Just before the weekend the new issue of BMX Plus! drops in the mail. The weather this weekend isn't looking too good so this might come in handy. But where do we start? With the UCI BMX SX World Cup race report from Manchester? Or the HARO SD V2 test report? We used to go straight to the news section of the magazine but the internet has taken over that part. Did you know Sam Willoughby's B-day is when he is in Sweden for the World Cup in August? We just found out because it's in BMX Plus! There's also a new page where you can even get a photo in BMX PLUS! Follow them on Instagram @bmxplusmag and add the hashtag #bmxplusmailbag in your photo and you've got the chance to show up in the print version. Dillon Leeper gets put on the spot, DeGroot has his two pages and reports about Trey Jones' backyard. Alex Rabal shows five tricks to do on the Subrosa rail. Woodward West hosted an Open Am comp and Ryan Guettler takes care of the report. Have you ever put a press-fit BB in your frame? Unless you're a racer, you probably haven't.
When you're shopping online at the right time you can score yourself some good deals. Instead of fighting over a pair of pants in the store, you can surf the FOX HEAD page from your comfy seat and have it delivered to your door. And for a good price because loads of items are on sale right now
The NY hat and the American flag 'shirt' would hint towards our Friday Pin Up girl to be from the USA. But we have our doubts, and that's because of the bike. The chrome bike has a big sprocket, a front brake, a rotor, four piece bars, laid back seatpost, a seat with seatguts and one-piece cranks. Not that these bikes never existed in the USA but let me state that we have our doubts. But enough on that, it's about the girl, not the bike in the Pin Up section so come on in. Looks like she's ready for the weekend.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
