FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

As of next week MirraCo will be distributed in the UK by IMG Distro down here on the South Coast UK. The guys down there have built up quite an impressive roster in the last few years with Fly Bikes, Proper, Odyssey, Sunday, Illegal, G-Sport & now MirraCo... More news to follow from this soon I'm sure..?

Both Mark Webb & Harry Main got invites to this years X-Games Superpark which is fucking amazing! It'll be good to have something different in the event other than flat bottoms & elbows! Harry is currently in the USA & Mark is going out to Greenville next week. Whilst there he's going to hang out at Guettler's, hit up the Dew tour & generally blow minds. Good luck UK, both very deserving of the attention finally...

On the subject of Mark Webb, he & Ronnie Remo have started a bonafide bike company. totalBMX comes from the local scene back in the day  & will be explained more in a coming press release but Mark has already been testing frames & hubs plus theres going to be cranks, rims & bars to start with. Remo is driving to this years Worlds with his first load of stock, a fat ass gazeebo & a load of vodka so make sure you go check out what he & mark have to bring to the the table..... unless you are from plectic comms as you may get a schlap?!

Oh, Remo also jumped his VW Golf estate through a barbed wire fence & into a farmers field at 80mph, fully loaded with 3 bikes, bags etc plus Webby & Wallace. Ha!

Apart from the fact that, If you aren't in Koln, Germany for the World's in 3 weeks time you're a loser I don't really have much else to say..... actually, Netherlands party under crack whore bridge will be pretty awesome, so I'm off.

-Over 60 posts this week on FATBMX. Loads of web movies too. Just go through the archives to keep yourself busy if you just came back from a week's holiday.

-Winners of the NIKE 6.0 competition are:
Henrik Anderson, Denmark
Jon Wentley, England
P. Does, Holland
Bruno Hoffmann and Josh Perry were the right answers. They ride for Vans, not Nike. Thanks for participating. New Pump Urban Wear competition coming up soon.

-Bjorn Mager has bought a new video camera. Expect HD quality clips from now on from Bommel. Looking forward to that.

-News from Nuno: I just wanted to give the information that the photobmxmag # 1 is now online, it is a portuguese photo mag on-line, that will be out every 3 months, we have everything written in English for all the world understand it. In this number we have: Melo Brothers Bio, Sintra Nigh Session, Spots Porto and Reguenga and Perico Bike Check. Take a look, following the link.

-Alex Baret is working on the Let It Ride video. that's what you get for beating the competition. He's trying to wrap it up a.s.a.p. but it's hard when you have a regular job too. The four segments will be shown on FATBMX spread out in a few weeks starting with the German video on the 26th of June followed by the UK clip, Europe and France. Next to the FAT Friday and Friday's Pin Up, you'll now also have the Vans Friday on FATBMX.

Thanks for checking in. Go ride.
