More radical goodness from the Boy Wonder. h/t to Vital BMX and, as usual, DigBMX. I think this makes 4 Devon posts on the site now. If I’m right I may have officially surpassed George on my Devon coverage.

Somehow I’ve managed to pick up a bit where George left off and back into old ATLBMX territory.

As usual h/t to DigBMX. I’m pretty sure Dig is a UK based magazine. Why am I getting updates about local riders from a UK mag? Because that’s just how the scene works here in the Dirty South. You have to go half way around the world just to find out what’s happening in your own back yard.
So, I’ve already covered the fact that I built a site, got burnt out, killed the site and became cranky. Except, I didn’t really become cranky. I used to love BMX. Growing up I was much better at things like gymnastics than I was sports that involved running or throwing. Couldn’t run, but I could huck myself without thinking twice. So, more or less, my life was “freestyle.” For that reason, among many others, BMX was, and STILL SHOULD BE, a huge interest of mine.
Now, important distinction, BMX is an INTEREST! It’s a hobby. It’s an activity. It is NOT a lifestyle. It is NOT a culture. When all is said and done it’s about RIDING LITTLE KID’S BICYCLES!
