The Albion magazine is always a good read. Getting your hands on it is the hard part, but they've got that covered by posting up the old issues online. They're up to issue number six right now but let's face it, it's much better to have a copy in your hands, than trying to read it on the computer. I'm not a fan of that and hardly ever do it that way. Even the tablet doesn't cut it for me. You only get the feeling of a magazine by holding it in your hands and flipping through the pages. The Albion number eleven is out now and yet again it's free. You can pick one up at the better BMX shops if you're lucky enough there's one near you that has them.

I like it, but just don't judge the book by its cover as there's BMX inside, and no demolition derby car racing.

1991 was the year I had to join the army. Everyone had to back in the day and it was my turn. Had my personal UZI 'n shit and made it to the Corporal rank in just one year, whatever that's worth.
The best part of the 12 months in the army was that I managed to pass for my truck drivers licence. I rented a room so I did not have to live on the military base and could ride a bit after "work" and still manage to do the FAT-'zines.
The pace had slown down to only a couple of issues per year but they were stacked with stuff.
Just like issue #22:
-Did a commercial in Gran Canaria for ProSpecs shoes in 1991
-Reported from the Trier contest
-Rode the Vogelsang dirt spot in Cologne
-Went to Abbeville in France for a contest
-Was there a contest in the Jugendpark every 4 months or something?
-Mini-FAT-JAM Aarle-Rixtel
-Christmas Jam report from Denmark
-Muenster Monster Mastership
-Skate comp in Erp
-ECC report
