Doing reports during the trip wasn't all that easy. That's why I've been reporting from home, not Cali. The last two days there were spent cruising around with not too many things on the schedule. I drove up from Carlsbad to Fullerton on Tuesday to go see the people at Box Components. They'd noticed through Instagram (@fatbmx) that I was in SoCal and asked to stop by. Toby Henderson and Michael Gamstetter didn't have all too much to show other than an empty building and some It's time for summer but looking outside, it's not there yet. We're off to the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup in Papendal this weekend but not before we give you this week's pin up shot. Looks like it's not raining where she is and the temperature is nice enough to put her bikini on. Cruisin'.
SNAFU has been sold and is under new ownership. Matt Bischoff has been hired as new Brand Manager.
May 11, 2012
SNAFU brand manager Harold "McGoo" McGruther approached Bischoff regarding the SNAFU takeover last winter. After 13 years at the helm of the boutique brand he co-founded in 1999, the 50-year-old bike-industry veteran simply chose to pursue other business interests. Matt Bischoff has been a part of the SNAFU team since the brand's inception in 1999, and brings to the program a wealth of enthusiasm and experience. 
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
