FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

Straight from training camp in the USA we received this message from Pro BMX racer Raymon van der Biezen:

"I’m very happy to have Specialized on board as my new partner for SPD shoes. They not only have the lightest, stiffest shoe on the market, they are well known for high quality products. At the moment I’m testing the 2013 S-Works MTB shoe, this shoe feels comfy but also really tight! These facts are important to my performance. It’s a real honour to work with such a big company, I’m looking forward to promote their shoes!"

At the same time Raymon left some nice words for long time SPD shoe supplier Shimano: "I would like to use this moment to say thank you Shimano for helping me out with the bike and shoe products by sponsoring the Dutch National Team all these years!"

Racing's back on the cover of the March issue of BMX Plus! magazine and it's Jeremy Rommel who gets it. Some people out there make BMX racing look good and Rommel's one of them. In this issue the BMX Plus! Riders of the year are announced. They gave away big prices to the winners years ago (cars, motorcycles) but I'm afraid it has changed as it's not such a big deal anymore. Giving away a car would change that. A bunch of bikes get tested and inspected. Dennis Enarson's Haro SD, Corey Martinez' United receive a bike check and the test crew got to work with a Premium Inception and an MCS Tracer Pro complete bike. The biggest race in BMX is the USA BMX Grand Nationals (formerly the ABA grands) and BMX Plus! made it over to Oklahoma to witness the biggest pro section on a BMX track ever. Jake Ortiz is on the Northwest and building better edits. Of course the regulars are back for this issue so go to the newsstands today to find yourself a copy. $4.99 or lunch today?
