Your local abandoned warehouse might just turn into my playground. In this video watch myself takeover the chemically polluted abandoned industrial building in Copiague, New York. This site has been abandoned for as long as I could remember. Never did I think I would ride my bike inside of it. The asbestos filled building consists of dusty floors, broken windows, trash, graffiti, and homeless people. It is a place that any regular person would be disgusted by. To me, nothing beats the sketchy feeling/adrenaline rush.

Name: Merle van Benthem
Number in Rio: 75
Country: The Netherlands
Result: Semi final
How big was your struggle even making it to the Olympics?
Merle: To be honest it was a pretty rough road to Rio. Had to deal with a fractured back, a torn ACL and a pretty bad concussion but once I made it, it was all worth it.
What were your personal goals two weeks before the Olympic race?
Merle: My goals were to medal.
How much different did the track look when you saw it for the first time?
Merle: The track looked a lot different during the Olympics than the first time we saw the track at the test event. Not just the green asphalt turns but the track looked way smoother and faster than during the test event.
How big was your team arond you in Rio? (mechanic, coach, nutrition, physio, family/friends, etc...)
Merle: My parents and brother came out to Rio to support. My best friend who is a Dutch track cyclist and other couple Dutch athletes were in the stands to support. And of course the Dutch staff.
So Scotty called me from the hospital and said Big Boy I need you down at the hospital asap! I said Why? Because we are putting my teeth back in. That is enough said right there. NONE OF US ARE DENTIST.
For 2017, 100% extends its eyewear assortment by two additional models: the Speedcoupe and the Type-S. The Speedcoupe: The Sporty One The Speedcoupe are sports glasses for riders who don’t make any compromises. The design perfectly combines style and performance down to the smallest detail: the half-open frame covers the eyes without compromising the view. Thanks to the Megol-coated nose bracket and the rubberized temples the glasses are comfortable to wear without slipping out of place.

Dylan Lewis is a transition and dirt SHRALPER who made an uncanny appearance at this past year's Van Doren Invitation Bowl Comp, blasting higher than nearly everyone else. Dylan goes soooo high but somehow makes it all look effortless.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
