Sometimes you need to dress up. Whatever the case, it's time for something better than your daily T-shirt. Some buttons will do the job. Over at FOX they've got 8 new ones in their online store. Short sleeve, long sleeve, polo, printed logo, woven shirts, it's your pick. Which one will the girl like? What shirt will impress the most? It's a matter of feeling comfortable, and since it's a FOX shirt, that part is taken care of.

HEAL (Helping Extreme Athletes Live) have just put out a new shirt titled the “Maiden”.

It’s your choice and either way you are helping the athletes of action sports!

If you want to know where the action is, we've got you covered. The FATBMX event calendar is a unique place if you want to know where the events are taking place and when they are being held. It also shows who to get in touch with, shows you directions and a time schedule. Keeping up to date with a calendar is time consuming, but important enough for us to show fellow BMX riders where to go to in the weekend. Before you go anywhere, make sure to contact the organiser of the event. They'd like to hear from you. The thing we're asking here is for all event organisers, from major event to local jam, from shop opening to video premiere to international race, to

Alli Sports, a division of the NBC Sports Group, today announced a four-year renewal of their partnership with Mountain Dew, along with the 2012 schedule for the new Dew Tour. Alli Sports, together with Mountain Dew, who has been the tour title partner since its inception, is reshaping the Dew Tour to showcase action sports in three large-scale, premium and ‘grand-slam’ style events. Leveraging the resources of the NBC Sports Group, which acquired 100% of Alli Sports last year, the new Beach, City, Mountain tour model will better serve the needs of the athletes and action sports community.

The three premium events will boast expanded television programming and digital strategy across NBC, NBC Sports Network, nbcsports.com and allisports.com, as well as hyper-local promotional and programming opportunities through the NBC Sports Group’s owned stations and regional sports networks. At the event level, each stop will include expanded and new sports and disciplines, and an enhanced

Bikes, Beers, Bands, BSD and Bitches! Hell yeah! It's time for the annual Mini-FATJAM. This year we'll start off at the Sugar Hills trails with a mellow dirt session followed by a greasy snackbar stop and a night at OJA with 4 bands. Also, we're having the Dutch BSD Any Wich Way premiere at OJA so plenty of action all day long.

The lines have been shaped at the Sugar Hills so we can officially kick off the outdoor season with a session in Aarle-Rixtel. Nothing more, nothing less. Riding with friends, learning new tricks on the killer, or trying to make it through the lines riding switch. Got what it takes? you show us!

Follow everything on www.twitter.com/fatjam if you can't make it in person. Pay a visit to Paul's Boutique while you're in town. Drink a free Monster Energy drink when the truck shows up. Find a photo of yourself on FATBMX.com afterwards. You might even go home with a Vans goodie. Enough reasons to make the trip to Ale Blie. Dirt!!!

To celebrate the Red Bull Empire Of Dirt returning for 2012, we have teamed up with Kye Forte and Red Bull to produce an extremely limited edition of United x Red Bull KL40 complete bikes. and for the first time ever you can get your hands on a bike with officially endorsed Red Bull Empire Of Dirt graphics. We used the brand new 2013 KL40 model and then tied in Red Bull Empire Of Dirt branding, by using grey sidewall United tyres, colour matched grips, anodized red rims and seat clamp which all finish this bike off with a look way beyond it’s price tag.
