The FAT Favourites list:

-Spot to ride: I really like riding anywhere around Gwanghwamun station, it’s like the downtown area of Seoul. The Nanji ledges are quite a sentimental one, too. In terms of Sydney anywhere around the CBD is generally fun.

-BMX video: It’s a hard choice between “FORWARD”, “Fitlife”, and “Let ‘Em Talk”. Any of those three!
-Website: I don’t really look at websites much other than shopping, so I’d probably say Musinsa or HEIGHTS.

-Food: Sandwiches in any format, Korean BBQ
