BMX Magazines are hard to find these days. Besides the rare special issues once a year, there's not much to flip through. PULL Magazine seems to appear on a regular basis still and you can enjoy the hard work that goes into each issue from you computer screen also, free of charge. The latest issue has an interview with Ava Corley, the 2021 National Number one Amateur girl who wants to stick to BMX to be the next fast female rider coming out of the USA. The magazine has 108 pages and on page 24 you can find the race report of the Cajun Nationals held in Louisiana.
Kevin Peraza's signature model Mongoose gets reviewed and on page 56 the Warwicke Scholarships get explained further. See where the $50K went. Page 62: Dixieland Nationals, georgia. Page 72; Fraser Valley Nationals, Canada.
Page 80 shows Laura Smulders (NED) in the lead at the Legacy Nationals in Tulsa, Oklahoma and also the Florida SCR Battles receive some coverage in the June issue of PULL magazine.
Besides the articles there is tons of info on standings, schedules, points etc. based on the American BMX Racing season.
On any given day, you can find 9-year-old, Alex Lantigua, ripping his local skatepark, charging full speed on his Performer 16. Not far behind, his little sister, Lilah, is cruising on her Performer 14.
Let's start this review by a quote from Vic Murphy who was a regular contributor to the FAT-'zines back in the day. "I ride to get better. Not to get money. Not to impress anyone. Not to improve the environment. But just to see how good I can get riding from one place to another. Some people don't understand me. Well, I don't understand them. Ride to death." Vic Murphy. D.B.I. Issue 20 of FAT-'zine came out in the fall of 1990 right after we had finished another FAT-JAM (report in #21). We traveled around in the summer and visited the World Championships in Trier, a few VANS shows in Germany, went to the ECC in Slagharen, and we had a few lakejump sessions when it got really hot.
Interviewed people this time were Jason Jessee, Joop "Sloop" Smulders, Raymond Tabak, Frank Schnuetgen, and Dan Hubbard. We also had reports from the UK King Of Vert, a street jam in Aalborg, Denmark, the 2-Hip comps in the USA, and a full report from the contest in Cologne, Germany.
It's the first issue on the new typewriter so you can actually read the 'zine.
Enjoy.
