The Pride crew are super happy to launch their new Pride Racing Website. The new website is looking super clean with cool pictures and lots of personal content to explain a little bit more who they are and what they do at Pride Racing. Now consumers can see all the products but also find the nearest dealer with the dealer locator. Besides this new website Pride launches the first Team Camp Video [Part 1]. Pride's product and marketing manager Dorian Riou explains: "Last February we invited our Factory Team at Pride Racing Headquarters for our annual team camp. We took this opportunity to make a cool video split up in two part, 1st Part Warehouse session and 2nd Part Riding Session which will be online on 19th April. This video shows a little bit more our personality
and our team spirit, not serious all the time, BMX is Fun right?"

We're kicking off our 4th year of the Ride to End Obesity After School Program in San Diego with the goal of educating young people on the importance of eating well, staying active, being a hero against bullying and an introduction to BMX Racing. We have been fortunate to reach more than 2000 kids locally with this positive message and we look forward to continued expansion. It is the responsibility of all of us involved in the sport to give back at the grass roots level and to get more kids on BMX bikes.
This past weekend we raced in Rock Hill, South Carolina where the world championships will be held in late July. Instead of doing a typical vlog, following racing and some of the riders, I figured I might switch it up and ask them some random questions!
Riders included:
Nic Long
Tory Nyhaug
Sean Gaian
Jared Garcia
Justin Mcklintock

It was time to dust off the BMX bike for a session at the Sugar Hills because the Mini FATJAM was on the program. For a bunch of people it is that way. And that's fine. It shows that the Mini FATJAM is a reason to go ride again, together with those who think the same way. The jumps had been prepared for the same reason, because the Mini FATJAM was coming up. The jam gets people together and back on the bike and also this year we had support from Vans, Paul's Boutique, Haro Bikes so we could give out goodies to those who took the effort to come over to Aarle-Rixtel and put a few laps in. Also, for the first time in FATJAM history, we had Beckers as a sponsor of the event. They make the best Frikandellen (way better than Mora) and everyone present could get himself a

After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
