FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

Super sized SE head badges are now available. Do you want that perfect, custom, last bit of a cool touch in your work room, office, bedroom, or living room? Well, if you are a true SE fanatic, then you MUST have one of these extra large (2ft x 2ft), aluminum pressed, 3-D, SE metal tacker signs. They are made out of aluminum and are an exact replica of the “SE Bikes” head badges that come on the ’06 line of SE bikes. And check out all those normal sized “SE Racing” head badges below the gigantic one! Yup, that’s right. Those are authentic “SE Racing” head badges that are now available to all of the SE collectors out there. 

We don't have the intention to put every video trailer online here at FATBMX but when Josh Suhre made us aware of the project he's working on in Ohio, we checked if we could run it on the site. The video is scheduled to be out this summer so that gives the Ohio crew some more time to do some outdoor riding. The footage they've collected so far is amazing.

James and his crew have decided to put up another BMX Jam in Kassel, Germany. Not only the obligatorial bling-bling will be there, some new ramps will be shining in the bright light of satisfaction as well. These new ramps are some legacy of former Kassel's Skatehall named "Mr. Wilson".  James explains: "Alright now these bitches belong to us and we decided to use that quarter with wallride-possibility and that nicely shaped curved bank for a pleasureful event for the mob. So take your butts and booties and get to Kassel for the Early Satisfaction BMX Jam 2006."
