FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

We keep receiving new issues of Props, Roadfools, Megatour, Rock 'n Roll extravaganza's and more Props products. They certainly are busy over there but they keep us busy too reviewing DVD after DVD. On the planeride to Singapore I watched issue 64 together with Tobias Wicke. When I was ready to type up a review, the battary died on me. It got shoved to the side again which I apologize for. What can you say about Props that hasn't been said before? Maybe we can give you the content list of issue 64, a trailer of the DVD and also we can say that there are a lot of new talented riders in this issue. Props Visual poductions are always good. You should know that by now.

We are working on something new for the next generation of Premium Frames and I thought I'd share some pics. Check it out. This seat clamp system works internally and allows you to slam your seat and keep the frame looking smooth and seamless. The allen head bolt will have a small rubber cover to keep things looking really clean. It's a way different  internal system than the Superstar.

Picture a national sports hero. One that has won world titles and a couple of Olympic Gold medals for your country doing a different sport.........  To be honest, I was star struck when I saw speed skater Gianni Romme at the Mini-FAT-JAM a few weeks ago. I never knew he had any connection with BMX and for him to find the way to Aarle-Rixtel in his 911 to watch some BMX was awesome. On the same trip he visited Paul's Boutique and informed Paul that he was working on a new paint job on his Haro F-3 that he bought off of a friend.

With design input from past and present Crupi Pro riders, we have just released our newest stem design in over 10 years! Not only have we come up with a new beautiful stem design, but it is lighter in weight and allows you to "flip" it over and drop your bar height by 3/8". By doing this, you can keep your fork steer tube longer and use fewer spacers to achieve the bar height you want.
· 6061 T-6 CNC Machined aluminum
· Polish & black available
· Crupi engraved logos on top and bottom of production stems (not shown)

Over the weekend I heard somebody ask if BMX Plus! magazine was still around. The answer is yes. Here's issue No. 5, Volume 30, May 2007. Yup, the mag has got some history. Anthony Napolitan gets the cover and Heath Pinter turns down the double contents page. Inside Scoop brings the B-days (we've been slacking on those), and all the latest news in BMX land. Stunt Junkie Alistair Whitton grinds upside down. We've got that video up somewhere on the FATBMX site. You're on a tight budget but what do you do? Haro F1 or Magna Torrid. BMX Plus! put both bikes to the test.

The BMX Plus! riders of the year are:
-Dirt jumper of the year: Ryan Guettler
-Freestyler: Ryan Nyquist
-Racer: Bubba Harris
