We've entered the last week of the year. A few more days and 2009 is here. The year has flown by like crazy and lots of good stuff happened. The 20th edition of the FAT-JAM for instance was a good time. The Nora Cup awards party was as good as it gets and we're already looking forward to the next Simpel Session in a few weeks. It just goes from event to event and there are plenty of them

lined up in 2009 too. Just keep an eye on that FATBMX event schedule and send in your dates too so we can add them. Here's the BMX news of this week:

-The sponsor changes/additions haven't stopped. Here's a list of team changes that we picked up for you this week.

-Ben Hennon moved up to Vans Europe team
-Kevin Kalkoff moved up to Vans Europe team
-Michael Steingraeber moved down from the Vans Europe team
-Karl Poynter on Orchid (flow)
-Scotty Cranmer on FELT for a few more years
-Brian Kachinski on Action Village
-Adam Baker off S&M

-Jesse Whaley on Verde
-Kevin Kiraly on Verde
-Tony Malouf on BSD

-We've been posting a lot of videos lately on FATBMX and we received this one of Balazs Ivanfi. The name might not ring a bell but you should check out how smooth that flair over the spine is that he's doing. Yes, a flair over the spine to fakie. Haven't seen it yet?

-Thanks to those contributors who sent in a bunch of Pin-Up shots. We're set for the next few weeks. Thanks a lot and you'll see them show up on Fridays.

-There's this big give-away going on at DansComp . You can win a week at Woodward for instance, or Alistair Whitton's bike! All you have to do is buy some Stay Strong apparel and you know that supports a good cause itself. Order an extra T next time.

-Talking about T-shirts, SNAFU has got a few new designs available. Webshop will be up in the next couple of weeks. The BikeThreads online clothing store is online already where you can buy Redline clothing and stuff.

-Thanks to everyone for sending in a Happy Holidays card. We posted a few of them online:
Selection ONE
Selection TWO
Happy Holidays to you too.

-Did you try out that Vans History quiz? It gets tough when they start getting into the surfing part...

-Lately I've noticed that people just take photos from the FATBMX site to use for their own site. Not cool and not allowed. Plain stealing if you ask me. Are you a thief? Just stop it, okay? or I'll send KOP (if he's still alive).

Bring on 2009, we're ready for it.
