Steve Crandall - Episode 51 - The Union Tapes Podcast

Crandall has lived a BMX life, you probably heard about it before? But you wouldn’t have heard most of these topics. Cause I havent and I listen to most BMX audio out there. The Cran man could definitely be considered a ‘Lord of fun’ as one of their old t shirt slogans used to say. I wanted to know the in’s and out’s of FBM, one of my favourite BMX co’s of all time. Who was involved at the start? And what spawned its inception as it bounced from Ithaca to Fort Wayne to Ohio. How did they break into selling and designing soft goods, ads in USA ride, why did they make such chaotic and ground breaking videos, what was road fools 2 like. Why did they end up becoming a full blown bike company-and one of the most important brands of the 90s- and what happened to finish it off? The stories behind the jams, how they went up against the multi million corporate X games with a bunch of pallets in parking lot and where it went from there to what he is up to now?
