2021 UEC European BMX Elite Champion and current leader of the UCI ranking Arthur Pilard had a great year but staying on the top is harder than getting there some say. With a new bike, the loss of the mental coach and many athletes trying to take his leading position, 2022 is not going to be an easy cruise for the Frenchman. Arthur is prepared for what's to come. Check his 2022 prep interview below.

"HEY BUDDY, IT'S THE POLICE DEPARTMENT!" - IN THE CUT: SUNDAY BIKES 'NO SERVICE' - PART 2
Back last year Trent Lutzke hosted his Sunday teammates, Brett Silva, Julian Arteaga and Jared Duncan out in his home state of Michigan, and the video (No Service - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYwJc... ) they came back with was an absolute banger. Now you can watch part two of all the bonus clips, extras and behind-the-scenes.
Mark took a quick weekend getaway to NC in the Fall to hang with Dave Long who was open to sharing some of his favorite spots.
Here’s a video of one day at the Shotgun Trails.
Dave and Charlie have been online video buds since 2008 or so, and they decided to make a lil' collab of some recent joints meshed with some history. Enjoy!
Victor and I only had around a week to film this video while I was in California and he absolutely killed it with the timeframe we had. Victor isn't particularly known for his street riding, so seeing him apply his skills to street spots was sick to film.
Newly added etnies Pro rider Miki Fleck has been on fire recently and he ain't slowing down anytime soon! Miki calls Barcelona his home, spending everyday exploring the streets with his fast, aggressive and raw style. Miki has actively put in his time with etnies since he was first welcomed to the flow team back in October 2018, and now he's got another dose of creativity for ya. His bump to pro is well deserved.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
