FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

The mainstream industry of BMX is missing out on a lot of good riders and amazing art that is integrated into all that make up the bmx community. I feel like everyone is so hungry to "make it" and there isn't enough out there to feed them. I hope Joey keeps motivating the both of us to add to the starving bmx community. Maybe someday the real style will come out rather the same la di da interview, cookie cutter crap that represents bmx now. Really look at the people that outsiders [non-bmxers] see as bmxers. The ones on TV and Main Stream stuff. Laugh now at those of us that see it and express our view on it but its really sad that some of the coolest riders in the world get shifted aside just because they don't do triple whips or 360 flairs. They are usually the ones that could make the face of bmx not so gay. Face it, Bmx is not underground anymore. It's becoming Trendy, even to those that think a foot-jam is when you stub your toe.

Bay St. just seems like a voice that can speak to all with a new real stylish point of view attached to the roots of bmx with no regulations or worries that it won't sell. The coolest part is that it's open to anyone around the globe and any inspiring photographer or videographer can share their work through it since there is no regulation on page count.

I'd personally like to thank Joey for just getting everything together and making this idea a physical thing. I was really stoked on the first issue. I know it's probably cuz I was there to see what it took to get it all done but I still think it came out really cool. It's inspiring to know that there is room for growth in writing good stories as well as new skills and video/photography.

Joey: "Bay St. is an online BMX magazine that consistantly features shit unrelated to BMX, while keeping the content at the highest quality, Bay St. will show you the nitty gritty of riding and why it is such a unique thing. We had a couple reasons for making Bay St. an online magazine, here are those reasons....."

1. Most online content is either ripped off from other sites or is some little shitty "one hour at the park" edit.....
2. The Blog format has taken over all BMX related websites, no thought on design or direction, just daily content to sell for advertising....
3. Print seems to be dying a slow death because of the cheap online content of today.
4. The People, Places and Things I find most interesting about BMX, usually, never get the attention they should from websites or publications.
5. Most BMX magazines design their mag toward their number one demographic, 13 year old males...... I'm not 13 and I don't like Bike Checks......
6. BMX is fucking awesome. BMX is a huge part of most of our lives because of some reason. We can't quit riding for some reason, even though we consistently get broke off. For some reason, we make friends though riding every where in the world. Whatever that reason is, I think it is missing from most BMX publications. We are working on the 2nd issue now, it should be out soon. I have one of my best bros helping me, Jarrod Allen, he is super creative and overall just a great person to have help with anything and everything.
