It's amazing how cheap you can fly if you book early and don't care about saving Airmiles. Ryanair, Easyjet, Germanwings, Transavia, they take you places within a couple of hours. Especially with fall/winter comping up it's a good thing to check on these flights which might just leave from you local airport. But then, you have a problem. You want your bike to go with you. And in are the extra costs of bringing sports equipment on board. Unless you can pack smart and fit your bike in a bag that noone behind the counter will question. You're staying within the bag measurements and should
To some Ollie Shields isn't exactly the new kid on the block, but for others he is. Ollie not only gets a full blown interview in the new issue of RIDE BMX magazine over in the UK, he also scored the cover with a well clicked turndown at a spot which shows that riding BMX can be done anywhere. Ramps do not have to be perfect all the time or painted in the colours of the companies that are supporting the indoor place. The cover shot showcases a true UK style if you ask me. Chingford, Mon's ramp, Leigh on Sea, and Southsea come to mind when I see unpainted ramps, and riders killing it.But the list doesn't end there with the October 2014 issue. Here's what's inside next to the Ollie Shields interview:
-Nass contest report
-Mat Hoffman visits the UK
-Boardmasters event report
What you cannot see here is that the new issue of Freedom BMX mag comes with a giant foldout poster of Pete Sawyer boosting a Hill-tuck out in a field with some concrete. It's the extra thing you get with #120. No stickers on the cover this time but your helmet should be full of junk stickers by now so that doesn't matter. 100 pages show that Freedom isn't about to back down. We'll be seeing more of the mag after this September/October book which has the following content:
-UCI Supercross Mellowpark
-Stephan Götz Interview
-Munich Mash BMX Street Rink
-Waldemar Fatkin Interview
-Shadow Conspiracy KIL Shop Battle
-BMX Cologne

It makes me happy whenever a new BMX magazine arrives. The latest BMX Rider magazine included. It's always nice to see your own photo and or article in it and this time I was stoked to see the photo of Michel Dijstelblom on page 18. Michel is a local here in Helmond and isn't necessarily traveling worldwide to BMX events because he simply doesn't have the funds. He does ride a lot though and on this particular day we met up at the new Central Station and then visited this weird statue which ended up getting a full page in the new issue of BMX Rider. But of course there's lot more, and every picture in it tells a thousand words. That's a lot of text right there.Number 13 of BMX RIDER marks the special CONTEST ISSUE:

When I was over at FOX I got to pick out a product. I had my eyes set on the camouflage backpack that I spotted as soon as I got inside the cool building. The backpack has some very cool compartments. It fits the iPad and a laptop and has a smaller section for pens and stuff. I think I'm going to use it for school but I'm afraid someone will steal it. Camouflage is my colour at the moment and the Fox Let's Ride 3 Backpack has a cool pattern. Here is some more information on the FOX backpack.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
