This isn’t just a travel article. It’s a story about staying curious, staying kind, staying broke, and still somehow shredding harder than ever. Along the way, Mir links up with local legends, eats concrete, finds family in strangers, and brings a contagious energy to scenes that needed it. If BMX could issue passports, his would be stamped to hell and back.
Huge thanks to Mir for supplying this video from his time in Korea to accompany the article.

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