The Head Angle #6: Eddie Fiola

January 08, 2020

Names like Hoffman, Mirra, Aitken and Reynolds spring to mind. Yet before them, one name defined freestyle in all it’s glory, possibly more than anyone will ever do again.


From his early days in the burgeoning Californian skatepark scene back in the 80’s, Eddie’s ride into the history books of BMX is more than well documented. 


Endless magazine covers, video parts and world tours showcasing his ability to blast the hell out of anything and look stylier than anyone doing it. 


Far from just a rider, his ideas became a staple of BMX to come, and his ability to market himself to the world meant he could make a career out of BMX.  A well paid one at that, and one that saw him step beyond the BMX industry and onto the big screen. 


That move saw him become part of more than a few Hollywood productions since the seminal BMX flick 'RAD'. 


Kick back as we go deep in this podcast, one that we’re more than a little proud of. Introducing the one, the only, the Flying Banana, Eddie Fiola.
