It wasn't the best period to travel, but I wanted to change my mindset. So I put some stuff in a bag, took my bike and jumped in the first train for an improvised solo trip to the South of France. My video "Z2C" - Zone de Confort (Comfort Zone in English), was filmed in the streets of Nantes, but also during my trip including Bordeaux, Toulouse and Marseille. It was fully shot by phone, thanks to my friends or new friends that I met during the trip. A big s/o to them for their patience and for having warmly welcomed me." - Sébastien Rakoto @sebastienrakoto

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