Mongoose riders spend a lot of time on a plane. That comes with boring time at airports. When you have the laptop around and you can find an internet connection you can make that time go by a little faster. Like blogging for your sponsor's website. Cam White, Steve McCann and Simon Tabron have new blogs posted up on the Mongoose site. 
Today 25 April is a special day in The Netherlands. It's called "Lintjesdag" where people who have done special things for the community receive recognition. It was Gerrit Does' turn to make the trip to the Local Council where he received appreciation by the Mayor for all his work he has done for BMX. The list is almost endless and the Mayor had to keep it short. Gerrit was the last one to expect being called in for the honour and had already planned a trip to Germany on his motor bike for the day. 
After watching the dirt jumping in Germany in the weekend I had to go out and ride a bit myself. On Tuesday the termite destructor visited our place and I wasn't allowed in the toxic house for two hours. Great reason to drive up to Leende for a session at the Pony Trails. I didn't expect anyone to be there at 11:30am and I was right. A few new jumps were built since last time I was there and it all didn't look too crazy. Tables became doubles and some jumps were added to the middle line. That's where things went bad. 
Miles Rogoish comes through with a new web edit. He destroys his orange wheels in the first clip but his white ones hold up through the rest of his street moves, as does his Mankind bike. Check out the brakeless street riding clip by going HERE . 
A few years ago we had a killer interview up with Tim March where we had people ask questions for his first interview since his BMX days. OSUKBMX have been running some great Old School interviews and are now after UK BMX legend Tim March. They need your help though as Tim does not want to answer the same old questions. For more info read the OSUKBMX text below: 
I don't know about you but I like free stuff. United Bike Co. are giving out so much free stuff it's ridiculous. When you purchase a United Product you can expect something like a United Poster or a DVD for free! That's crazy, but good! Dean Hearne said we should check the website for more info but we couldn't find anything there. 
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
