What was your very first BMX bike?
Thomas Jouve: I got a Sunn Bicycle for Christmas when I was 5.
How much different is it from the one you're racing today?
Thomas Jouve: It was way smaller! Just a regular junior size BMX, straight from the shop. Nowadays all the parts are selected from what is the best for me and my riding.
What is a new product that you thought was very welcome in BMX?
Thomas Jouve: I think the disk brake was very welcome. At first I was hesitant but then I put one on my bike and liked it.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
