Firsthand with Tim “Fuzzy” Hall will follow this BMX pioneer as he talks about a life in the sport. Fuzzy is the godfather of BMX dirt jumping, which many hold as the purest form of BMX. While some whine about access to skateparks and wait for BMX approval, Fuzzy has taken a shovel in his hands and kept his vision of the sport untainted. But at the same time he started a revolution. Fuzzy recalls a grade school teacher who once said, “Do any of you kids want to have to make a living with a shovel?” To which Fuzzy replied, “I guess that is what I am going to have to do.” We will see Fuzzy as a pro rider, team manager, course builder, and dad.
