It's up to you to contact the event organizers for info on their event so see if the light is green for the happening to go forward. If you have 2020 event dates, if you've got something going, send us the info or better, add the event yourself.

We're here to spread the love but you figure out yourself where you need to go. Contact the event organizers before you head over. Times/dates might have changed and we take no responsibility for that. Get together and enjoy BMX, the best thing in the world. 2020 Flyers inside as well as the 2020 event dates.

READY TO HIT THE BOOST BUTTON? When you're going mac ten at a take off you want to know you're in safe hands, the boost is coming and you want to go all out! Jump on board a Knightsbirdge and sail your way through the session without any second guess.
The ultimate boost weapon went back to the workshop and partook in some surgery! Now coming with more rounded top tube sizes from the 21.1, 21.4 and 21.6! This blasting beast is well equipped! With welded lugs, lowered chain stays for extra brake clearance and a newly embossed head tube badge. The graphics took on a simplified approach and we think this really sets the Knightsbridge v2 off!
Available in Blue Groove, Flat Brown and Gloss Black.

Looks like we've all survived another year of BMX together and as usual, we're looking forward to bigger and better things to come. From everyone at FATBMX we wish you all the best in 2020. We're looking forward to big things to happen in 2020. Paul's Boutique BMX Hardware store will celebrate its 25 years in existence on April first and BMX Freestyle Park will crown their first Olympic Champions. On top of that it looks like The Netherlands has some solid medal contenders for Tokyo 2020 in the racing category. Make sure to follow us in 2020 if you don't already do so.

Exciting news from the Simple Session team – we have just released our brand new 20th Anniversary event website along with the epic course design and the incredible line-up of athletes including past and present world champions and Simple Session gold medalists.
Behold – the Simple Session 20th anniversary course design! The man behind the park design is the one and only Nate Wessel, who for the 14th time in a row has blessed us with a course that will cater for everybody – the fast and loose, the tech and precise, the skaters and the bikers.
Some events become traditions. The organizers are stuck doing the work year after year. It's nothing bad, just a lot of work. Behind the scenes it's always hectic, there are always problems to be solved. While the party people have made plans for a trip, the organizers are keeping their fingers crossed that things won't go out of hand and everyone will have a good time. The 2019 Freedom BMX Awards took place in Aurich at the Adventsjam last week. Timm Wiegmann's 20th jam edition played host to the annual award show and it turned out that these riders went home with an award.
Lifetime achievement award: Daniel Fuhrmann (Kunstform)

Your iPhone, Android or Windows based smartphone or tablet’s home screen isn’t just for apps. Whatever platform you’re using, you can pin FATBMX to your home screen so you can quickly access the latest worldwide BMX news 24/7. Here's how.
Add FATBMX to the Home Screen on your iPhone, iPad & iPod Touch
Launch the Safari browser on Apple’s iOS and navigate to the home page of FATBMX.com. Tap the Share button on the browser’s toolbar — that’s the rectangle with an arrow pointing upward. It’s on the bar at the top of the screen on an iPad, and on the bar at the bottom of the screen on an iPhone or iPod Touch.
Tap the Add to Home Screen icon in the Share menu.The FATBMX shortcut will be added with a nice icon and can be dragged around and placed anywhere, including in app folders — just like a normal app icon. When you tap the icon, it will load the website in a normal tab inside the Safari browser app.
Other browsers, like Chrome for iOS, don’t offer this feature. Due the limitations in Apple’s iOS, only Apple’s own Safari browser is allowed to do this.
Add FATBMX to the Home Screen on your Android Phone or Tablet
Launch Chrome for Android and and navigate to the home page of FATBMX.com. Tap the menu button and tap Add to homescreen.
You’ll be able to enter a name for the shortcut and then Chrome will add it to your home screen. Chrome for Android loads the website as a “web app” when you tap the icon, so it will get its own entry in the app switcher and won’t have any browser interface getting in the way.
Other popular Android browsers also offer this feature.
For example, Firefox for Android can do this if you tap the menu button, tap the Page option, and tap Add to Home Screen.
For other browsers, please check the documentation of your browser app.

Windows 10, 8, and RT devices also offer a way to pin websites to your Start screen. This is obviously most useful on phones and tablets, not on desktop PCs where you don’t want to see the Start screen. On the Windows desktop, you can pin website shortcuts to your taskbar for easier access.
