There's a cave in Sweden full of ramps. On 1 April it will host a jam. No, this is not a joke. Area 51 opens its doors for a BMX session, beer and Swedish GoGo girls. What a combination. Vans, wethepeople, Child, Sunshine, Carhartt and Simple are the sponsors of the wild fest. Find more info on www.bunkeberget.com.

We're happy with the answers on the most recent poll on FATBMX.com. It showed that you don't need the shit talking on this site through chat rooms and forums. It also showed that you don't need a myspace.com/fatbmx site. We didn't listen there and saw that the URL was still available. Webmaster Jos got to work and within 30 minutes he hooked it up. Even though myspace isn't our thing, it doesn't hurt to do some FATBMX promotion on a website that has over 60 million members. www.fatbmx.com is and will be the real deal so make sure to bookmark it. | A chat room | |

The Hypnoz park in the South of France is re-opening on 1 April. If you are living close to the amazing park and you're going to skip the mini-FAT-JAM because of it, you have our permission. Everyone else should make it to Aarle-Rixtel, NL for the mini-FAT-JAM on 1 April 2006.
Ricky Adam is one of Dig's main photographer. Next to taking BMX pics, Ricky takes on other projects too. His website is completely redone and you can check it out by clicking the link at the bottom. Here's what Ricky had to say:
We're still freezing our butt off here but in two weeks time we'll be shredding the Sugar Hills trails at the Valkendijk in Aarle-Rixtel, The Netherlands. For the umpteenth time (sorry, lost count) we're opening the BMX outdoor season with a session at the longest going trails in Holland. The weather has always cooperated so why not this time. Don't forget to bring your shorts, barbeque and sunglasses. I hope we're not pushing it too much.
VANS have been a proud sponsor of the FATBMX site from the start. On our recent trip to California we stopped by. Mike de Wit took some time off his busy schedule to show FATBMX around. We peeked in the design department (sorry, no pics), walked the hallways, stopped by the warehouse, had a quick look at Steve Van Doren's office (looks like a Hawaiian BBQ in there), found some empty seats where Jerry Badders and Peter Dericks were supposed to be working, checked the showroom and then went across the street to visit the shoe design department. We saw some really good stuff there but again, no pics allowed.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
