FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

Month after month they're bringing these out. It's something that other mags would fear, a deadline every single month. But Pus! has done it, for years. The July issue is out now and it's got a vert picture on the cover of Steve McCann from Oz doing a cancan. But there's more as they've covered a visit of a group of BMX-ers to Bagdad, to do demos for the troops over there. But BMX Plus! isn't limited to BMX freestyle, they've got race coverage too with Sam Willoughby and Mariana Pajon taking the track back. Mirraco's brakeless Gambino gets put through the test as well as Van Homan's signature FIT bike. If you've got twenty minutes to spare you can tune-up your bike for the summer. The July issue of Plus! shows you how. If you don't already have no handers and turndowns down, these tricks are explained this month as well. On top of that there's the Inside Scoop, the BMXperts, the Mailbag, the parting shot, and all the regulars of the monthly mag.

A while ago we did "Girls week" on FATBMX. We only had girl related videos, bike checks, interviews and products on the site for seven days straight. Nikita is a clothing brand we contacted to see if they wanted to get involved as they're dealing with action sports and concentrate on girls clothing. We did not hear back from them until recently. Here are some images of their apparel.

The 99th issue of Freedom BMX Magazin is out now. 99 issues rolled off the presses and a lot has happened in all that time. The mag kept the BMX scene alive when it was just about dead which is hard to believe now when you've got riders in every town and spots to ride on every corner. But Freedom believed in BMX and held through and that's why it has made it to 99 issues. Passion sure goes a long way.

What's in issue 99? From the headlines we cannot find much other than there's a change in perspective. The butterfly with Unit 23 written below indicates that the freedom crew did go to Scotland for the BSD/Nike 6.0 jam a few weeks ago and has a report in this issue to tell you all about the Scots. But we'll have to wait a few more days before the mag drops on the doormat so we can check it out for real. Number 100 is just around the corner. Party time?!?

It's good to see that efforts are made to get the second issue out of 2024 BMX racing magazine. The UK has a strong BMX racing following especially with the 2012 London Olympics coming up which has given the sport a boost all over the place with new tracks, more menbers and new media. Issue #2 is out as of today and those of you who are going to the Peterborough Rounds 1&2 of the British BMX series this coming weekend will be able to buy the May 2011 copy for 4 pounds. Inside it's got the following:

-Rookie spotting
-Heaven 11
-RSD Sports
-BMX directory
-Season preview
-Racing from Caen, Kortrijk, Dagenham, Braintree and Bradford.
