We know you like movies. Here's one that Bert-Jan Blok made of the Roffastreets Bunker jam in Rotterdam, NL.Roffastreets!
Lloyd Ramsay sent over some great pics and a report about Nasty's Stephen Murray jam that took place last weekend but there was more happening on the sidelines. FATBMX's papparazzi man Michael de Wit was present as well and he did get to witness the wet-T-shirt contest in the freezing cold. Here are a few pics of the Vans CEO flipping burgers, Whitesnake working on the fire, Fuzzy on his killer Redline and just people having a good time. Again, it's awesome to see that the BMX family is helping out Stephen Murray and showing their support through and through. 
As we all know Stephen Murray is hurt and health care in America is expensive to say the least. To help him out Cory Nastazio held a jam at his trails in Tehachapi, CA with all proceeds going to Stephen. I was told that the cost of Stephens wheelchair is in the region of $23 000 so every dollar counts. Nastys trails are big. Real big. I saw James Foster take it hard twice but he kept on going and gave the crowd a wind shield wiper. Parslow, White, Lavin, Fuzzy were all there making for a great night of dirt. 
The REMAX Fieldcontrol just ended and it was 3 days of pure riding and fun. On Friday we had a riding sesion till 00.00, and the folowing days it was time for the contest. Both days were very good on riding quality and atmosphere, thanks to the riders that give there maxium and the audience that showed up.
The party at Saturday night was crazy, you should check the photos, but beside that you can see a lot of krazy stuff happened.
With a sold out Joint inside of the Hardrock cafe in Las Vegas, the BMX community got together for another Nora Cup party. 2000 people made it in and there still was a line outside of riders who wanted make it through the door. 2007 was a good one. Many people came over to see who won the Nora Cups this year. Or maybe it was the 1987 - 2007 Skyway Recreation gathering hosted by Mat Hoffman, the Stephen Murray benefit PK Ripper Raffle or Mini Kizz that got them there. Maybe they just came to party.
10 Days ago we were at the finals of the Toyota Challenge Dew Tour in Salt Lake City. We just got our pics back so we started scanning them so you can see them here on FATBMX. Lame excuse. Glad that camera spits out digital images so going to the local photo shop and then scanning picture by picture is a thing of the past. How can we be so late you ask? Good question. Without further delay we bring you the Park photos with some captions that sums up our time at SLC.1080-s, double loops, frontflip tailwhips, 720 tailwhips, no-foot cancan flairs, and double frontflip attempts. Yup the level was high. Here's an official press release as well with some comments from the riders and the results and standings. We still beat the magazines didn't we?

The small and peaceful village Leende got woken up ferociously last weekend. After the German Red Bull Backyard Digger series, the diggers did their work at the first of three stop of the Dutch Backyard Digger events to create the perfect dirtspot. An impression of a laid back Sunday afternoon in Brabant, Holland. Leende? Never ever heard of it! Brabant is quite a far ride from Amsterdam. Well hidden behind an innumerable amount of B roads, roundabouts and ultra slow tractors we found the village of Leende. 
If there was one rider that flowed the vert ramp in SLC it was Jamie Bestwick. He simply ruled that giant vert ramp from left to right. He went all directions, traveled alley-oop style and had so much flow it was unreal. He almost wouldn't need any variations to win the vert class, just watching him ride you know who's the king. Simon Tabron finished as runner up riding with a fractured hand. He was in plaster off the ramp but he took that off when he got closer to 
Planning of the 2008 King of New York at the Mullaly park is already in progress and you can expect some big changes for next year. The 2007 version was a good one and you can watch a killer movie by hitting this link. 
The B.O.K was in one word amazing (this how this article starts every year and it’s true again). With Mischa FSO and Herm on the mic You know there would be a lot of crap talking and joking around. The finals went off with Frank Elshof, Daniel Wedemeijer and Tim Frijters in the top 3. Big 720 transfer tries from Daniel (worst slam), a whip to fuf on a way to ghetto subbox and 720 air tries from Tim, and a backflip transfer from Dranky.The always stylish Amsterdam boys Virgil Perssad and Maityn with the long last name were rocking the park with big inverts, lookbacks and turndowns.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
