Alrighty folks - only 4 more days to go and we have good and we have bad news. BMX Top Star Harry Main still hasn´t fully recovered from his injuries, so he has to pass on the Berlin event. BUT: Total high-flyer Brett Banasiewicz aka "Maddog" is coming instead and will test the new course to the bone. Maddog is the youngest DEW Tour Winner of all time and a front row guest at the X-Games as well. Despite his young age he showed Pros like
Daniel Dhers and
Mark Webb at this years BMX Masters, that he´s way past half-baked and certainly a serious competitor for the finals in Berlin.
Jeremiah Smith, our replacement for
Ryan Nyquist is now injured himself. He bruised his finger real bad and is still not in competition shape. He gets replaced by 27 year old
Morgan Wade, a X-Games Top 10 Rider. The American is a real badass when it comes to bikes. N
o matter how high, no matter how far - he´ll push it to the limit and is certainly a read plus for the entire event.
Dennis Enarson is grounded in Australia to due strict sponsorship commitments, that´ll take longer than expected. He´ll be replaced by
Dean Cueson, one of the most promising European talents this year. He convinced with his diversity when it comes to tricks and height. When you see him, you can´t help but wonder, if there´s a younger version of
Ryan Nyquist riding.

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