The Razer BMX Spine Battle went off last weekend in Cologne, Germany. Riders from all over gathered on the Razer mini ramp to session in front of what would total to around 280,000 people at the largest video game show in Europe. A whole new contest format was put to the test: After a normal qualifier, 12 riders were to participate in a lottery. In each round, one rider's name was chosen, and that rider had the pressurizing decision of choosing who to battle against. The battle was decided by one vote from the crowd, one vote from FAT FAVOURITES list with Michael Luplow. Pics by Walter Pieringer/Cody Nutter/Mutiny

The Race-Evolution has succeeded: Berlin’s Mellowpark on Friday evening became the stage for the most innovative BMX race of the year with Dutchman Twan van Gendt snatching victory ahead of Americans Corben Sharrah and Mike Day in a tightly fought finale of the Red Bull R.Evolution. Flawless backflips from Nate Berkheimer and crowd favourite Desmond Tessemaker turned on the heat among the 5,000 spectators at the Mellowpark with Luis Brethauer going to the quarter final for Germany’s best performance of the evening. 
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
