FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

I'm watching the Agoride DVD right now and am trying to finish the review while watching. Not the best set-up but this way I'm sure it gets done. Basically the Agoride DVD is a great archive of 2005 happenings that took place in Europe and France in particular. Even if you're not a top 5 pro finisher, there is a good chance you made it on this DVD if you went to the FISE contest, BMX Masters, King of Boueno, Braun Flatground, Varsovie, the Vibrations Urbaines (Nantes and Pessac) or the 100 Contest.

Depending on what you are looking for, this DVD might be for you but it can possibly be not worth your time. If you hate jungle music and are down for the classics, you should turn the music down. If you don't like special effects, this DVD can get a bit annoying at times. If you want banger tricks only, we can advise you to look further. But the Agoride DVD sure has a crowd and we'd say it's for flatland riders as most footage is from the flat discipline.

The upcoming Mutiny DVD clocks in just under 30min and has bonus sections from the pro and bro teams giving you 20min more of pure video-tainment for only $15.95! Two videos for the price of half a video? That's insane. What's even crazier is the hidden wreck section you'll never find on the DVD. Gnar.

The NBR jam was a big success. Good BMX sessions simply rule. We posted a report on the Jam earlier this month. If you missed it, you can click [url=//fatbmx.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=1179]here[/url] to read what was going on and check some photos.

But there's more! Vladdie de Koning, one of the organizers of the NBR jam finished editing a sweet movie of the riding that took place in Middelburg, The Netherlands on 14 January.

There are three ways to watch it. Either through the FAT movies link here at FATBMX.com, through the www.mekerskatepark.nl website or through www.bmxigans.com.

Enjoy.
