Can you dig bmx

Bruce and I have been close friends for over 20 years so I was more than excited for us to have this conversation and help share his story with you. Our first interview with this guy just over a year ago was an education, to say the least, so for the latest episode of our DIG x Snakebite podcast series Shad Johnson sat back down with Dom Phipps to talk with him about the planned 2nd edition of his successful 'Wall To Wall Freestyle' book project. This is shaping up to be another comprehensive project about the history of our much loved 'sport' and includes new content on the Dirt Bros, The Curb Dogs, a King of Dirt history, the Odyssey, Haro and Airwalk stories, the origins of street riding and much much more.

Find out more about the release and how you can secure your copy of the 2nd book by following the links below. Legends and people that played a pivotal role in molding and making BMX what it is today. If you ride, rode when you were younger or appreciate the sport. This is always a great podcast.

Fun stories always. Good stuff. Getting back into bmx after a 28 year break! Found this podcast and really enjoyed the interviews and stories. DIG BMX has returned in its original print format following a lengthy absence as an online only title. Issue Hitting the cover of the issue is Kevin Kalkhoff, carving high up the wall of what appears to be a toboggan run.

He is also now the editor of Document. He didn't really have much knowledge of bike tricks, he was just standing too close to the coping, so when Ian's backwheel swung round it hit Percy's camera sending it flying to the floor and accidently firing the shutter.

Taj Mihelich had his first interview in this issue. You could tell even back then that he had a powerful style that was going to stand the test of time. Video grabs were cutting edge technology and issue 1 was full of them.

At the time, they served a purpose, but looking back, some of them are pretty poor. The inside cover featured Joe Sandland doing a front flip. Joe and the front flip soon disappeared. It's taken another 49 issues for the front flip to rear it's head back into the world of BMX. And I'm not sure where Joe is. I remember driving in a van and a crammed full estate car to a printers and loading so many boxes of the mag into any possible space.

I was amazed at the weight. For weeks, my house was used to store some of these boxes. The smell of the fresh print lingered for some time. My Mum thretened to burn them on a daily basis and I used boxes of mags as a speaker stand in my bedroom, just to keep some of them out of the hallway. Believe it or not there were bike tests in this issue. I hear you say. One of the bikes was a Redline which was completly smashed.
