We don't really know what to think of this one. She's out there, that's for sure. She's out in the desert and looks confused at the same time. Hopefully the monocoque style 20 inch bike she's on has a motor inside because she has a long way to go. In short, girl on bike = pin-up time. We shut up now. 18+
A little while ago we visited Skatepark Waalhalla in Nijmegen for the first time. From the outside it looked promising because this wasn't just an old abandoned sports hall. The size of the building was huge and the roof was high. What caught our eyes when stepping inside was the full on bar. Beers on tap, hard liquor and of course other healthy drinks as well. We checked the shop which was big but a bit unorganised. It would freak the Coach out if he would have to work in there but the collection of bikes, blades and boards was there. The chill area was probably a bit on the chill side as parents still had their jackets on and those who brought a beanie were lucky they took it with them. Not that it was freezing, but if you just sit there for hours waiting for the kids to be finished it can get cold. But we brought the bike so that complaint didn't come from our side.
The park felt brand new. They had just relocated from down the road which meant they had to start all over again. That's a good thing on one side because you can build whatever you want, but
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
