2008 Bmx Olympian Sifiso Nhlapo showed once again that injury does not slow the young South African down but that he bounces back to top form every time. Spending a week at the Red Bull DTC with his coach Herve Krebs testing strength & speed the two were confident leading into Manchester that Nhlapo could get on the box. With a strong contingent of European riders Skizo new that racing was going to be tough. He would need to get used to the track and his new signature bike the "1zero5" displaying his South African team MTN/Qhubeka colours very quickly.
The moto's came with mixed results which saw Nhlapo transferring to the main and starting towards the outside. When the riders were being introduced Great Britain's Liam Phillips was clearly the crowd favorite as the indoor stadium erupted when his name was announced.
Flip through the old school FAT-'zine issue 02. Page by page. Been here, done that.
Starting from issue two we had a little theme going. We had regular sections such as the Believe it, or not!? page where we could make up news and leave it up to the reader if they believed it, or not. We actually still have that going today just to cover our asses in case someone is coming after us with an axe.
We also had the RAD/LAME list which was liked and feared at the same time. The free sticker of issue two came from Lageja skateshop in Eindhoven. A shop that supported us though thick and thin.
The rap concert report this time was from the Just-Ice & DMX concert in Den Bosch. Good times, good times.
More and more English text so by now you should be able to read most of the FAT-'zines (if you don't know how to read Dutch).
There's a report from the skate contest in Belgium which was also a good time. Scooters were still hot (in our eyes). Remember, we were living in the year 1988.
There's a German scene report by Robert Moeller and a report from the UK by Dave Beveridge.
Paul writes about his last contest in Hampton, Virginia and of course there is some grafitti art by Speed this time.

After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
