FBM Bowl Jam Photo Gallery

“People will come Ray. They'll come to Iowa for reasons they can't even fathom. They'll turn up your driveway not knowing for sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at your door as innocent as children, longing for the past. Of course, we won't mind if you look around, you'll say. It's only $20 per person. They'll pass over the money without even thinking about it: for it is money they have and peace they lack… This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh... people will come Ray. People will most definitely come.”

Red, Gold & Green - More Than Just A Colorway

by jpr • 04/21/2013 - 23:40

Words and interviews DBZ

 

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past couple of years, you've probably noticed an ever-increasing number of bike companies offering parts, apparel and even complete bikes in the red, gold and green colors of Rastafari. Why this is so popular is a continuing source of bemusement to many in the BMX industry, and it seems unlikely that everyone who buys these parts has a clear understanding of what Rasta actually means. So, once you're done getting completely baked celebrating whatever 4/20 is supposed to be about, put the bong down and read this. The 21st of April is Grounation Day, marking the 47th anniversary of the Ethiopian King of Kings Haile Selassie I's first visit to Jamaica, in what became a pivotal event in the popularization of the Rastafarian movement. It's estimated there are anywhere up to a million Rastas in the world today -- What follows is an attempt to shed some light on the meaning of this peculiar trend in BMX.

Motoring with United's Corey Martinez

by jpr • 04/02/2013 - 11:32

I remember way back in the early 00s traveling around with Bob Scerbo and Brian Wizmerski all over the east coast during what were some of Corey's first extended filming and photo trips. The kid from Alabama with the sick goatee was green behind the ears to say the least, but man has he come so far since those days. We caught up with him during a quick motorcycle jaunt from Tennessee to Texas to see what in tarnation he's been up to lately and what lays ahead in the not so distant future. Check the interview after the jump.

Mutiny Bikes - Cool Story Bro: Gaz, Roey and Rich

by jpr • 03/21/2013 - 16:25

 

Just recently Gaz from Mutiny Bikes strolled by our office with Matt Roe and Richard Forne in tow, so we invited them into our back garden where we discussed what they have conjured up in the form of 'Cool Story Bro' as their major video project for 2013. It's also part of a collaboration with  Monster Rally, who according to Gaz, "Are kindly going to be supplying the tunes for all these video and we have the new Mutiny x Monster Rally shirt available exclusively through our webstore." Read on to learn more about this unique filming project.

 

All right, give me a little background on 'Cool Story Bro' and why these guys are in town?

Gaz: So at the start of the year me and Rich started talking about ideas, and to do something different instead of the regular BMX edit, which is cool and all, but we wanted to do something that was a little more interesting. Show off some character of the guys on the team.

 

What's the plan for pulling that off and making it more interesting? Do you have detailed ideas?

Gaz: Nah, Rich you'd probably better to answer this than me.

Rich: I dunno, everyone on the team's got a real strong personality, just spending enough time with them to try and get that out of them.

Gaz: Yeah, there's not a format to shoot it, Rich is just kind of hands on and feel it out.
