Thanks to Qbmx.com, Steve Crandall and FBM Bike Co., as well as Profile Racing for putting me into cities I’d not normally get to travel to outside bmx.
Why Richmond on the FL-BMX site? Firstly, the scene there is spot on. The vibes, the camaraderie, the passion for pedaling tiny bikes around the city. Why not share the good times? Secondly, most of the players in their scene come down to Florida every year to take a break from the brutal East Coast winters.
Considering I usual do an annual post on their sojourn in Tampa, here’s, instead, a post of them on home turf.
Thanks for a kick ass weekend of good times and hospitality. Make Richmond a stop on your next road trip, you won’t be let down.
