FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

Steve Crandall is still in the woods and apparently in the streets after turning 50 the day before we filmed this episode. I caught up with Steve while on Cinema BMX team trip out in Richmond,VA last month. We had a chat between spots with no plans no rules just talking shit. Happy Birthday mate!

Just a couple BMXers in the woods dropping in and getting coffee laps before starting the day… Nate Hanger and Steve Crandall are the riders behind the scenes at Drop In Coffee and RADshare.

In its heyday, the FBM bus was literally fire beer and mayhem on wheels. This blacked out, FBM logo emblazoned, straight pipe exhaust attention grabber transported the FBM team up and down the East Coast and as far deep as Austin, Texas.

Edits from the FBM Archives… Steve Crandall 411 Day In the Life

In its heyday, the FBM bus was literally fire beer and mayhem on wheels. This blacked out, FBM logo emblazoned, straight pipe exhaust attention grabber transported the FBM team up and down the East Coast and as far deep as Austin, Texas. After five years of road wear, the general unreliability coupled with the cost to maintain the beastly vehicle became too great and Steve Crandall hung up the keys for now. For the last two years Crandall has called the decommissioned vehicle home and has repurposed it into a live-in art studio complete with a wood burning stove. A BMX party bus turned serene creative space… Crandall walks us through the evolution of the FBM bus.

'A person’s motivation reveals a lot about them. and I wanted to find out more about what motivates the one and only Steve Crandall beyond what we know of him with FBM. Always creating and enjoying things with the community that he surrounds himself with, Crandall’s intentions through life are pure, and his actions reflect that. He holds BMX values as a foundation and that spreads into every aspect of his life. Whether he’s coasting a big bike down a hill, digging in the dirt, or painting a coffee cup, it all comes from the same place and for the same reasons. This short film was shot in early April 2018 and documents Crandall in Richmond VA dealing with his first ever solo art show, and his preparation for the show 6 hours north in his hometown of Ithaca NY.' - Kenny Horton
