Wow what a crazy year 2010 has been. As many of you know, I crashed badly at the Chicago Dew Tour doing a 540. From the crash I suffered a 3rd degree separation on my left shoulder. This only aggravated years of abuse and past injuries to the point that time and basic rehab will not heal the injury to extent I need. Since the Chicago Dew Tour, I’ve ridden in the X Games, HB US Open, and Portland Dew Tour with the injury. Unfortunately now with both shoulders popping out every time I ride, I decided to get X-rays & MRI to find out how to fix what’s going on. Stadi Session Helsinki event report. Philip Kölsch fills you in.

What brought you to Helsinki last weekend? 
Philip Kölsch: Well, it was the weekend of the Stadi Session, so it was kinda sure for me that I wanna be there.
Was the Stadi session comparable to the Simpel Sessions that you’ve visited?
Philip Kölsch: It was definetly different compared with the winter Simpel Sessions. But that doesn't mean that it was less good!

Being down in France it’s cool to look up the BMX spots. The Anglet trails was on the agenda again but since the former TomTom died we kind of had to go on what we remembered. After a couple of bad turns we made it to the spot. I’m actually not sure if the locals enjoyed the coverage we gave them last year because on arrival the place was locked up with a chain. “Locals-only” it looks like. Because it had rained hard the previous night the jumps were a bit too wet anyway. 
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
