Visited Dez at his home spot in Haarlem, Netherlands to ride for a week. So we filmed this quick edit! Enjoy!
It's windy and it's raining, but the show must go on. You're on that 8 meter high starting hill with 7 nervous girls next to you. You know you need to jump that first jump to make a chance to transfer to the next round. Things can get sketchy sometimes that's why it's good to pad up. Natalia Suvorova explains her racing gear situation.

Canadians, just like Australians, are some tough mofo's. Actually most BMX SX racers are tough, but what do they have hidden under their jersey and race pants? These New Year, New Gear interviews on FATBMX give you an idea what the pros think about their racing kit, protection gear and helmet. Safety first!

“Fed Up with The Bullshit – Act Like You Know Crew’s 4th full-length video. Three solid years of dedication from the usual cast, plus a few new soldiers we’ve handed the torch down to. No sponsors, no travel budgets, no ‘practicing’ – just straight riding from the bottomless pits of East Coast and Midwest cities." - alykcru.com DIG hosted an exclusive online premiere of ALYK's 'Fed Up With The Bullshit' DVD just shy of a month ago. After the 48 hour viewing period a limited run of 100 hard copies were made available on the ALYK online store. The copies sold out quick, so thankfully for those who missed out we've got it back online now. Be on the lookout for more exclusive content from the crew to pop up on the site every Wednesday for the next several weeks. Also don't forget to snag some of the fresh gear the crew just dropped.
Dirt Bros // Bully Slow Ride // 1990 (Vic Murphy,Brad Blanchard,& Ronnie Farmer) by Snakebite BMX
Although the Bully video did not live up to the hype that the company was generating at the time it still was packed with an all star line up. It really feels like they filmed the whole video in a weekend. Even though the video turned out bad there is still a few gems you can find in this. The Dirt Bros. were at the peak of their popularity and nothing really looked cooler than these guys shredding SD on the 2 tone Bully's.
As the decade of Vert dominance of the 80's rolled to an end Jon Byers was boosting as the vert ramps were disappearing and being chopped down to mini ramps. Jon's pump on ramp is magic and i'm always bummed we didn't get to see more footage of him.
RL's part is super short and the highlights are him doing a table over one of the jumps at the Mission Hills trails and him talking to Scott Breithaupt while he is sitting in the street. Pretty weird.
Built for his type of riding style, the brand new Sergio Layos signature Sierra line was built from the ground up with speed and style, classic looks, common sense features and the latest technologies for a cleaner look and a strong, reliable build. Sergio's signature Sierra line is designed to take on every transition and set of trails it comes across. Watch as Sergio shows you just what is possible!
Today we are having a session behind my bike shop with CORY and BIG BOY! We start the session straight out with a jump over my Audi to get it going. We set up the spine, ledges, and A frame for the guys to ride. We taught Big Boy some new tech tricks while Cory got back some old ones and learned some new ones as well. We got a barspin out of Cory and a fake challenge multiple times today! Big Boy did his new favorite trick! Then Cory had to leave to go help his parents move so we ended the session there, I hope you guys enjoyed this one and remember to like, turn your notifications on, and subscribe!
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
