FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

When we faced some technical difficulties on Monday, I immediately sent an e-mail, an Instant Message and an SMS phone message to our kick ass webmaster Jos Wissink/Four05 . Usually it doesn't take long for Jos to reply and get things back to normal but this time it took a bit longer, and for good reason. Jos was in the hospital with his wife Wendy who was about to deliver a new baby. Lori Wissink was born on Monday 04 June at 14:10pm. She weighed 3400 grams at birth and was 50cm tall. All is going well. Congrats to the Wissink family.

Making it to the X-Games isn't easy. In fact, you have to be selected to be able to ride. With so much talent around this decision isn't the easiest one to make. 5 riders in each discipline (Vert and Park) have been announced. Both Chad Kagy and Scotty Cranmer were automatically invited because of their wins in 2006. The remaining riders will be chosen after a few of the bigger contests have taken place.

Mat Hoffman will compete again at the Suzuki BMXMasters Don’t call it a comeback. After a successful contest comeback at the Suzuki BMXMasters last year Mat Hoffman aka "The Condor“ will be back for more in 2007. Mat about the BMXMasters: "I’ll be there once again to celebrate this amazing event and the community that surrounds it“.

Top-class riders in Cologne. Already two months before the BMXMasters will start we have many confirmations of a-class riders. Besides Mat Hoffman there will be Justin Miller, last years winner in the discipline flatland and Chris Doyle, winner in the discipline dirt at the BMXMasters 2006. Furthermore we will have Simon Tabron, Dave Osato, who brings down the house at last years miniramp final.

Ten Pack Distribution is proud to welcome Chris Silva of the Toronto ICC crew to the Ten Pack team. Chris will represent Animal, MacNeil and he’ll be wearing Little Devil Clothing. We’re really stoked to have Chris riding for us. He’s one of, if not the best street rider in Canada, as well as an incredible park rider and a really cool guy.

A few of the United crew are currently on the road, on a 10 day jaunt from Louisville to Little Rock. They are being guided by Leland in the veggie Shitluck wagon, so we imagine the trip will have its fair share of action. The United site has daily updates featuring video clips, and random pictures. Days 1,2 and 3 are up there now (plus a photo of Mark Vos' new ride).
