FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

Rick Thorne has given up BMX. Sick of all the comments he received he made a switch to playing golf.

It might not be fully "Hollywood" or "Rockstar" but at least Thorne can chill out a bit. His black clothes are out the window but he couldn't quite give up the black hat yet.
Titleist is already in the bag as a paying product sponsor. Golf Punk tattoo in the works?

The weather has been terrible lately but the Sugar Hills trails are looking sharp. There's no puddle to be seen and all jumps are shaped. Those who expect to see mud will be disappointed, the trails proved once again that they can take a rain shower or two. Thanks to all the locals for digging. See you at the [url=//fatbmx.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=1339]mini-FAT-JAM[/url] during the afternoon or at the OJA party at night for cheap beer and live music.

Just added: It's Saturday and it's SUNNY out! Bring the BBQ.

FLATLAND is the most artistic form of BMX riding, blending unique styles and cultural backgrounds. Riders exhibit intense focus and discipline as they execute a seamless array of tricks on their bike. Flatland also has an international flavor, capturing the creative influence from people around the world. We capture this creativity and variety of riding styles through our Annual Flatland Voodoo Jam event in New Orleans, Louisiana. This year will be the 2nd annual event and promises to be larger and more recognized than last year's event. 

The 'hell is for zombies' jam is taking place this weekend and the weather is looking good so here's some info about they day for those that want to know: Starts at 12pm at Victoria skate park in Auckland city center, New Zealand. There will be a free BBQ (bring your own beer). It's a jam only, not a comp! although there will be prizes for the bunny hop, long jump, and ledge comp, as well as plenty of other prizes for best trick or rider of the day, that sort of shit.

We've conducted surveys with our customers to see if they if they would be interested in a 26" cruiser, and we had such great response we decided to make it happen. There was quite a bit of excitement about the fact that it's an affordable bicycle that is still a BMX bike for older or lazy guys who still want to jump off curbs on the way to the liquor store.

Street luge and canoe sky diving didn't really fit the X-Games program but with additions like Super-motard (superretard) and now Rally racing, the extreme sports festival is turning into a motorsports event. Or maybe you can call it the Travis Pastrana Nitro circus show as he can participate in Freestyle Motocross, Supermoto and Rally racing at the 2006 edition in Los Angeles. Anyway, here's the press release on the addition of the latest sport to the games.

On Saturday 18th March in Moscow, Russia at Europe’s coolest Skatepark “Adrenalin” a festival for alternative sport, music and street culture ‘EXTREME NATION’ was organized, resulting in the first Russian national premier for outstanding contributions to Extreme sport and business and the highest award in Extreme sport and business – Extreme Awards 2005.

Here are some of the results (there were 23 categories in all).
