9 months later in early 2020 we found ourselves back in Taiwan. After around a week of eating extreme amounts of the local cuisine and indulging in the seemingly endless supply of spots, Corona Virus had made its way onto the world stage. Apart from a cancelled trip to Hong Kong due to the 'Rona, the trip carried on as planned despite the virus. We moved around Taiwan for just over 3 weeks before flying to Hanoi. Spent 10 days around the north of Vietnam riding dirt bikes and doing stupid shit, and six days of extreme heat and humidity down south in Ho Chi Minh city riding the handful of spots on offer. With the whole corona virus thing starting to take hold and funds dwindling, we decided to make Japan our last destination before heading back home. We stayed near Tokyo for a couple weeks, enjoying our final days of the trip before a hellish 28 hour journey home, and have been in lockdown ever since!
A huge thank you to Allen Liu, Daichi Kawamoto, Robin Sloot, Hikaru Funyu and everybody else we met along the way. Can't wait to come again!
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
