By Our BMX. I'm ready for the comments about covid, but last weekend, there was a trail jam out in far-east San Diego and I couldn't help but head out. The Foss Trails have been slowly building steam over the last couple months as a bit of an Oasis in the middle of this pandemic. The owner, Chase Cromwell, welcomes kids from the neighborhood and pretty much anyone who knows someone who knows someone...if that makes sense. But yeah, it was good to feel a sense of normalcy and be at an event at the tail end of 2020. Gives me hope for next year...
Every Halloween Shawn Shimkets has invited anyone who was down to come ride his rather epic backyard trail setup. This year it just so happened to be over 90 degrees and absolutely perfect outside...well, possibly a bit hot when you're riding in a gorrila suit. Nothing crazy here...just a dope backyard setup, friends, and some laughs.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
