FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

We've had change around over here & now the 3 man Euro team are all UK based riders. Ben Hennon, Ben Wallace & Tony Watkinson are the full team, all will be out there representing Haro, riding contests & partying to the fullest throughout the contest "season" & beyond.

Wallace has been on flow with Haro Europe for a few years & done a hell of a job so it was time he was put on the full team for all his efforts. He'll be at most Euro events with me this year, when he's not there you can find him cruising the streets of his home town in a piece of crap "modified" car listening to Panic at the Disco!

Hennon has been on the Euro Team since pretty much day one & will be riding pretty much a bit of everything this year including a big

Federal's Mark Love is an awesome rider. Edd Allen made a video clip of Edd in what looked like private set-ups at the RIDE ramps as well as other skateparks. While photographers are shooting away, Edd fires out trick after trick and doesn't disappoint one bit. Helmet? Naaahhh, proper UK style.

We're guessing that's Mark in the photo on the right. The shots is from Estonia earlier this year. If someone could confirm it, that would be ace. Cheers.

SCG has picked up another awesome rider. We would like to welcome Brad Simms to the team. Stoked to have you on board.

New site in the works with an online store, and a list of all the shops where shoes are available. Check out the web site at scgshoecompany.com. Lots of good stuff in store for '07.

Some sites think they're too good to post local contest flyers. We don't feel that way. When you're putting time and energy into organizing a comp, you deserve to have your flyer up on the site to promote the event. It will not only inform the riders in your area about it but it will please the people who support the contest as well. We don't always have a FATBMX reporter available to shoot pictures and write some text but I'm sure you know a guy who can do that so we can post the report on FATBMX shortly after the event.

June 23 will be the date for the 2007 version of the original flatland jam in York, Pennsylvania, USA. Come and ride with the pioneers, hot shots and future of flatland! Every flatland rider must visit this place at least once in their life. You have a couple of months to save up some cash.

Ronnie Surridge is a good laugh. He talks bigtime but when you think of it, he IS big time. He flies around the world for contests, people make songs about him, he trains at Woodward camp and he recently was interviewed and filmed in a "Day in the Live of" type of fashion. Ladies, you gotta see this as it shows his bed too. We don't know what kind of magic happens there but by watching the "Your Kinda TV" clip you get a better impression of the one and only Ronnie Surridge.

There are BMX clips made by people who film what they see and edit a piece together to put on Youtube the next day. Then there are BMX clips made by people who put more time into it. Shueti did an amazing job of creating a Flatground video clip that is a must see, also for video editors. It's got some special effects and creative editing that took a little longer than the average 3 hours.
