It's that time of the year again when you can't just go outside to ride the park, the mini or the trails. Flatland riders usually end up in the indoor parking lot but if you want to ride ramps, there are only a few places to go, if you are lucky. The Dutch BMX freestyle scene has been fortunate to have 040BMX park in Eindhoven and in return, the BMX riders have supported the park which was set up by Pim and Klaas van den Bos. Pim and the volunteers of the park thought it was time to give back to the BMX riders who had come over session after session to ride. Some even take more than 3 hour train rides (single trip) to get to Eindhoven to be able to ride the foam, the resi, the box, wooden bowl, XS section and everything in between. Last Saturday BMX riders could ride for free, they got something to drink and they got a free Hamburger off the BBQ. On top of that everyone had the opportunity to see MOOON live on stage.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
