FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

The new cover of RIDEBMX reminds me of the Dover spot. It had a similar backdrop and was huge as well. Chris Childs wouldn't have had a problem jumping that giant step up in Newport Beach in the early nineties just as he makes this turndown look like a breeze. Misspellings are painful, especially when they appear on the cover of a magazine. Maxime will blow it off though. Here's what's inside issue 213 which goes on sale today.

Issue number 22 of BMX Rider magazine out of Germany is a photo special. 9 BMX photographers contributed to the new issue with some of their best work. They're even giving away their settings with each shot. If you need some new wallpaper for your room, get this issue. You'll be able to cover an entire wall with good photos. Issue 22 is available now at your favourite book store in Germany or at the local BMX shop.

Boy there's a lot of talking in the Pro town Greenville documentary but that's what a documentary is for. It lets the people involved explain how things started, what happened, and how things are going. This time BMX pros do the talking and for sure it's an interesting piece. Pro Town The Movie shows how things got started and how BMX-ers ruled the bars dowtown. How one shitty park in the city turned into a town with 2 killer private indoor parks, the Jaycee park, trails and many backyard ramps.
