Raleigh , the British bicycle brand, is supporting Alans BMX and the charity Bikes4Ukraine - Alans BMX will be raffling off two one-off custom Raleigh Burner Bikes in Ukraine colours to raise funds for the charity so refugees can be supplied with bikes. So far, thousands of refugees have left their homes with next to nothing and public transport is under extreme pressure. With limited alternative ways to travel, Raleigh and Alans BMX understand the urgency to support a charity.
Bikes4Ukraine is raising funds to support the collection of second hand bikes and transportation of them to Ukrainian cities such as Lviv, where thousands of people are currently seeking refuge. In order to help the charity, formed by Mikael Colville-Andersen, an internationally renowned expert on cycling and
urban mobility, Alans BMX built one Mk1 and one Mk2 Raleigh Burner BMX bikes. The bikes are specced with Dia-Compe brakes and Tioga tyres supplied by Ison Distribution, special graphics by Delcals
The 7th Annual GNARBQ jam in South New Jersey, U.S.A. went down last weekend, and it was a treat, to say the least. 100% DIY to the core, and non-stop wildness and laughs all day long. Shout-out to Chris "Baboon" Volkwine, Sean Rose, and everyone who helped make the jam possible.
Following on from last week's Peg Vacay video from Sweden, we've got another dose of Skandinavian BMX for you, this time from Denmark and Andreas Madsen. Packed full of creative grinds, interesting links, and even a spring loaded flat ledge, this is well worth a look.
A day spent out in San Diego with the ridiculously talented Cinema team and needless to say those guys provided the goods. Featuring the dream team - Garrett Reynolds, Chad Kerley, Nathan Williams, Corey Martinez and Dakota Roche.

A recycled rail and a potential location...That’s all we needed to get started on this DIY set-up. With the San Diego BMX DAY event approaching (July 18th) we decided it was the perfect time to get this rail in the ground.
The 2022 NORA Cup for Video Part of the Year goes to Lewis Mills and Ben Norris for “Lew is Fiending”!! Lewis and Ben really outdid themselves with this one. The video is an absolute banger, Lew’s style is mesmerizing and his trick choice is top tier. Ben crushed it behind the lens and put together a video that gets anyone hyped to ride after watching it.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
