PAULTJE PILS. We've almost taken on Paul Thoelen as a Dutchman. He's here way too often to be considered 100% German. In fact, when he's home, he lives half an hour from the border and boy-o-boy we would love for him to join the Dutch family. But BMX family is close enough to continue with the good times with Paul, his brother Max and his parents. Paul is that rider that goes higher than 95% of the riders at the contest and makes everything look good. A pleasure to watch. Last call for alcohol? Don't forget to mention that to Paultje Pils.
Last package you received from a sponsor?
Paul Thoelen: 3 days ago. Love you Vans!
Last time you went to the gym?
Paul Thoelen: I actually had a full week of training last week haha. Usually I’m not really into gyms.
Last advice you got from a good friend?
Paul Thoelen: To go to bed after falling asleep at the bonfire.
Last contest you entered?
Paul Thoelen: Red Bull Uncontained in November last year.
Last contest you won?

My friend Brad is a U.S Army Helicopter Pilot but he is also a lifetime BMX rider that came by the skatepark in his uniform during a lunch break to ride the skatepark with us and he did some amazing tricks including huge tail whips and quarter pipe airs!

The French word Bruit translates as a noise, a sound or a rumour. Made from lost footage found on a broken computer and some newer stuff too, this video is a rare sighting into the riding of the elusive Antony Lille, a murmur from the streets of Toulouse...
There are riders out there that can't be stopped. They're the first to start riding and the last to get off the ramps. Irek Rizaev is one of those riders. For Irek this pandemic is hard to deal with. He can't sit still. He wants to ride. He wants to travel. He wants to have dinner with more than 2 of his friends. A little catch up with the Russian below in the Last Call... Q&A.
Last contest you entered:
Irek Rizaev: It was 27th of June, but it was small local and only for 15 riders. Because of the pandemic. The last big one was Simple Session.
Last contest you won:
Irek Rizaev: It was this contest I won at the opening of a big extreme park at my home city.
Last package you received from a sponsor:
Irek Rizaev: It was around two weeks ago. Package with the frame of my own brand REDBMX.

'Winter Procedure' - Glasgow BMX ft. Dan Banks, Thomas Roulston & Guy Scroggie
Not even the Scottish winter can keep the Procedure dudes indoors. Luc Lynch-Rice spent the colder months following the likes of Dan Banks, Thomas Roulston and Guy Scroggie, documenting his friends and the city with his Super 8 cam in hand, and usually under the cover of darkness.
This video is a video that Jared from right before he moved to Austin Texas. Jared is one of the best bike riders I have ever seen his ability to just move the bike however he wants is always so amazing. He is a man of many talents, and bikes is most definitely one of them! These are some of Jared's best clips that he has filmed and I was honored to have been filming and growing up with such an amazing biker rider.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
