The Eurobike Show in Friedrichshafen, Germany has traditionally brought the bicycle industry together for 25 years. Clocking up 42,720 trade visitors from 106 nations and 1,736 media representatives the show is one of the biggest out there. But as in previous years, finding BMX was a task. HARO Bikes had the biggest BMX booth out there, Stereo Bikes was present in their own unique way also. GT had two race bikes and a freestyle bike up on the wall and SE showed 4 BMX bikes and a Big Ripper but TL was nowhere to be seen.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
