Whilst away in Barcelona just before the lockdown the United crew were forced to take some days off the bikes, making for the perfect opportunity to sit down and get some bike checks. The second in their series comes from Miki Feck with his Incarnate V2 frame colorway and signature United stem and pegs.

Just when you thought a northerner couldn't get any more north, Wethepeople's metal pegs fanatic and vegan sausage roll abuser Dan Banks made the move from Warrington, England up to the home of the main DIG HQ - Glasgow, Scotland. Dan rides any spot, whatever the weather so we've been bagging clips with him on various local sessions and cut them together for this piece.
Hailing from the small town of Cianorte in Brazilian, the Comite Crew have begun to spread their wings to larger towns nearby like Londrina and Maringá and bagged seven minutes of clips. Loving the vibes in this.
MIke Dominguez still has it in this. It definitely looks like he filmed this all in a day, but he still has that pump. Mike looks like he maybe had gotten in a fight the night before because he has a black eye, but by the looks of him in this video, I'm sure he is the one that came out on top!
Top dice player Tim Storey spent the good chunk of a year in China filming this video then finished it off with a trip to Berlin and back on home turf in Australia. Tim's got a top-notch trick selection and ain't afraid to send it. Big moves from a top bloke!
"It is with heavy hearts that we have to close our doors after eight great years due to unforeseen circumstances (COVID-19). The Kitchen was Brett Banassiewicz's dream and we are happy to have been able to share it with you all. This skatepark was more than just a place to ride and we can’t thank you all enough for the support over the years.
To celebrate everything The Kitchen has been to all of us, come join us for one last weekend of riding May 29-31. Let’s pack this place!"
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
