THIS IS A CD ROM, NOT A DVD.

You have to remember, back in 2000, computers felt young and dangerous and disruptive, and cd roms were shiny and high-tech. Everyone had a hunch that digital was the next new wave, and everyone was right of course, but there would be a few decades of thrashing about before post-print media and culture and the internet would settle into something resembling a groove. With 650BMX, Sean Maher and Anthony Moreschi might've been the first to take a swing at the idea of a digital bmx magazine.

According to my memory, there was a clickable page-turning-esque interface with some written content. That interface won't load because my computer is too new, but you can still view the raw Quicktime video files.

I still vividly recall the interview footage, which featured a couple of guys named Charlie Ronayne and Steve Wight shredding a mini ramp in the woods with some unique brakeless style I'd never seen before.

Definitely a museum piece for the midschool media completist.
