Spent a few weeks at Rock Hill BMX for some preparation, racing, and training! With the 2024 UCI BMX Worlds coming up, I figured sharing some training footage could be very useful!
Thanks to Paul Meacher for getting me to dig for footage of the Animal House vert ramp, beacuse it led to this- A bit more of one of the days I was with Dave while shooting what ended up being his "Firsthand" for Fuel TV back in 2007ish.
It feels like it's been a while since I rode the BMX bike, but after Day in the Dirt and that PAX video, I sent it straight up north to Woodward Camp for their Retro BMX Weekend. I ended up just watching and riding with everyone instead of recording, but figured I'd document a session before heading home on Sunday.
Now we’re Talkin’, Hot Damn! It’s that time of the week again! The brand new THD frames have arrived, another batch of @jasonball75’s LAMF frames just got in from paint, 20” Squib (@smhalahan) frames got some new color options, and some sample Rambler bars are in the works!

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