Bart de Jong
I wanted to let everyone know I am no longer employed at USA Cycling as the BMX Program Director. After seven rewarding years at the helm, I would like to extend my gratitude to the USA Cycling organization for giving me the opportunity to lead a highly successful BMX program. I witnessed many great achievements which included three Olympic medals, four Pan American medals, five World Championship titles, and fourteen Supercross World Cup wins. I was also pleased to influence our partners to build the very first BMX Supercross track in North America followed by a second Supercross facility in 2012. 
The Vans Stat out of the LXVI line is now available for $90.00 (USD). It's where street wear styling meets modern construction. Clean, simple aesthetics combined with understated sidestripe branding create a fresh high top that's as good looking as it is comfortable. The upper of the Stat is wrapped in rich looking synthetic nubuck that is bonded on top of the ballistic mesh sidestripe that not only looks great but creates a functional flex point.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
