My tribute t-shirt design to my friend and early BMX hero Scot Breithaupt. This design captures Scot in action while leading a pack of early NBA pro's from back in the day. This premium short sleeve fitted mens tee by Raverse features original Bob Haro artwork on the chest. Limited quantities available while supplies last!
The equally cool Scot tribute poster is by famed Mexican artist and OS freestyle rider Omar Chavira. This high-quality 11" x 17" poster is printed on heavy 120# McCoy Silk Cover stock paper. Original artwork by artist and BMXer, Omar Chavira for the Scot Breithaupt Foundation.
About the artist;
Born in Guadalajara México, Omar Chavira has lived in several cities before landing in Ensenada Baja in 1982 where he got his first Redline BMX bike and began freestyling every chance he could. Today Omar is part of a facebook group that keeps the spirit of old school BMX and its roots alive in Ensenada Mexico.
*A percentage of the proceeds to benefit the Scot Breithaupt foundation.

Are your ready for the most exciting, BMX-packed weekend in Southern California? With non-stop events going on, you definitely don't want to miss out on the fun and excitement. Our host location - the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, CA is an incredible place to visit. In addition, there are 4 major attractions:
1. USA BMX Gold Cup Championship presented by DK Bicycles.
2. National BMX Hall of Fame museum is open to visitors all
As far as I recall, I first interacted with Scot at the Yamaha Gold Cup qualifier in San Diego. I was 13. To imagine that he was only 16 and running that thing at the time is amazing. He always went by the monikor "the OM (Old Man)" I believe as a marketing tool to get parents, sponsors and business partners to think he was more mature than he was, and he grew a beard as soon as he could... Most of us had no idea how old he was. For him to pull off what he did between the ages of 13 and 30 is amazing.
There has been much argument over the last few years as to who "created" BMX. Our friend in Europe Gerrit Does has images of bicycle races with number plates on city bikes over jumps and berms. But one guy started putting on races regularly in SoCal
USABMX are proud to announce the "Class of 2015" - legends from all aspects of BMX. They are:

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