When you look at the SE racing bike on your right you notice that the bike has no brakes, brakeless you say? No, not really. There was a time when coaster brakes were the way to go. Agreed, it's a long time ago but everyone had a coaster brake. It basically worked all the time for the skids that were done. Coaster brakes made a comeback when freestyle was introduced. Perfect for those flat bank kick turns and no backpedaling required when rolling back. Ahh, the good old days......
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
