Kairi Yamada joined the Fit Familia in 2020 after earning the ultimate VOUCH from Van "Mother F'n" Homan. Van, who had spend the two years leading up to the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games living in Japan and regularly riding the Bashi Burger ramps, was impressed with the then 9-year-old and wanted to hook him up. Well, four years later... it looks like the Homanator knew what he was doing.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
