Dirt Rag is the spiritual heir to the Fat Tire Flyer.
In the early years of Dirt Rag, I got a package from some guy out west, a guy by the name of Charlie Kelly. In the package were some magazines. Fat Tire Flyer it was called. It was the first MTB magazine, published from 1980 to 87. Charlie had come across a copy of Dirt Rag and immediately sent me a bunch of his ‘zines. Seems I had found my funk-soul brother from another planet, as I dug See-Kay’s irreverent and humble vibe. It was like looking in the mirror thousands of miles away.
