FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

We like crazy cover shots. Issue 51 of DIG comes through with a jump through a ring. A ring of FIRE would have been better but still respect to Anthony Villani for clearing it. Dave Osato would have had problems fitting that ring. Sometimes it's better to be small. The cover paper has a matt finish which is different and pretty cool. Oh yeah, the content. Here's the list:

THE USUALS:
-Dig This (News, Survival Tactics, Ross Teperek Art Fags, Liquor Bikes Company Policy, Owain Clegg in Mongolia, Mark Choquette 321, Danny Hickerson Cell Outs)

Hannuh Cools makes the cover of the latest BMX-Up magazine from France. This issue gives you all the news in French, Le Melange, the BMX indoor of St. Etienne, France and the Vivrations Urbaines in Pessac. On page 34 you have the Point de Vue, Paie Ton Ethique (yup, it's a French magazine) which is followed by the Folio (sweet photos). The weekend Warriors met at the North of France and had a good weekend of riding together. The pics and a report starts on page 42. Two talented racers that might actually be candidates for the 2008 Olympics made a trip to the USA together. Telling from the photos they had a good time. They're in their underwear drinking beer, riding TJ's trails, shot some girls' bum, passed out on the floor, rode skateparks, went to Woodward, rode the legendary Sheep Hills and uhh, did they get to race? Arnaud Dubois and Pablo Gutierrez had a good time and that's what counts. Girls get 2 pages of coverage in issue 35.
