FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

We have all been affected in recent months, by the critical & even fatal injuries that have taken some of the best athletes in Actions Sports. Stephen Murray in June 2007, Mike Aitken in September 2008, and just last month the tragic loss of Jeremy Lusk. BMX rider, Eric Stein of Pittsburgh Pa, after recently being injured himself, has begun the BMX Life Fund. Wanting to make a difference and help his fellow riders, he will be organizing a “Life Tour” from the east to west coast.

The park is nearing completion - we're looking at opening officially on April 25th. It's amazing, to be honest! What can I say about it? We've been working on this for something like 12 years now; that's when we started campaigning and working for a proper skatepark in Dorchester (Dorset, UK) and I'm stoked to help out and get something decent made - and the skatepark is looking wild. It combines mini ramps transitions, modern shaped bowls, classic bowls, street areas, pump bumps, hips, volcanoes, ledges, flat banks... and more.
