Cody Thomas: hood antics TM from Rob DiQuattro.
I'll never forget the day I met Cody. I was 18 and had just moved to Columbus for school. I was out pedaling alone looking for spots and other kids on bikes. I found a group and awkwardly forced myself into riding with them. Then Cody rolled up. He came right up to me, asked if I was new, demanded my number, told me he'd be picking me up to ride the flow on the reg, and then made fun of me for being too street, style daddy, and salty cleveland mane. He took me in as a brother without a second thought.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
