Let's start this review by a quote from Vic Murphy who was a regular contributor to the FAT-'zines back in the day. "I ride to get better. Not to get money. Not to impress anyone. Not to improve the environment. But just to see how good I can get riding from one place to another. Some people don't understand me. Well, I don't understand them. Ride to death." Vic Murphy. D.B.I. Issue 20 of FAT-'zine came out in the fall of 1990 right after we had finished another FAT-JAM (report in #21). We traveled around in the summer and visited the World Championships in Trier, a few VANS shows in Germany, went to the ECC in Slagharen, and we had a few lakejump sessions when it got really hot.
Interviewed people this time were Jason Jessee, Joop "Sloop" Smulders, Raymond Tabak, Frank Schnuetgen, and Dan Hubbard. We also had reports from the UK King Of Vert, a street jam in Aalborg, Denmark, the 2-Hip comps in the USA, and a full report from the contest in Cologne, Germany.
It's the first issue on the new typewriter so you can actually read the 'zine.
Enjoy.

So much rain Belgium! For the first time the Red Bull UCI Pump Track World Championship qualifiers had to pull results based off the qualifying times for the final results. Never underestimate those qualifying times. Niels Bensink did it in a time of 21.965 in blazing form and secures his ticket to the Red Bull UCI World Championships Final in Chile in November (all that pump track building must be paying off) a second place for Didi van Tiggel in a time of 22.423 and a third for current UCI Pump Track World Champ Eddy Clerté in 22.428
Danielle Vrenegoor did it in the Women’s Category to secure her place in Santiago with a second place for Sanne Winters. Shout out to Bodi Turner and Wade Turner all the way from Australia for 5th and 6th place.
