BMX originated in California in the 1970s. Inspired by motocross riders of the time, people started to race their bikes on dirt tracks. In fact, BMX bikes were designed to get more people into motocross, but it soon developed into a sport of its own!
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
