I Love My Bicycle: The Story of FBM Bikes – Trailer

Just stumbled upon this video while cruising the intertubes. From what I can tell, it’s already out and running at film festivals with limited showings. Probably won’t be showing here in the Valley, but hopefully a dvd will be coming out soon.

There’s a quote in the trailer that reminds me of a time at a Ramp Ranch comp years ago when Crandal chucked an FBM beanie at me from across the room and said “your beanie sucks, buy this one now!” Crandal is a sales-beast. And yes, of course I bought the beanie.

Here’s the description from IMDB, and the video below.

“In reaction to the big business run companies of BMX in the early 90’s, 17-year-old Steve Crandall started a company of his own called Fat Bald Men (FBM). What began as selling t-shirts out of a backpack has turned into one of the most well respected DIY bicycle companies around. Through fortune and misfortune follow FBM through their 15 years of mayhem as told by Steve Crandall and the rest of the BMX bicycle community from close friends to influential Icons like Dave Mirra and Mat Hoffman.”
