Lee Reynolds made the cover of issue # 10 of FAT-'zine. He had not seen it until recently when he found it online. That's why we're putting these things on the internet. Those who did not save anything from back in the day still have a way to flip through the pages; digitally. It's 1989 and we made it to the Mega Free event in Paris. We started working the "press pass scam" to get into places for free and to get backstage. Paul brought a suitcase, long jacket and a baret to impress the security guards and it worked. When he opened up the suitcase backstage his bottle of Coca Cola and bag of chips rolled out, but he was in! That game never stopped. Back to the issue:
Carl Inkpen reported from a competition in Farnham, UK, Pingel went to Rom skatepark. We had 6 'zine reviews (Liberty, ACK, Spazum, Shred Zone, Mayhem and R.A.H.F.). There was no Photoshop back then but there were scissors and glue to make a double air on page 15-16. We traveled to Roncq, France for a contest and had a good time as usual. 

Our local rap group was called Divorze, read the interview on page 22-23. Lars From Mars (BMX Masters MC) wrote another story for FAT and we interviewed Eric Fischer. If Shaun Allison rings a bell you must have been interested in the UK street scene back then.

The drawings we posted in FAT are still awesome to this day. Just check page 31. The MegaFree report in Bercy takes up 9 pages to prove that we were actually working over there and not just drinking coke and eating potatoe chips. Ice Motherfucking T made it to Eindhoven for a concert. The taperecorder and camera were hidden in the underpants again and we got a sweet photo of Ice T on page 42. We made another trip to Duesseldorf and found a midi ramp and some dirt jumps. 2 free stickers on one page. A Martin Herrick interview, EnergieHal report, Rad-Lame list and issue 11 preview finish up issue 10 of FAT-'zine. Now flip through the pages by following that link below:
