Stuart King was a highly influential figure in the 90s BMX scene, starting out at an early age, and quickly progressing. He was a contest regular, often flying stateside to ride in the seminal Hoffman bikes BS series. Getting a USA sponsor and quickly moving on to design and manufacture his own bike parts, with King bike co. Probably the first uk brand that had any success in the USA. And frame geometry thats still being used to this day.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
