Let me first start off by saying that this video is one of those videos that you actually go out, buy, and put on your shelf. There are those videos, and everyone knows which one’s, where you wait until some kid puts it on Youtube and then you watch each section all divided up or that you borrow it from one of your friends to watch. This is not one of those videos. I was impressed by a lot of the riding and am definitely going to add this one to my collection and I think that you should too. The day basically started off with Jim C. hustling around all over the city picking up the guys from the airport and showing them around.
The new issue of DIG is FAT. 148 pages full of BMX. The magazine content has changed over the years and is leaning more towards exclusive trips and exclusive interviews that they will have to protect from the internet dawgs for a couple of weeks until it comes out in print. This issue has a big interview with Max Gaertig from Germany and also Rob Dolecki traveled to Costa Rica with a good crew to come up with an exclusive story. Not too many internet rats with camera's there to spoil the content. Bio's will always work. FooMan gets one and so does Daniel Martinez. Bob Scerbo gets the Backchat, they interview Jim on his RIDE BMX store, and E-man gets a full interview. The UK North West article has interviews with several riders from that area and the Friends First? article checks in with Chester Blacksmith, Jared Washington, Mike Brennan, Chris Gollup and Max Anderson Young.
This Peugeot CPX300 was our dream in 1979, we couldn't afford the 300 so we started on a CPX100. Tiny van Brug worked at the local bikeshop and got a CPX300 frame and this is actually his frame, later owned by Frans Swinkels. CPX300 Frames were made of Butted Chrome Molybdenum as the catalog says and were very light right out of the box.
After watching numerous web videos every day I slipped in Issue 72 of Props in the DVD player and watched it on the "big screen." Man, how good was that. Good sounds, good quality and for once a better picture than the embedded block on the computer screen. I was stoked on the Tom Dugan Bio. The dude has style and attitude and no care in the world. Perfect combination. He definitely deserved a Bio in Props and is an indication that there are awesome riders doing their thing all over the place.
This is my RACE CPX100 version of end 1980/ beginning 1981 with some lightweight stuff it made the heavy CPX100 a lot lighter, 11,83kg is not bad for a hi-tention steel bike. Numberplate is the second plate after racing a couple of races with a WOODEN #plate! Bike inspection stickers are still in the back, all bikes needed to be inspected before the races and was a nightmare! Cutting off handlebars/axles/brakebolts/chainguards etc was necessary to pass the test but we were losing weight that way so every race the bike went lighter.
Print costs are high these days and what better way to reach the widest audience of all than through the internet. Jarrod Allen and Joey Cobbs have done just that with their new digital magazine called Bay St. The main feature in the maiden issue is about a rider called Doug Blankenship who was literally saved by BMX after being homeless. Along with not being scared to try anything on his bike Doug also has some tales. Jarrod comes from a video background while Joey is a photographer and both had this to say about their new project:
Lazer launched this week-end a new series of goggles which are realized in cooperation with manufacturer Ariete from Italy, where the goggles are made. Lazer’s new series includes two models, the Track and the Factory, with the latter being the top product.
Sometimes you see things in BMX and feel ambarrassed that it is possible to have something like that connected to our lifestyle, or sport or however you want to call what we're doing. Other times you're damn stoked on something and feel proud you're part of it. Although I've got nothing to do with Rebelyell other than delivering a messy FATBMX ad for every issue, I feel proud that BMX can deliver such a magazine. Rebelyell is class. Rebelyell is stylish. The layout is awesome and so are the photos. The style stokes me. So different, but so good. The current issue has the theme "Hands On" and I'm also down with that. Instead of complaining on the web, make stuff happen. Build some jumps, screw some wood together, simply
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
