This article was originally run on FATBMX in February of 2003. Why not post it again. A little history brush up never hurts. I had always thought that Bob Haro invented freestyle in 1978. That is until Crow sent me pics from 1975 of John Palfreyman and Thom Lund riding pools on BMX bikes. That's pretty BMX freestyle to me. But there is more to it. Crow had interesting stories and background info on the DogTown movie that Stacey Peralta directed. We interviewed Stacey in an earlier update on FATBMX.com and did not get much BMX
