Stuart King // On Location // Backyard // 1995 by Snakebite BMX
Stuart King discovered BMX at its lowest point in popularity, we pin it down to around 1990. How the carcass of a 80's kids boom held any interest to a young teen back then is quite intriguing.
Stuart King was a highly influential figure in the 90s BMX scene, starting out at an early age, and quickly progressing. He was a contest regular, often flying stateside to ride in the seminal Hoffman bikes BS series. Getting a USA sponsor and quickly moving on to design and manufacture his own bike parts, with King bike co. Probably the first uk brand that had any success in the USA. And frame geometry thats still being used to this day.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
