How many tubes do you go through?
I think about maybe 8 a year, and sometimes I fix them if I am patient enough and for riding street or dirt it’s another story since the hits are greater
How hard do you tighten your axles?
I tighten them as hard as I can until I see veins and get dizzy! It’s a feeling I can't describe hahaha..
What tire pressure do you run? I would think around 7-8 bar, but I can't say for sure as I don’t have a pump with a clock. But I stop pumping when I can't dent the tire with both thumbs. And then it’s two ‘’thumbs’’ up!
Do you ever modify your bike to ride different styles?
Yes, sometimes some parts brakes by accident but then I try to adapt to the new situation and therefore new style / tricks might evolve. But I also change bars once in a while to change my style at that time, it helps when you feel stuck during sessions, or I remove the brake / put it on the other side of the bar. At the moment I have turned the fork around that the brake is placed under the down tube if I got the bar in a normal position (see picture). To stay fresh!
What tools do you take riding?
After facing all kinds of problems I bring all the tools needed to assemble the complete bike, and even extra spokes as they brake. And a bad ass sharp mofo fruit knife and a spork.
Thanks to?
I would like to thank Vallyside distro for taking time and supporting and I want to thank Martti at Jungle Rider bike company for sponsoring. Not to forget Robin Brown my uncle who believed in me and helped me getting into BMX. Final thanks to everybody who enjoy my riding, thank you.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
