Finally, race day was there. But it had rained all week and even on Sunday at 6am that wet stuff was coming down. It was dark, cold (6 degrees) and wet and we were on our way to have some fun at the second round of the Stoppelcross season. Rob Karsmakers, Pieter Does, Martijn van Bakel, Eric Mulders and myself met up in Beek en Donk and arrived at the corn field in Boekel 10 minutes later. We left the bikes in the vehicles/trailers and looked for the big partytent for sign ups. An empty wallet later I had signed up for the race, got myself an

RIDE UK #182 is ab out to hit the newsstands. In this issue the RIDE Crew is turning back the clock. Shitty weather has started and it's all about looking forward to the next summer. But BMX continues with people taking every bit of dry weather to ride outdoors. Warm socks, gloves and a fleece hoody will help with the next session in the woods on the trails or a cruise through the city looking for spots. But then again, there are spots that never get too cold, like Austin, Texas which the RIDE crew already visited for the Texas Toast event. They even have an Odyssey Texas Toast package available for a lucky winner so make sure to check that one out. Also the RIDE crew went to Equador on an adventure that involved some BMX. What would you expect when you got off the plane in that country? Read about the trip in #182. Other articles include Profile hitting the runway and a complete Nightmare bike test. When it gets dark at 5pm, at least you'll have something to read. 
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
