How long have you been riding the frame that you are currently on?
Mitchel Schotman: I'm now riding the new bike for almost two months. The frame is a bit different than the previous one. I think this is one of my favorite bikes I've ever ridden. I like the geometry, it's stiff and I like the colors.

Just prior to the era of being fully clipped in, X Games welcomed Downhill BMX into the scene. The jumps were massive, the invites were stacked and chromoly frames were your best bet for getting through the track unscathed.
It has been a while since I uploaded a video.. But it was a good day to show you guys what I did.

Fun afternoon riding at the Indoor BMX Track Dijk.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
