Lee Reynolds made the cover of issue # 10 of FAT-'zine. He had not seen it until recently when he found it online. That's why we're putting these things on the internet. Those who did not save anything from back in the day still have a way to flip through the pages; digitally.
It's 1989 and we made it to the Mega Free event in Paris. We started working the "press pass scam" to get into places for free and to get backstage. Paul brought a suitcase, long jacket and a baret to impress the security guards and it worked. When he opened up the suitcase backstage his bottle of Coca Cola and bag of chips rolled out, but he was in! That game never stopped.
Back to the issue:
Carl Inkpen reported from a competition in Farnham, UK, Pingel went to Rom skatepark.
We had 6 'zine reviews (Liberty, ACK, Spazum, Shred Zone, Mayhem and R.A.H.F.).
There was no Photoshop back then but there were scissors and glue to make a double air on page 15-16. We traveled to Roncq, France for a contest and had a good time as usual.
Our local rap group was called Divorze, read the interview on page 22-23. Lars From Mars (BMX Masters MC) wrote another story for FAT and we interviewed Eric Fischer.
"Give & Take" is a BMX mixtape featuring 33 of the riders from 9 countries in 5 different continents that were a part of 'Share a Bike - Share a Smile' during 2021. 20 of them received parts, 13 of them donated parts, and of course many more riders were involved during 2021 donating and receiving as a way to share the joy we all feel riding 20 inches bikes.

Brett Silva and his crew busted their asses to prepare “The Biggest Coolest Ditch in Texas - Mega Ditch" for the inaugural Darty in the Ditch Jam. Texas represented and biking gangsterism ensued!

Subrosa pro rider Joris Coulomb is so stoked on the release of his new Om V2 frame that he immediately went out and made this badass video to promote it! Joris takes his technical and precise riding to all new heights in this one. That ender is one for the books!
Billy Perry is back with more stylish riding on the all new Volume X Follow The Leader frame. Billy kept it steezy from riding in Las Vegas to Mexico City. All while riding his Volume X FTL signature frame.
