FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

We receive some crazy mails here at FATBMX. When we received info about the Robbo bike, we weren't sure what to think. It's easy to throw these mails in the bin but then you don't know what you're missing out on. Did Rob-O come up with a new FITness bike? That could be a yes, or could be a no.

Something's cooking over at the SE camp. They've teamed up with DC Shoe Co. to celebrate their 30 years of BMX involvement. The second photo shows just a little more than their first one a few months ago. The release date is June 2007, for whatever it is. Keep checking.

Rob Wise has been added to the Mirraco team. This is what team manager Gator had to say about it when he found the words: “I sat here and tried to think of a million different ways I could introduce Rob Wise to the team, so I decided on the first. I was on a road trip with Rob and got to see firsthand how talented this guy is on his bike."

Scotty Cranmer is pretty sick. The Felt rider had to see the doctor twice this week already because he was throwing up 4 times a day. Just kidding of course. Scotty came through with another good video clip that was provided by Felt BMX . It has Cranmer riding some white banks and the tech factor is going through the roof once again. Check it.
