You've been on the BMX bike since you were 7 years old. What's your current status within BMX?
Jeff Upshaw: Correct, I started in BMX shortly after my 7th B-day. Currently competing in the Elite men class. With a lot of the events canceling, I am enjoying the extra time having fun with new gym work
Jeff Ludwig is raw as hell and his section in GT's "Seriously Fun" is a refreshing display of rough as grinds on metal pegs, 60/40 & 40/60 setups, and classic East Coast style street obstacle shralping. It's hard to put it into words but Jeff's riding has a feel to it, and you can't say that about just anyone.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
