This edits marks a return to some of my hardest concepts focused around the pivot and beyond.
A mixtape of all the things I’ve been playing with this year. Front wheel, back wheel, both wheel and everything in between…
Name: James White
Hometown: South East London
Started riding BMX in: 1979
Number of bikes in the collection: About 10 complete I guess
Do you remember the moment that you decided to start collecting BMX memorabilia?
James White: No, I don’t think that ever happened, I prefer to call myself a BMX Historian, Hah. It goes far deeper than just collecting for me. The evolution of tricks, the media, it’s all of interest to me, the bikes and parts I have accumulated is just a part of it.
At this moment, do you wish you had started collecting earlier?
James White: Yes and No. I can’t help but cringe over the parts that have slipped through my fingers over the years but that was then and this is now. In the early 90’s everything was worthless.
