Your last name sounds Dutch (we're based in The Netherlands). Do you know what your last name means?

In BMX you can't be safe enough. You never know when you need your protection so the best thing is to wear it all the time because that chain will snap at some point, or the wind will pick up or that scooter kit will run in front of you coming out of nowhere. Leatt's got a new helmet, and not just a normal helmet. This one is ground breaking, and here is why:

Pro purse announced for halfpipe (midi) and park comp at the Mandurah Games in Australia
The 2015 Mandurah action sports games are now underway and are set to take place on the 13th - 15th march 2015. There is $20000 prize purse for the skatepark competition with the bmx share listed below. If you're in need for some cash and you think you've got it to make some money riding your bike, the Mandurah action sports games will be the place to be for you that weekend in March. It will be good to see 10 vert riders on the deck as well as the first ten riders get paid the same as the first ten riders in park. Or enter both!
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
