Parts you go through most often?
Hmmm... The last 18 months it’s been inner tubes, tyres, chain rings and chains... Also, I always try to run thorn-proof (extra thick) inner tubes if I can.
Who are some of the people who hook you up with parts when you need them?
For BMX components, I get flow through ZEAL distribution.
Do you care about the looks of your bike?
Nowadays I like my bike to look smooth... A few years ago it was a different story – Taped up seats, missing spokes, bent chain-ring! You name it, I’d make it work, somehow!
Are you picky on how it rolls?
I like a bike to run as smooth as possible... Having said that I’ve rode some right pieces of s**t in my time! My current set-up rides dope. I will at some point soon be changing frames though! I like the BSD Forever frame, and the FIT Lurch, so it will more than likely be one of them!

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