Mario informs that the parks are not super dialled and that there is no big purse available but you should go for the adventure, the experience and just to ride with a new group of riders.
If that sounds like that's something you're ready for, here are the dates, the places and the type of event (Dirt, Park and/or Race):

You've been involved with BMX since age three. How good has it been for you?
Stephen Murray: I just want to thank my parents for supporting me and getting me involved in BMX. Not only getting me involved but keeping me involved! You go through ups and downs as a young kid and are sure to get some bangs, bruises, cuts and other things that could quite easily shy you away from a sport like BMX. They have been there since day one. Through the highs and through the lows and I am still riding the same roller coaster they put me on 23 years ago! I don't know any different, BMX has always been a lifestyle for me and I have never took a break and gave it up for a while, like you would with other hobbies as a kid. BMX is my life and has given me more than I could ever have dreamed of. Thanks!
How hard was it (paper work) to move from England to the USA?
Stephen Murray: It is a whole bunch of bulls**t. Getting into the USA is definitely a mission. I mean immigration just don't make sense to me you know!

-Sunday will be the entire amateur comp, beginner, intermediate, and expert classes as usual.
Pro entry fee will be $50 and all Ams will be $25.
The inside scoop has all kind of news and funny photos. The BMXperts answer letters and BMX Plus! readers who send in a decent drawing have a good chance that their art will make it in the mail bag section. The parting shot is a sequence of Felt's Scotty Cranmer doing a double whip to tire tap. What's in between the cover and the last shot is in this list:
Bikes:
28 Redline Triple X
36 Haro SR Race
66 Failure Frame Test
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
