Crupi Parts, Inc - We are very sad to learn of the passing of a great man; Benny Joseph Sr. Benny was instrumental in making Crupi the company that it is today. When Don Crupi decided to start a BMX racing component company in the early 80's, he went straight to Benny Joseph and his machine shop in Arcadia, CA to have the parts made. Not only was Benny the original shop to make all of the Crupi CNC machined parts in the 80's and 90's but it was Benny's engineering influence that made the parts as good as they were!

Last weekend the Portugese National championships took place. Only five riders signed up for the Elite Men title. No classes were held in Junior Men, Elite Women or Junior Women. They're missing some well needed competition out there. Jesus Martins can sew a national coloured sleeve on his jersey to show off his 2015 title. Look who ended up in place 2-5.

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