Each of these shops are not only going to open their doors for you to come hang and watch a video but they are supporting the local scene and giving you a chance to be one of the first to check the new Shadow video.

Also as a bonus your local shop will be one of the only shops in the world to have the Shadow video untill the week of the 12th. So if you want to be the first to get your grubby little hands on the first ever Shadow video, make it out and support your local shop.

Senad Grosic has been hired by the Austrian army for special attack tactics. He takes his HARO bike and starts distracting the enemy by doing all kind of stunts. In the meantime the Austrian Army can surround the bad boys and capture them. Then Senad has to do some backwheel hops on their bodies while they're laying on the ground if they don't answer the questions correctly. If that doesn't work, a tailspin to their face will take them out.

BMX is an acronym for Bicycle Motocross. This film documents the evolution of a sport created by kids who [in the 1970’s] began modifying their Schwinn Sting- Ray bicycles to look like motorcycles. This documentary is the first film to take a serious look at the history and evolution of BMX bicycle riding, from the streets of 1960s suburban neighborhoods to today's stadium-packed televised Dirt, Street & Halfpipe insanity. The sport of BMX is driven by individual riders. BMX is not made by corporations; instead corporations base their advertising on the lifestyles of these riders. This film captures the kind of stories that cannot come from a marketing strategy, coaches or statistics buffs - but rather from the individual guys who turned common street bikes into instruments of grace, strength and personal expression.

The individuals who started races and freestyle contests themselves. It is the individualism and self-expression of these riders that makes the sport's history, and this film, so unique. With people like Scot Breithaupt who started the first organized races in Long Beach in 1970, to Bob Haro, who pioneered BMX Freestyle riding, and created the first BMX freestyle bike, to Mat Hoffman, who’s personal sacrifices helped propel BMX stunt riding into the spotlight. These are some of the people who helped make BMX such a unique subculture.

There's no secret we appreciate the FATBMX.com sponsors. SE BMX have their new 2006 website up and you should take a look at it. The Wildman has put some serious time into the project and it shows. The history of the company goes way back to 1970 when Scot Breithaupt began organizing "Pedal Cross" races (that's called BMX these days). Scot started the SE Racing company in 1976 and still helps out with the company today. There is a section how you can become part of the SE Terror Squad, you can check out the 2006 bikes and find a distributor/dealer in your area. Anyway, click the SE banner on the right to get there.

Millencolin, Flogging Molly and The Unseen played in Tilburg at the Antidote tour. 013 was sold out, but the people at Vans and Eastpak made sure the FATBMX crew had tickets. Dennis and Paul picked me up in Dennis' VW transporter (for sale) and we ditched traffic to arrive in Tilburg in time for a few cold ones before the concert started. Some dudes in skeleton suits (Unseen?) couldn't really impress. Good thing we had a spot at the bar while watching this band. I wasn't sure if we were allowed to bring a camera inside the 013 concert hall but we tried our phones to get some sort of photo material for this interview.
