After watching numerous web videos every day I slipped in Issue 72 of Props in the DVD player and watched it on the "big screen." Man, how good was that. Good sounds, good quality and for once a better picture than the embedded block on the computer screen. I was stoked on the Tom Dugan Bio. The dude has style and attitude and no care in the world. Perfect combination. He definitely deserved a Bio in Props and is an indication that there are awesome riders doing their thing all over the place.

The UCI Supercross season kicked off in Denmark last weekend. You could watch it live here on FATBMX until the gate dropped for the Men's final. The screen froze and left everyone, who watched the live broadcast live, guessing who had won. It turned out that Ivo van der Putten crossed the finish line in first. Something that not many people had expected. We checked in with Ivo to see what happened:Going into the first Supercross race of the season I don't think many people had predicted to see you on the top of the podium at the end of the race. How confident were you when you went to Denmark?
Ivo: Confident is not the right word for me, I was just feeling great the last few weeks. I had a great winter. We’d been in France for 45 days, we all came back stronger, and looked forward to the races. It just all came together.
The 12th fastest time on Friday already showed that you had
This is my RACE CPX100 version of end 1980/ beginning 1981 with some lightweight stuff it made the heavy CPX100 a lot lighter, 11,83kg is not bad for a hi-tention steel bike. Numberplate is the second plate after racing a couple of races with a WOODEN #plate! Bike inspection stickers are still in the back, all bikes needed to be inspected before the races and was a nightmare! Cutting off handlebars/axles/brakebolts/chainguards etc was necessary to pass the test but we were losing weight that way so every race the bike went lighter. 1980 CPX100 (Paul de Jong's personal Race Set up):
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
