The stories I tell here are from his early days, when we started hanging out, he started getting back into BMX again and some of the stories that followed.
From the early days Fids lived a life he was pursuing with a passion putting as much into it as he could.
We all learned lessons from this guy.
As some one online put it recently, "the afterlife ain't ready for the Fids"
Fids was the first episode we did for The Union Tapes, and served as the perfect launch for what we were trying to do. This is a tribute to Fids, who left us on the 08/12/24 he leaves a legacy and a half.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
