The Skink Mid is everything a Skink is, just a little more Skinky for those that like a higher silhouette, and a bit more low ankle support. Wear them wherever you want, just don't forget to shred; these things are built to withstand the longest of sessions, and are second to none when it comes to performance. Count on the same extra features as the low top Skinks. Mid to save your ankles, waffle sole to stick to the pedals. This pair came with two sets of laces, white and red for your own customizing.

In school I was never really interested in history lessons. It was a thing of the past, a past I didn't experience. But when it comes down to BMX, it's a different story. Tioga just put up a catalog from 1980 (or around that time) and it's got a few interesting bits in it. First of all, their Rhino frames had double butted Cr-Mo tubes (in 1980 already folks!), they had super light tubes, awesome Competition tires and also they had DX pedals listed in THEIR catalog. Made by Tioga? Anyone?

Those crazy dudes are at it again. Another edition of the Mini FAT-JAM is on the schedule for 3 April 2010. It's a bit of a special edition as Paul's Boutique will celebrate its 15 years in business that weekend so if you've ever wanted to party with the Coach, and ride the Sugar Hills on the same day, 3 April is the day to circle in your agenda. The day will kick off at the local trails around 13h00. As always we're expecting sunny weather and it will be the first time to ride outdoors in a T-shirt. Winter has been too rough, it's time for some good outdoor riding. Of course we've gathered some prizes from our generous sponsors like Vans and Snafu, and Monster will be handing out some drinks to the riders to keep them energized. You've never had a photo on fatbmx.com? We heard they'll be there. What was the date again? 3 April 2010.

Oh yeah, the evening program will get loose at 20h00 in Oja, Schoolstraat, Aarle-Rixtel. Let's make it one to remember and living

The Vans Europe team riders were asked to take a photo of the Vans shoes they are currently wearing. Can you put the right shoes with the right rider? If you do, you will be entered in a draw. If you come out the winner you have the choice to get a pair of either:

BMX gets you around. It does. Especially for Zach Shaw. Last week Woodward, this weekend Bahrain, doing shows on the vert ramp during the season opener of the Formula One series. Here's Zach:
Having a blast here at the F1 in Bahrain, had a tour of the Force India garage and Sebastein Vettel hooked me up a pass through Senad to watch his Pole Position qualifying run from the Red Bull garage. Lots of crazy stuff to see here. Oh and the riding is good too. Laters Zac.

Congratulations on the double frontie! Tell me a little about how you learned that trick. How many attempts did it take before you landed it? What was the hardest part about learning it?
Andy: Well, it’s something I’ve been playing with for a while now but just as a joke. Then that day I had the perfect ramp and a Motox foam pit right next to the jump. I tried like 3 in the pit and they worked out so I just took it to the jump. Took three tries on the jump and I was rolling away.

You are a rider who can pull huge big air bangers as well as plenty of super tech tricks. What are some of your favorite
