What a way to spend a Saturday. After a morning coffee at mom’s Paul’s pick-up reached the 100.000km mark on our way to Hammer & Nails Fest in Cologne-Kalk, Germany. For safety reasons we’d hit the BK before entering the premises where the WTP Best trick was already in full swing. Will Jackson, some 20 years later, pulled a trick that had people going but there was more being done, and basically nonstop. With the clock counting down from a 20-minute session, it turned out to be a 25-minute gig as that “one more time” and “we just put another 2 minutes on the clock” were a welcome fit for the event. The spirit was BMX and everyone felt it. And enjoyed it.

The world‘s greatest Freestyle BMX Event – the SNIPES BMX COLOGNE – will be held again on July 22 and 23, 2017, in the Jugendpark. „CELEBRATING BMX“ is the motto and on these two days, the spotlight will be on the fun of the spectacular stunts and tricks as well as the fascinating lightness of the sport. On the third weekend in July 2017, the organizers return to the two-day event format and for the 33rd year continue to follow their belief in bringing the sport and the festival back to their roots.
As in past years, the focus will be on the four disciplines Street, Spine Ramp, Flatland and Kickturn Ramp Old School Style, all of which will be taken on by riders in the classes Amateur, Pro and Old Schoolers.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
