FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

Name: Rob Harrison
Age: 35
Hometown: I'm between home towns right now.
Hook-ups/Sponsors: I'm pretty sure if I asked then wethepeople would still have my back. Carhartt-Europe still sort me out and Proper also offered to help. Eastpak and Vans were often supportive to the WTP office in general, worth a mention I reckon. Now I am just doing more of my own thing I'm not really in touch with that side of things. There are far more deserving people out there, I'm just happy to have met some decent folks.

The favorite list:

-Spot to ride: Where no one else wants to
-BMX video: Easy, Grounded (2007), before and after that parts were good, a few videos were good... but none broke as much ground as this one. Or Dorkin 4 if we go back a 'bit' further and ignore the tech.

The StoppelCross season is upon us. It's time to get some rides in before we all line up behind that starting gate in Handel on 1 November. Today's session was at the track in Boxmeer where Cock and Balls invited friends for a mellow MX session. You could be the monkey in a sidehack, try out the freestyle ramps, or simply do laps around the sandy track of MC Boxmeer. Not every BMX rider that was expected showed up but Bart Mol did and Ivo van der Putten as well. Jeffrey Herlings was there but did not ride (mandatory break).
