There are tons of tricks to open up a beer bottle. If you don't want to carry a bottle opener with you all the time you might want to check into this Parano garage belt. It's got one built in.

If you only hit one post this week, make it this one. It tells you a little about what happened in the BMX world and as usual it was quite a bit. Halloween jams, new reality shows, the remaining 2009 BMX events, links to the FAT Favourite lists, the results of the comps, race results, a photo of Frankse at work, BMX insurance, Mirra's comp, and most importantly the MX season has started. Go check, check check.

High heels, hotpants or however you want to call those and a bit of punk style, or fashion. We got sent this particular photo from different corners so I believe it's worth putting it up as a FATBMX pin up of the week. Now hit that link and check how long that seatpost is.

A national indoor BMX centre will be built alongside Manchester's velodrome, home to Britain's cycling team, after an injection of funding. The North West Development Agency (NWDA) has agreed to put £8m towards the £19m cost of the project.

More than 200 jobs will be based at the site, making British Cycling one of the biggest employers in the area. As well as the arena, the building will include the headquarters of British Cycling and will be
