It’s hard for us to believe but October 2023 marked 3 decades since the first ever issue of DIG was printed. To celebrate those first 30 years we decided not just to talk about the old stuff (more info on that below), but to also focus on the one of the fundamentals of what we’ve always been all about - BMX photography.
Our very own Fred Murray is one of only a very small handful of BMX photographers still working in the world today, and staying true to DIG’s roots he does it all whilst based in our adopted city of Glasgow, Scotland - 5000 miles from where the BMX ‘industry’ has typically been based.
Follow Fred as he gives you a little background on how he got started and how he ended up shooting for DIG, and follow along as he takes you around DIG's adopted home city of Glasgow, Scotland in the company of Reed Stark, re-visiting some infamous hometown spots, before shooting with Denim Cox and Joe Foley for some upcoming BSD projects. The film takes you through what it's really like to be a BMX photographer in 2023, and what it's taken to work continually on the media side of the BMX world , whilst navigating the changes from print to online and back again. There’s even a sprinkle of DIG history stuff in there to enjoy too.
Special thanks to Dave Sowerby and bsdforever.com/

A six minute version of this film was shown throughout GLASGOW during the 2023 World Cycling Championships supported by Glasgow Life.
Our aim was to show the general public that there was a lot more to BMX than the sanitised version of a ’sport’ that was being delivered to them via the Championships. Watch it here: digbmx.com/videos/shots-fired...

Thank you!
Incredible content. Thanks for keeping print alive and kicking in the BMX world. More like this please!
Aw man, this is such a good watch. Nice one Fred! 🤘🏼
Nice little shout to Rosie Healey. I remember her little bit in DIG and thinking how crazy it was to see a female rider back then. DIG brought to the forefront, some of the biggest and most legendary riders that BMX has ever seen, whilst always giving a nod to the dudes that paved the way beforehand. Thank you for giving a F@3K 👍🏻
That means a lot Chris. Thank you!!!
This was awesome, loved it!
22:55 Props commercial flashbacks for sure.
Well remembered! Music by a a long defunct Belfast, NI band called SOME DAYS BETTER.
Beyond grateful to have been a staff writer a few years. Thank You.
Great seeing Fred in front of the lens for once. I’ve always admired his work, from the DIG’s I read when I started riding to the Above Below and Chapters photos. The David Grant Living for the City photo might be my favorite ever… Shout out Dave Sowerby too!
It's great to know there's people like this in bmx! I respect the hard work and dedication! Keep it up fr💪
Great video!! So grateful to meet Fred in person at the last cph jam. Such a nice humble guy 🙏
As always beautiful content with all culture involved in BMX. Huge thanks for all this time. I dream of reaching out this level of documenting Bmx to the world and to be able to live the dream!
