FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

Last year we were shown two new pototype products by Tioga at the Eurobike show. The OS tire, which is still being tested and in development and the slim pedal. This year the flattest pedal with the bearing on the outside was on display already in several colours. If you like flat pedals, the Tioga ones are something to look into. You won't find any slimmer pedals around. Tioga also had their ever popular tires on display and a full range of D-Spyder seats.

Next week the Interbike show will take place in Las Vegas. A new venue (Mandalay Bay) and lots of new bikes for 2014 will be on display. But most of these bikes made it over to Friedrichshafen already and we're going to show them on FATBMX in the next days starting off with HARO Bikes' race program. The top of the line Blackout complete bike drew some attention but it was the carbon Haro Clutch frame and fork set that stole the show. So light that the stem was the heaviest part of the F&F set up. The Annex is the entry level race bike line followed by the Race LT line all of which look great. Come inside to check it.

Bernd Fröhner from Nuernberg sent us some photos of a new skate plaza that will be opened at the end of this month (September 30th). It's always a long process to get a place like this done for the home town but the people in Fuerth, Germany pulled it off and a big congratulations goes to them.

The Festival International des Sports Extrêmes comes to Nantes for the first time, just in time for the start of the school year.

Sneaker fans will love this one. Vans Syndicate got in touch with Ice "motherfucking" T for a collaboration project. The result is a shoe that comes in a bodybag style box, a Syndicate keychain in the form of a gun, OG pocket T-shirts and original gansta style hats. It's got that Rhyme Syndicate flavor which is a perfect match for the fans. Shoes come in Sk8-Hi and Chukka Deacon. A must have.

It was good to see FATBMX supporter FOX present at this year's Eurobike show in Friedrichshafen. They took Oakley's spot pretty much and were outside, right next to the track. A good spot when the weather is nice, a bad spot when it rains. But FOX came well prepared with a great booth which had a solid roof on top. Just in case. The new BMX/MTB gear looks great and covers you head to toe from Helmet to Goggle to Jersey, Gloves and Race pants. It even lets you wear your favourite protection gear underneath.
