A DIG BMX Production

Was BMX better back in the mid-school era? Print was thriving, videos showed more of the fun side of BMX, the web was ‘emerging’ and you could land with your foot off the pedal and still have it counted. Social media hadn’t formed enough of a bubble to completely engulf us and FBM were happily proving that fire, beer and BMX were simply meant to be. However - we need to face up to the fact that time has moved on and that some of us never really adjusted to a wider set of bars. Here’s 30 signs to remind yourself you were really there.
