During the indoor BMX race in Caen also a pro flatland contest took place. Some Brits went over there and two of them ended up on the podium. First place went to Madd Gear's Keelan Phillips (UK), second was for Joris Bretagnolles (France) and third was for S&M's James White (UK). 
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
