There's a lot going on deep in the belly of Simple Session each year so we thought we'd give you a taste of some of the behind-the-scenes antics that kick off in between the actual bike riding. Dan Paley fans are in luck this time as he was on top form, along with his spirit animal Twig. Thanks to Simple Session for another incredible contest!
Jump in the van, and hit the road with the team as we make stops at some of the best indoor parks, and bike shops between Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Rochester, NY. Filmed over the course of a week on the move, with some of your favorite Kink Team Riders riding indoor skateparks in the dead of the Rustbelt Winter.
We are huge fans of Still United at DIG so we're real psyched on this series of raw bonus, unseen and behind-the-scenes footage from the DVD. We'll have one of these dropping every Wednesday through February and March so keep your eyes peeled. First up is none other than New Jersey OG Jeff Kocsis. Gotta love that style!
Chase Krolicki is the newest member of the BMX Freestyle squad. Having grown up in the Michigan BMX scene, Krolicki has been surrounded by long-time veterans of the industry as well as up-and-coming pros who have helped him develop a unique style. “I’m stoked to have Chase on the team,” said Ben Ward, GT BMX Team and Product Manager. “I first met Chase in 2014 on a road trip to Detroit, Michigan. I was immediately impressed with his attitude and his riding. Then, I saw his part in The Michigan Video, and he blew me away. He has the new school technical moves, but he’s not afraid to send it when he has a chance. I’ve stayed in touch with Chase since then, and jumped at the opportunity to work with him at a brand level. The crew and I are more than excited to get Chase into the mix. 2017 is going to be seriously fun.”

Anne Hofsink - Welcome To Soulcycle from Halux Visions
Recently some of the The Collective took a trip over to NZ and visited some of the world's most renowned trails and spaces built for BMX.
We made contact with the dedicated individuals / volunteers that run each trail and space. Thank you to those that welcomed us with familiar faces and those new faces too - Nath G and all the locals at Gorge Rd Trails. Quinn, Gina, Cole and Brad from Lizzy Woods Trails.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
