Join us for an epic conversation with the one and only gOrk – the legendary Craig Barrette! This BMX icon has shaped the sport from behind the lens and through powerful storytelling over the years. From his early days as editor and photographer for BMX Action Magazine, capturing the raw energy of the BMX world, to his role as a photographer and editor with the American Bicycle Association (ABA), gOrk has been at the forefront of BMX media.
We've added flyers of events happening in 2024. Some are being held indoors but not all of them. Check before you make any plans. If you have event dates, if you've got something going, send us the info. We'll put your event on the FATBMX Event calendar so more people will get to know about your race or contest or jam that you're putting on. We're here to spread the love but you figure out yourself where you need to go. Contact the event organizers before you head over. Times/dates might have changed and we take no responsibility for that. Get together and enjoy BMX, the best thing in the world.
All 2024 Flyers inside as well as the event dates. Nothing else to do!? Get out there and have some fun.
Meet new people, visit new places, take some pics for your instagram, pull new tricks, become a better person and maybe win something along the way. Lots has changed or is changing so double check and keep us posted. See you out there!

Just when you thought Sweden was a quiet, peaceful land of fika, lakes and safe cars, Hotline Tim and the local scene come along. We'll be pulling a few sections from the video for your viewing pleasure - first up, Arvind Bolmström.
Sometimes amidst the chaos and misery of war come moments of hope, and the Ride To Glory jam that the Kyiv, Ukraine locals threw for BMX Day was just that. So much respect to the scene out there for supporting each other and making this day happen despite their circumstances.
It's Jesse's last day In America. So we had a session at Silverado skatepark with the homies: Jeff, Alex and Arnold. It was very hot and sweaty but we got some clips and enjoyed the sesh. Good look to Jess on his journey to Japan.

Have you saved your first BMX bike all this time?
Jah Witness: I have held onto my 1984 GT Pro "L" stamp since I've had it. I will never let that go!
Was your first bike the starting point of collecting more?
Jah Witness: No, I was given a GT from the mid '90s by my friend's parents after he passed away. I was clearing out my basement and sold it to a local collector. When he came over to pick it up he saw my '84, and pointed me to the BMX Museum and it opened up a can of worms.
