"Scott Bentley is one of my oldest friends. Although he's always skated, his connection to the Tampa bmx scene has historically been tight. In the mid 90's, Scott moved away after we graduated from high school. Then moved back to Tampa to open his own salon about 15 years ago. And decided, recently, after getting fed up with the politics of local public skateparks, to build his own." - Matt Coplon
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
