"‘ARCHIVED’ is a collection of footage that I’ve been holding on to for the past few years – I had plans to make it into a larger project but ran into some medical issues earlier this year that cut the timeline short. It includes mostly footage of Jeff Purdy and myself with some guest clips of Mikey Birch, Gene Barclay and Zach Zeh. Enjoy!" - Sam Downs
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
