in whatever way you want to. Not only that, but you can put on the parts that you think will work for you. Only a few years ago the only color a BMX dealer would have to stock was black. Now this has changed. Multiple color choices are the norm but it does not stop there. You can customize your bike by doing things like Adam Ortiz did with his seat. He turned a regular DK seat into a custom Simpsons piece. Be original. Do your own thing, and don't forget to put on your cranks. You know what's cool about riding BMX? You can set up your bike in whatever way you want to.

After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
