The Wild Night Contest - a professional BMX contest - will take place on the 28th of March in la Halle de Glisse of Lille. It is the 3rd biggest BMX contest in France, where 10 of the best international riders compete to win a Prize Money of 10 000€. A concert of local rappers is organized before the competition. At 7pm, the contest begins! Riders like Jack Clark (the winner of the WNC14), Daniel Dhers, or even Daniel Wedemeijer will be there. This year, 2 amateur riders will take part in the contest : they will have the opportunity to compete with the best international riders!
An after show at the Magazine Club of Lille will allow everyone - staff, audience & riders - to finish the day in the best way possible!

It's almost that time. The last issue of Freedom BMX magazine is near. #123 is available from today at the better BMX shops and book stores and #124 will still come out, but that will be the very last issue. Bummer, but focus will be on the internet from now on. FAT-'zine made that move in 1998 already, DIG and Freedom are following. We wonder who will be next. But we've got issues coming still. #123 has been dubbed the Frankfurt issue with loads coming from that corner of Germany. Bruno Hoffmann lives there and Freedom did a big interview with the German shredder. Marc Reschke takes you to Berlin to show some spots that you haven't seen yet. Marcus Reuss is back. In this interview he explains why he hasn't been on the scene much for the last two years but he's back now without showing he missed a thing. Benjamin Petsch, Kevin Nikulski, Lukas Häusler, Paul Thölen, the AB-Trails-Crew, Adrian Warnken and Paul Müller explain what terrain they ride the most and why. Carnaval in Cologne, on BMX bikes.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
