-We got another Workshop Wednesday posted this week by non other than FATBMX fan Niels-Peter Jensen. The Cheezy Rider flew some bikes over to Japan to get some riding done. Read about it by going HERE.
-Tom Ritzenthaler had the Workshop Wednesday episode before that. Tom was in The Netherlands the last two weeks building the Supercross track at Papendal. The asphalt is being put on as we speak but the national squad has already tried out some sections. It's looking massive. Does anyone know a girl that's crafty who would be into doing a Workshop Wednesday episode the first week of December?
-Girls? December? Yup, we're going to turn FATBMX into a Girls Only site the first week of December. We've been getting good feedback from the girl BMX community about it so it's going to look good. One week of girl interviews, tons of FAT FAVs lists with girls, girl videos, and a male Pin Up. We don't have one yet so please contribute some good stuff of your "friends". If you don't like girls, don't visit FATBMX from 1-7 December 2010.
-The first race of the SX season was a blast. The second one we skipped because it simply was too wet that day and the week before. Now we hear the third one is cancelled because of all the rain that has come down lately. Let's hope round 4 will happen. Volkel 28 November 2010. One BMX-er that went riding INDOORS on the Genoa supercross track is Stefan Lantschner. Damn he's good. Here's the clip.
-Tomorrow the 040 NovemberJam is taking place at Pim van den Bos' indoor park in Eindhoven. Strijp-S is where you need to be. Starts at 15:00hr and goes till 23:00hr. That's a long day of riding for only 5 euros. The XS section is finished and they're finishing up the huge quarter/wall and some more stuff for the jam. Soon you'll be able to take BMX Freestyle lessons at Pim's park as well. Olympic Training Center?
