Last weekend round 7 and 8 of the European BMX racing championships took place in Kortrijk, Belgium. It would be the first time of the year that people were riding in their new gear, on their new bikes and for new sponsors. The several classes were split up in different groups which is great because you don't have to wait for all the classes to see the Junior and Elite classes ride the track again.

The page numbers were added at the end with a number mold. The pages needed to line up and all of you who have done a 'zine before know that this did not always go smoothly.
But it's 1988 and issue 3 came out. It had the following content:
The cover was shared by Jeroen Hoogaerts (RIP) and Bart on the skateboard. The issue had lots of art again, made by Joachim Mulkens and Speed One who showed up with new drawings during school breaks.
