1993. Road tripping back then. Still road tripping almost 30 years after. FAT's got history. Read Issue #28.
The cover of issue 28 shows what we were all about in 1993. In fact, it hasn't changed much. Road trips are the best. We brought you the BMX news in 1993 and we are still doing it now. 7 pages of BON in issue 27 and you were up to date of all the BMX news.
We received Huphter and Rabbit stickers for the free sticker page. Achim Kujawski received an interview and then we're moving on to oiur annual Mission Trails jam.
When noone was putting on a jam at SoCal's best dirt jump spot we took things in our own hands (again) and had a good time.
I missed the 1993 world's in Limoges, France but got some pics from Ralle and printed the results. Your pro champs? Retey, Hoffman and Wilke.
A 6-page Paul Roberts interview follows. He must have said something funny in this. Hope you can read it as the text is small.
The UCI BMX race world's took place 30 minutes from our place. We went there and even organized a KOD on the first straight.
We also had a Las Vegas session at "The Pits".
I am absolutely stoked to have Satoski on board riding my Silent Victory frame. Satoski is a rider that I’ve looked up to for a long time, he is the epitome of trails BMX and digs and rides more than anyone I’ve ever known, often alone. No bullshit tricks, just doing it for the pure love of it.
On the Friday night before Backyard Jam 2022 Round 4 at Unit 23 Skatepark, Greg Illingworth & Mongoose Bikes organised a 'Cash for Tricks' jam in the bowl... And it went off!

Last weekend, the FISE Xperience Series bring action sports vibes in a new destination, Thonon-les-Bains. Located on the benchs of Leman Lake's benches, it hosted two Parks specially set up on Place de Crète, to welcome BMX, Roller, Skateboard and Scooter competitions in front of crowds of spectators. As in Reims earlier in the season, if the title of winner of the FISE Xperience Thonon-les-Bains 2022 is at stake for the sports represented, the BMX Freestyle Park was also certified Coupe de France FFC and C1 by the UCI, which allow to get point counting for the world ranking.
This opportunity attracted the Triple European Champion Anthony Jeanjean, as well as Laury Perez to get Gold at this stop! To support BMX Freestyle Park athletes, a massive crowd gathered all around
