The BF-IT documentary is a video produced by Stew Johnson that I simply had to see. Thanks to Ben Ward I got a copy in the mail last week and waited for a good moment to watch it. With no distractions around I put the DVD in the player and hit the triangle. I got sucked into it from the start as I remembered many photos that BF had in the magazines. BF was a racer first and did both for a while. He simply liked to ride his

bike and preferred that over spending time in the gym getting bulky and strong.

A big thing for BF was missing the ABA #1 title in Oklahoma. I happened to be there and remember it well. The transition that Brian made afterwards to the dirt jump / freestyle side of BMX kicked off strong when he had moved to the POW house in Westminster, California. It didn't take long for BF to transplant his natural style to the ramps or the dirt jumps. His racing skills sure helped getting over jumps.

Foster's life gets displayed well in the video because of the interviews with people that played a big role in his BMX career such as his brother Alan, John Paul Rogers, Chris Moeller and Harold McGruther. They have stories from beginning till the end which entertained me as I watched the DVD.

Simply put, the BF-IT DVD is

a must have for all who have ever rode with BF, hung out with him or raced with Brian. Find a Fit Bike Co. dealership. They're your best chance of getting a copy. Props to Stew for getting this done. It's a keeper.
