FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

encourage kids to do sports by bringing the modular pumptrack to the people.

It's a great way to introduce BMX, skateboarding, mountainbiking and inline skating to the youth. The combination with the competition for pros makes the Pump Battle Series a unique event for the weekends.

The support of pro riders gives this project an extra dimension. They give the children advice and learn them tips and tricks. It will encourage kids to get off the couch and turn off the TV or computer. The first edition during the Zero Gravity Expo was a big success, Wichman and Van Gendt are keen on bringing the Pump Battle Series abroad.
