The BMX finals saw an incredibly strong foreign contention making the trip over to NASS with a full on battle for the top 3 podium places between the Australians. Ozzie Logan Martin knocked the other two guys down to 2nd and 3rd. He smashed a huge 1080 for his first trick over the box, barspin 720 and the only rider doing down whip flair. Bag full of tricks! Brandon Loupos, pulled the only cash roll of the contest and it was huge! Big invert 360, big 720, regular flair whip, nosedive 360, powering round on full throttle.
Memorable bangers were Todd Meyn taking 3rd place with 1080s, just slid out on a whip front flip, flip double whip.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
