Summer 2020 Promotional Video
FIT's french front-end bike godfather Florent Soulas did lockdown his own way... like riding a huge pile of gravel like a dirt jump. This guy has creativity flowing from him. Here's a quick-fire dose from himself and friend/filmer Leo Mongendre. Look out for something a little more serious from these two soon.
Good times out at Graveyard for the summer trail jam. Huge shout to all the locals, past present and future. Enjoy the show.

Last summer we went on vacation to Germany and visited our good friend Jaoa Danaikrit. We basically grew up riding FGFS together and he used to come live at our house for 3 months out of the year. This time the tables have turned and Jaoa was the one playing host.
Pros swap to flat pedals at Desert Classic National race in Phoenix
Over the weekend something happened at the USABMX race in Phoenix, Arizona that some people had been waiting for. The Pro Open class decided collectively to race on flat pedals. For the heck of it. Not everyone came prepared with a good pair of riding shoes and platform pedals but since no points were on the line it was agreed to do it anyway to spice things up. Keep in mind that several riders in the pro class have never raced with flat pedals before, after Mike King and Brian Lopes had introduced them to BMX in the mid-nineties. Was racing better? We checked in with a few of the participants to find out what they thought of the Pro Open Desert Classic flat pedal race.
Nic Long:
Who initiated the change to flat pedals in Phoenix?
Nic Long: I did actually, kind of as a joke 'cause I ate shit in Friday's main. Wanted to make It a little less serious.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
