From the Archives: Andrew Faris, 1996
This one is from a contest Play Clothes held in Montreal, Quebec. It’s right about the time I started figuring out BMX photography, without completely blowing it. Funny side story: I got third in pro flat (Andrew Faris pictured above won). Hal Brindley asked if it was cool if he gave me Canadian money for the placing. I didn’t think about it and said yes. I forgot to consider Canadian currency was worth of half of US currency at the time. Oh well, it was fun, so it didn’t really matter. This shot of Andrew screams the time period, and Andrew himself. A Basic Bikes frame, a Baco “Pride” sticker. 48 spoke wheels. Pony tail. This was when Andrew was starting to win everything, and right before he got on the Schwinn team.

Jeremy Wilder added this brilliant insight on Feb 12 11 at 4:27 amI’ll bet that bike weighed about 37 pounds. Which was about 2 pounds more than Andrew…
