Qualifiers at the Nike 6.0 BCN BMX PRO, and the Barcelona heat is in the red – El Scorchieo they call it over here we’ve heard, and there’s likely to be some serious lobster tans being rocked in the hotel lobby by the end of the event. With a start list of just under 40, a couple of dropouts due to injury in practice was also made up of 3 Spanish riders who got through to represent via the Spanish only Am Jams held earlier in the day It was clear from the off that some had come to cruise while others had turned up to really show and prove. The lines that were in everyone’s head during practice started to be unleashed, Dennis Enarson threw down an outrageous whip transfer from the box to the long metal wall while Alex Coleborn got all involved with an equally mind blowing barrel roll tail whip. However MC Catfish had the largest, or is that loudest, screams for Garrett Reynolds’ nose manual to 180 bars out over the box, truly unreal.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
