After 3 months of messing about Vladdie de Koning has managed to finish another New Breed Riders video. The previous movie was about their road trip in Germany but this one is about their own local spot in Middelburg, The Netherlands. With fall coming up (and lots of rain) you might want to check out this indoor spot in the next couple of months. The movie shows riding by the locals and also some graffiti work at the Mekert skatepark. Watch the movie by going HERE
The second stop in the Red Bull Backyard Digger tour will not be Rotterdam, as was originally planned, but Groningen, a city in the north of the Netherlands. The local Rotterdam government does not grant the Red Bull Backyard Digger team the necessary permits to help the local BMXers to build a dirt spot. The Rotterdam government stated that there is much crime on the site where the dirt was to be built. They expect that if the site were turned into a dirt spot, crime would increase.
You've got to respect people who are helping out keeping the scene alive. The Glamorama event is helping out BMX in several ways. A Mirraco bike will be up for Auction to support the Stephen Murray cause, unsung heroes will battle it out in a 6.0 comp and UK factory teams from animal, Alone and Proper will battle it out in the Central Park skatepark. 
Yeah yeah we're late with this one and actually all of the Dew Tour Utah updates but cut us some slack. We've been partying, checking in with friends, visited Matt Beringer's house and had a barbeque there, flew to Las Vegas and this week will be more of the above. Good times for sure and we'll get you what you've been waiting for but it might just take a few extra days. The party life started off in Salt Lake City's Hilton Hotel with the Red Bull party. 
Here is a new bike from Stolen filling a gap we saw for a high quality yet affordable Brakeless*, Free-coaster bike. The Sinner FC - New Stolen designed 100% Chromoly frame w/ smaller tubes, integrated headset, micro dropouts, w/out 990 mounts or cable guides - Mid-type BB w/ tubular Chromoly cranks, Stolen Alloy sprocket & Odyssey Twisted PC pedals
Deadlines are a bitch. We do advertise in several magazines (Zwanzig Zoll, RIDE BMX UK, FreedomBMX, Cream, Rebelyell) and like to come up with a new ad for every issue. You possibly missed some of them so we're showing a little collection of the ads here in web version. We would like to thank the media for the support in promoting FATBMX. The public service announcements we've made involve: 
A Hollywood stunt co-ordinator and the Redline/O'gio/50-50 TM are celebrating their B-day this week. Congrats to:28 September 1964 - Eddie Fiola
29 September 1970 - Tim Fuzzy Hall
When you are on the road you seem to end up at the craziest places. It was the surprise Red Bull party on day one (report soon) and it was a boxing game last night. Boxing? Sander, Bern, Andy, Paul and I were walking back to our overcrowded hotel room when we noticed a church that had a boxing game going on. We tried to take a quick photo but the security wasn't having it. The Press from Holland trick didn't work either and we weren't going to pay the entry fee to watch a full game. 
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
