Our DIG Locals series is usually reserved for unsponsored riders, but Colombia's Santiago Laverde sent through this one from pre-covid time and a trip to France that himself and a bunch of friends from back home took. Nothing but good vibes.

THE BIG DAWG VS THE ONE AND ONLY JOJO! This game had a few hiccups early on with the rain and some injuries but in the end, WE MADE IT WORK! Stoked on how this came out. Tune in next week for game FOUR! Adem Gunaydin VS. Jeff Gentry at Walker Mill Skatepark!
Nothing beats hitting some unfamiliar streets with your homies and seeing what you find. Putting in the work to discover new spots is fun and feels super rewarding when you uncover a gem.
PAULTJE PILS. We've almost taken on Paul Thoelen as a Dutchman. He's here way too often to be considered 100% German. In fact, when he's home, he lives half an hour from the border and boy-o-boy we would love for him to join the Dutch family. But BMX family is close enough to continue with the good times with Paul, his brother Max and his parents. Paul is that rider that goes higher than 95% of the riders at the contest and makes everything look good. A pleasure to watch. Last call for alcohol? Don't forget to mention that to Paultje Pils.
Last package you received from a sponsor?
Paul Thoelen: 3 days ago. Love you Vans!
Last time you went to the gym?
Paul Thoelen: I actually had a full week of training last week haha. Usually I’m not really into gyms.
Last advice you got from a good friend?
Paul Thoelen: To go to bed after falling asleep at the bonfire.
Last contest you entered?
Paul Thoelen: Red Bull Uncontained in November last year.
Last contest you won?

This Army Helicopter Mechanic Is An Amazing BMX Rider! by Scotty Cranmer
My friend Brad is a U.S Army Helicopter Pilot but he is also a lifetime BMX rider that came by the skatepark in his uniform during a lunch break to ride the skatepark with us and he did some amazing tricks including huge tail whips and quarter pipe airs!

The French word Bruit translates as a noise, a sound or a rumour. Made from lost footage found on a broken computer and some newer stuff too, this video is a rare sighting into the riding of the elusive Antony Lille, a murmur from the streets of Toulouse...
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
