At 45 I could easily tell myself that doing the thing I love simply isn't going to be as much fun as it was in my 20's. That I wouldn't progress, I wouldn't make tons of new friends and that I wouldn't have awesome road trips and fun experiences. But I just don't buy that.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
