Bommel's a busy cat. He can't sit still. Always doing something. When not riding, he's filming. When not filming, he's drumming. When not drumming, he's editing. When not editing, he's at the party. He must drink tons of Relentless Energy drinks to keep going. We noticed that Bjorn put together a new bike. He said he was going to do a video bike check but we haven't seen that one yet. He must be too busy doing other things. Check the 9 pics of Bommel's bike today on FATBMX.

100 issues! Amazing. Having a good BMX media in each country is so important. Surviving is hard enough, making it to the 100th issue is a reason to party. Oftentimes the BMX industry isn't big enough to support all the magazines. This leads to tough times at the office and not only there. Freedom's publisher went bankrupt a few issues ago so the 100th issue almost did not make it at all. Factory Media is now behind Germany's Freedom Magazine so thanks to them and a lot of hard work from the staff, you can pick up a copy of the celebration issue. Now what have they gather for this one?
-An articles about 'zines
-The Janek Wentzky interview (coverboy)
-The Nike Pool event in England
-The Vans Austin trip
-Carhartt Game Of Skills
-Rookie Jam

Of course the info on the new issue of RIDE BMX (USA) had to arrive today, on magazine day. Almost makes it look like the BMX media is healthier than ever with so many of them around. That must mean that BMX is doing well and is still growing. Anyway, tons of stuff in the new RIDE with 7 interviews to start off with (Garrett Reynolds, Trey Jones, McIntosh, Josh Grant, Williams, Christian Rigal and Nasty). Also the Osiris trip to Phoenix gets covered and the wtp trip to Mexico City as well. The Pro Q&A is with Biz and Dennis Enarson teaches you how to do no-handers. There's a Brandon Galosi bio, adn the regular articles that bring you the news, the latest products, softgoods and so on.

If you're wondering who made the cover....Sean Burns!

It's magazine day today at FATBMX. Somehow, as usual, they all come out at once. The new RIDE UK dropped in the mail this morning. Andy Zeiss brought a copy of The Albion (issue 2) to Paul's Boutique this afternoon. The new A.R.T. cover got released today, the covershot and video of the 100th issue of Freedom BMX arrived in the mailbox and we also picked up the new cover of 2020 BMX magazine. Everything covered in one day. Brilliant.

What does the 40th issue of 2020 offer?
-The making of the Colony video
-Let's Didgeridoo this!
-Paul Langlands itw
-Dishonour road trip
-Kooks trails RIP
-Deathbowl Hell on Wheels

Urban Kreation is a clothing company from the UK that is strongly coming up in the "Urban Scene". They've picked up MTB riders, scooter dudes, skateboarders and also BMX riders such as Ben Hennon, Isaac Lesser and Kriss Kyle. In the USA they've got Sidewall as a new distributor to make sure the BMX shops can get their hands on the ultra strong jeans, caps and hoodies. We've given some pants to Pim van den Bos for him to test out to see if they're as strong as they say they are. Expect that product review in a few weeks.

Michael Beran is from the Czech Republic. Anyone should have some pride coming from the country they grew up in. When a company asked for his help designing BMX parts, Berry reached a hand. For a couple of years now Michael has been riding for 34R and they've got tons of products out. In fact, most of the products on Beran's bike are made by the 34R company from the Czech Republic. Check the many detail photos for a better view on the bike parts. From Czech with love.

When you take pictures of someone's bike it's often that you only find out later what parts he runs or what prototype products are on his bike which are in the testing phase and should not go online just yet. Not sure if Dakota's bike had any special products when we shot it, but he is running Kenda tires which was a surprise to me. They sure don't hurt his pop. See what else he runs on his Cult bike by checking the photos.
