BMX Party Time!

This edit’s (g)old. Visit Vital BMX for the full interview

Brian Tunney has been a fixture in BMX for a long time, both as a rider and someone working behind the scenes in the industry. From writing for Dig, traveling the world, managing teams, and judging contests, Brian is as deep into BMX as you can get. We asked Brian a few questions to give you a look at what one version of the BMX can look like.

We’ve also included a couple videos of Brian riding both flatland and street, sometimes at the same time. Brian knows that having fun on your bike has no boundaries.

Brian Tunney’s valuable lever

Send a letter to Scott Brown!
It’s not only cool that Brian Tunney actually takes the time to write back to some of the prison letters they get, but he also posts stuff on the Dig website at 2:37am.

Scott Brown will be receiving a letter from us.

It’s a bit of my own fault for being on the Internet so much this week. But it did get cold this week, so I’m passing some of the time I spent riding during the warm months actually watching BMX-related videos. And what I’ve found is that homophobia is rampant in BMX. Which is weird, considering that through most of the ‘90s, BMXers could joke comfortably about homosexuality. Hell, the entire series of Baco videos were loosely based around homosexuality, (including Baco 7 Pride, who’s cover was a gay pride flag.) But that was a different time I suppose, one fostered on sketch comedy from The Kids in The Hall, music by Right Said Fred and cartoons from the Ambiguously Gay Duo.
