FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

this year. Definitely a record for the Brit and something to be very proud of. Ryan Nyquist is leading in Dirt over Brandon Dosch and Dennis Enarson. Park is still open but Garrett Reynolds has the best papers in his hand. He's leading over Dave Mirra and Daniel Dhers. Did Dave Mirra really bet Daniel Dhers to take his brakes off for the Orlando stop? $ 5000,= dollars for the Venezuelan if he takes them off, $ 5000,= for Mirra if he has them on. This might sound like a lot for most, but if you are in the hunt for a title, contest prize money and bonus money, the brake could actually help make more than $ 5G for Dhers. They're playing games and that's fun. Talking about fun, Dave Mirra is putting on a contest at his own warehouse in December. Invite only and first place gets a Subary WRX car. 15 guys will be invited and we can't wait to see that list. First qualifying events from Orlando just in:
