When it's your dime and time why wouldn't you go to a dreamland of perfect spots and weather? Sometimes though (especially riders that have been doing it for a while) you realise that it's not always about the spot you've seen in everyones video but what parts of the globe that haven't been frequented by a BMX. Enter James Dean, Regan Miller and Drew Morton. Three riders who reside in Vancouver, Canada. All have visited some of the dreamlands but wanted a different adventure. So off they went to explore the depths of the Vietnam Jungle, the streets of Ho Chi Minh, Da La, and the country side in between with Isaac Clarke as a tour guide. This isn't your star studded video filled with bangers, glass rails and ledges. No this is the kind of video that gets you hyped to see this deece ass world. Buy a ticket to a foreign country, bring your bike, enjoy and repeat... "We purchased motorcycles, strapped our bikes to them and let the coast line guide us to a truly deece experience. Janky flat rails, cheap street food, religious dogma and controversial history- Vietnam was an unforgettable place that will forever be documented through the lens of BMX in this postmodern internet experience." - Drew Morton
Going away with your mates isn't an easy feat and unless you're one of these filthy rich folk it comes at a considerable cost to go abroad. There's the easy options like SoCal, Barcelona, New York, Austin, Berlin and Paris to pick a few. Of which no one can blame you for heading out to either.

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