Sometimes the ultra talented riders are good in anything they do. Alessandro Barbero has a signature snowboard at Hostile, wanted to be a Motocross rider, but ended up being a Pro BMX rider. We talked with the Italian about all three sports. When you were little, what did you want to be later on, a motocross rider, a snowboarder or a BMX professional?
Ale: I always wanted to be a motocross rider. I live in CEVA, Italy
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
