Damn Son! FAT Friday number 24. News, news, news, as if you don't get enough during the week. Here's even more!

-FATBMX webmaster Jos Wissink found a cool oldskool photo in a scrap book. It's from the very early '80-s and the kids (including Jos) had a petition going for a quarterpipe in town.

-Chris Job is trying to raise some money for cancer research, what better than a full back and front wax (and down below if he raises

enough!). Now it's 2008, you can do all this on-line. So if you would like to help out, and leave a comment and a donation, click here.

-Who doesn't like the Fids? The S&M/Lord legend from the UK has a scrapbook up on the Source website. Flip through it and hopefully you'll meet the Fids at the next contest.

Sponsor news:
-Dakota Roche off Primo
-Nathan WIlliams off Primo
-NIKE 6.0 on Dew Tour

-Greg Higgins was part of the artists that worked on the number plates that were shown in China recently. Greg now has his own website too. Check it out by going HERE.

-A 27 feet air on a bicycle is crazy. Kevin Robinson pulled it off in Central Park, NYC. The ramp conditions were a bit better than Mat Hoffman's set-up years ago but there's a Kevin Robinson Invitational going on for those who think they can do better.

-You didn't miss issue 16 of FAT-'Zine, did you?

-We have an interview up with Dutch Olympic BMX athlete Raymon van der Biezen who will be going orange in August.

-At every FAT-JAM party in OJA the old and rusty handlebars get ripped off the ceiling for some serious BarBong sessions. Going in as a pilsener, coming out as a tasty dark brown. Mike de Wit made a sticker of it that will be available at the FAT-JAM. 20th edition on 9 August 2008.

-The first batches of X-Games athletes have been announced. Also these pre-qualified Dew Tour riders are welcome to compete in Baltimore next week.

-The Seat Beat exposition is moving to Lyon and will be shown at the BMX Force BMX shop starting from 27 June; 18:00hr. Visit the shop at 8 rue d'Aguesseau, 69007 Lyon, France.

-Etnies BMX legend Ruben Alcantara's FUEL TV's "Firsthand" is on this Sunday (6/15/08) at 5pm and 8pm (check local listings). Here's an interview with Nina B.

-Some people need you to sign their petition to keep riding. The Parma trails need to stay alive and James McCoy needs signatures to get BMX in a new amazing park in Houston, Texas. It only takes a few minutes so go ahead and sign it to support BMX.

Let's hand this over to DJ:

-I just got off the phone with Tony "ten taco's" D over at Haro who informed me he had just booked Dennis Enarson & Mike Ishizuka flights to Cologne for the Masters. Vans are sending Colin Mackay & event sponsor Rockstar energy drink will be supplying The Nyquist so Haro will have a good U.S showing at this years event.

-The UK Volume crew headed up by Mason Smith & token US rider Biz recently won the Ride to Glory road trip. Mason has also hooked up little Jack Watts on the Alienation flow team, keep your eyes open for Jack... he's 10yrs old & is unreal

-I sold a pair of gold Shimano DX's for £85 on ebay!

-Mark Webb has hurt his back again but not as bad as before & will probaly be on his bike by the time you read this.

-Ben Wallace is back in the USA for the 1st 2 Dew Tour stops but will be back for the Masters. He was also recently caught in bed with a pink micro scooter.

-Aussie Vert legend Matt Fairbarn is returning to Europe or a month next week which is great news as Matt is one of coolest fuckers ever to ride a bike.

-Sean Hargreaves & "Big" Mike ARE NOT DAVE MIRRA'S PERSONAL BODYGUARDS!!! This rumour that Dave had bodyguards when he was in FISE has been doing the rounds here in the UK, I love rumours!

-Myself & Remo have been on a hectic construction job at Heathrow lately & haven't had a day of for wayyyy too long so Remo has decided he isn't legit anymore & because of this he has to quit, to make himself legit. So when he gets on the plane for the Masters he will be unemployed but hopefully a lot happier. He will also be taking his unemployed ass to Cleveland for the 2nd Dew Tour stop. Me? I cant afford to quit, I am legit in my own way so I have to continue working! But, by the time this is online I will be in Shepton Mallet for the annual carnage fest that is NASS! This year will be the same as all the others with wayyy too many drunk kids, fights, crap food, whinging Daniel Dhers & tents. I can't wait! With a bit of luck I will find the time to do an event report for next week for those of you who won't make it but then again, being an "obnoxious commentator" what would I know anyway? Peace out homie dawgs.

Thanks DJ. Let's wrap this FAT Friday up. It's almost weekend. Time for a break. Thanks for checking www.fatbmx.com. Keep in touch.
