Caroline Buchanan (AUS) and Connor Fields (USA) again claimed victory in the Superfinal Time Trials during the second round of the 2012 UCI BMX Supercross World Cup series in Randaberg, Norway. Less than a month ago this duo did exactly the same in Chula Vista California. That is remarkable considering this a small, fast, custom-build, indoor track compared to the much bigger, downhill, Beijing Olympic replica track. In other words, these two riders are unstoppable in their current form and can win anywhere.

A few Saturdays ago the InMortal contest took place at "The Promise" indoor park in Limburg. After Paul closed down the shop for the day, we cruised down to Heerlen just in time to see the finals. They split the field into two classes: AM and PRO. The riding in the AM class looked promising but the better action came from the riders in the Pro class. Riders did come down from as far as Norway for the contest which is always good to see. Many German and Belgian riders had made it to the
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
