We got a mail from someone asking: "I was wondering how people are supposed to submit photos for the pin up portion of your site?" Well, if we don't have room in the FATBMX Pin Up studio we also take contributions. So go find the right set up and photograph a girl with a BMX bike. That will work just as well. If she can do a few tricks, that would work even better. Today we have a cool shot of a girl getting rad on a Schwinn bike. She might have taken lessons from Chad DeGroot with the bike being upside down. Who knows. Feel free to contribute pics. We need a new pin up every Friday.

Do you have a special moment where you decided that doing tattoos is what you wanted to do?
Channon: My dad is actually a drawer. So I guess I got that from him.

Two riders, two new pairs of shoes from etnies. Low-top vs Hi top. Street vs Ramp. But who would you pick in a fight if you had to pick for either Ben Lewis from Liverpool or Tom Dugan from Austin? It could be an interesting match between the two. For certain Ben Lewis will have more force but underestimating Dugan's tactics would be stupid, he could make some surprise attacks.
