Never would've switched to a clutch coaster, but the planetary is an awesome time.
CHAD CURTIS does things his own way and it shows... you can see the passion in his riding... Hailing from Nanaimo, BC moved to norcal in 2011, and has been living in Reno for the past year and a half... this was filmed mostly in Reno with a little Vegas and a little Davis...
Name: Chadwick Curtis
Age: 29
Hometown: Nanaimo, BC Canada. Then Grass Valley California for 10 years, now I’ve been in Reno Nevada for 6 months.
Hook-ups/Sponsors: Cultcrew, TheSpaceBrace, Vans Bicycle Center.
The FAT Favorites list:
-Spot to ride: I love Deck park in AZ, UC Irvine is a big skatepark, and honestly any spot that requires creativity.
-BMX video: Well, I have an Anthem II tattoo… but also Talk is Cheap is an extremely influential video for me.
-Website: Croooober.com is the website for Japan’s used car part shop UpGarage and I spend far too much time searching for everything from wheels to shift knobs.
-Web video: I’ve probably watched Tammy McCarley’s Blunted Athletics 2013 remix more times than anything else, but also I love all of Rob Diquattro’s edits both for himself and Hood Antics
-Food: A good steak… Medium rare.
“Much like the rest of the world life has not gone to plan for Chard for the last few years but between renovating houses, rebuilding vehicles, and moving to Reno he managed to put together this piece for the Shop as well as Cult and Space Brace.”
One of the coolest things in BMX is the unique individuals that make up this community...Chad Curtis is exactly this, super original, passionate, creative, BMX lifer...Stoked to finally show you some of his shredding...
Chad has been killing it for a while now. He has been on a mission lately and stacked up some clips for you guys. Hit play.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
