There's not a lot of riders out there who can say they've been with the same frame sponsor for 17 years, but that's exactly what Alex Valentino has done with his family at United. To celebrate the release of his new signature AUTOPORTRAIT frame, Alex and Arnaud Wolff have created this 30 minute visual masterpiece with glimpses at Alex's past, where he's at now, and of course some incredible riding from himself, and United teammates Jo Gass and Tom Deville.

Sam Grace has been repping Colony for a while now and for the past few months we've been working on a welcome video with Sam. Oh man did he go hard for this!

The Military, the FAT 'zine and BMX. 1991. Going back in time with BdJ. Issue 22.
1991 was the year I had to join the army. Everyone had to back in the day and it was my turn. Had my personal UZI 'n shit and made it to the Corporal rank in just one year, whatever that's worth. The best part of the 12 months in the army was that I managed to pass for my truck drivers licence. I rented a room so I did not have to live on the military base and could ride a bit after "work" and still manage to do the FAT-'zines.
The pace had slown down to only a couple of issues per year but they were stacked with stuff.
Just like issue #22: -Did a commercial in Gran Canaria for ProSpecs shoes in 1991
-Reported from the Trier contest
-Rode the Vogelsang dirt spot in Cologne
-Went to Abbeville in France for a contest
-Was there a contest in the Jugendpark every 4 months or something?
-Mini-FAT-JAM Aarle-Rixtel
-Christmas Jam report from Denmark
-Muenster Monster Mastership
-Skate comp in Erp
-ECC report
We had the pleasure of hosting QLDer and Back Bone team rider Jon Mackellar over the first week of winter here in Canberra. Despite it being freezing cold, Jonny brought his longest socks and thickest shorts, as well as his badass riding style. We hit spots throughout Canberra, as well as travelling out to Young to ride Will Kerr's spot.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
