I remember the feeling I got of getting the FAT-'zines back from the printer's. It felt awesome as you know exactly how much time it had cost to put one together. The Figure crew must feel the same way. The latest summer issue has 100 pages and comes in 'zine size but is printed in full colour and glued together. It's very pro for a 'zine. The regular articles come back once again and Sergio Layos gets the interview. The "Illustrer" article goes to Ruben Alcantara and David Quesada and the "Filmer" part goes to "Cool Story Bros'" Sean O'Connell, Josh Bedford and Rich Forne. The "Photographer" section takes up 9 pages and there's another interview in the summer edition. Morgann Lahaie is spending the endless summer in Austin, Texas and Figure caught up with him. If you are shopping for some pegs and don't know what to pick, your "Evoluer" article starts on page 82. If you want to "Participate", turn to page 84 for the Sosh Urban Motion. Had Picard explains what to do. To keep the advertisers happy, there's a product section at the end of the mag.
100 pages total of BMX. And you know what, the magazine is free. Visit a French BMX shop this summer and pick up a copy.

After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
