Despite never actually living in Long Beach, Hobie Doan is practically a local with how often he's in town. He and LB local Forrest Hawk have been slowly collecting clips each time Hobie passed through town and they eventually stacked enough for this part. This is like organic, everyday Hobie right here. Good watch!
Summer mix of some of the funnest times out in the streets of Long Beach riding around with homies exploring around every corner of alley ways to industrial areas to urban nighborhoods.
Back in the midwest for the annual 2 week trip in Illinois! This time Illinois was in a State of Emergency due to flooding of the Mighty Mississippi River! With a few days of heavy rain, intense midwest humidity and terrible cases of swarming buffalo gnats that would attack when standing still, didn't stop us from getting out and having fun on 2 wheels. Nothing is quite like being back in your hometown with a fresh mind at old spots!
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
